Step 1. (long overdue)

In September of 2006, I filled out an application to get my Massage Therapy license in NY. I carried it around with me for a while. Left it at my office desk. Changed jobs, brought it home. Moved apartments. It moved with me.

Anyone who knows me knows this is how I tend to do things. I just carry the idea around with me, taking small steps whenever I feel ready.

When I found it this weekend, the application has a sticky note attached with a list of items.

License # (checked)
Name as it appears (checked)
Diploma received from MTI (checked)
Notarized
$100

And now? That application is filled out, notarized, signed and in an envelope, stamped and marked with NY State Dept of Education.
