All my life I have swung from vine to vine so to speak. I just love so many different things and have so much passion for learning. But along the way I just haven’t settled on one strong interest. I don’t think I have too, but now it would help me to find something to focus on and give it my all. As a child I loved my pets and boy did I have many, dogs, birds, cats, ducks, turtles anything! I bred budgies, I saved wild animals. I was literally Bindi Irwin. I wanted a career in zoology of course but my VCE score was never high enough for me to get into Uni. So I took a year off to think about things. I received a flyer in the mail from centrelink offering free courses, the only places left were for Horticulture Cert III. I enrolled and from there my career in Nursery’s dominated for the next 8 years. Back to childhood for a minute I forgot to mention my passion for playing piano. I studied this for most of my childhood and then went back off and on over the years. After leaving work to have children I went back for a time and completed my grade 4 examinations which I was quite proud of. Also I dabbled in creative writing for a time and loved that too. I had a moment when I tried to do a diploma in Lab Tech, however I struggled and quit. My most recent attempt was returning to school to do a subsidised Diploma in music. I had to travel to Hawthorn and found this hard. Also with my health it’s been difficult to drive long distances (feet go completely numb due to compression of my connective tissues from the polymyalgia). So yet again I find myself wondering what to do with my life. Thinking, thinking, thinking and searching for a path. There has been one thing that has always fascinated me my whole life and that is Nutrition. Really I mean it, ask anyone who knows me and they will tell you I am most annoying LOL. Always quoting some vitamin deficiency I think they might have or telling them about my latest food find that will help me sleep etc… This got me really asking myself could this be something I could pursue? I am not exactly an expert by any means on nutrition, but I sure would like to be. In trying to figure out how to reverse my unhealthy body I truly believe that nutrition could dig me out of an early grave. Learning about food and how it can heal the human body is going to be my next path to follow, it’s not a science degree LOL but that was definitely reaching too high. Yes it’s another path but what’s wrong with exploring? Nothing, so I am enrolling in and Advanced diploma in nutrition, and will see where it takes me, why not. You only live once! I really had to search deep for this one. I asked myself what do YOU love. Even though my health is not reflective of my beliefs I can learn how to make it better. I have a passion for organic food and herbs and the power of growing your own produce, I have a passion for healing naturally but have been blinded by the medical community. Maybe combining my search for health with a career outcome will finally ground me?
