If you’re thinking about a career change, you might consider the field of golf. Here’s a short intro video to introduce you to Keiser College of Golf.

I am a firm believer that I can never stop learning or trying something new.  The reason that I was put on this planet by whoever was so that I could experience life, not just drag myself through it.  I would like to think that I am a good example of this philosophy, and I have done many things so far including sky diving, rock climbing and scuba diving.

But that doesn’t mean that I will stop.  In fact, I am going out to do something new this afternoon.  A great friend of mine, Dan is taking me out to do some target practice with his airsoft guns.  Now, I haven’t seen them in real life or anything like that, but from what I understand, they are replicas of real military weapons, but shoot plastic pellets.

I’m really interested to see what it feels like to hold a gun (since this girl has never held one before), and see how good (okay, really how bad I am) I am when we do target practice.  I figure, worst case, it will be a great afternoon of laughing as we watch how pathetic my aim is.

Anyway, I’ll try to get some pictures and maybe post some pictures to show you how fun my day was.  Wish me luck!

What a wonderful year for me this year.  I am so happy that I had the opportunity to spend Christmas with my folks for the first time in years.  Usually I have been so busy, or the weather has been bad, but for a change, someone was smiling on me and I am sitting down writing this blog post at my parents house.

It was really great to spend time with friends and family last night at my parent’s annual Christmas party and we had a blast.  Most of the people that come each year have been coming for my whole life and I have grown up with them.  I consider each one of them family, and it was great to catch up with them.

Despite all the good things that this year had to offer, I made a little mistake when I asked for my Christmas gifts.  Now, it isn’t anything horrible, but I guess that I must have told more than one person that I wanted a camera bag for Christmas.

Oops!

Needless to say, I received nine camera cases under the tree, and I guess I’ll be taking some of them back.  This hasn’t happened since I was a kid when I asked for a copy of Big Shiny Tunes 3, and received four of them.

I guess I’ll have to pay a little more attention to what I say next year!

One of the things that I love about my lifestyle is that there is a lot of freedom and flexibility to my life.  Working on my own has given me the opportunity to make as much money as I want to, and at the same time, if I need some time off, I can talk to the “boss” (myself) and get the time off that I need.

Today was a good example.  A good friend of mine is currently the director of the culinary school in town.  She has been there for just about ten years now, and has moved up from the original position that she held there as instructor.

Over the Christmas break they close the school down for a couple of weeks to give the instructors and students a break.  Usually the director is in charge of closing up the school for the holidays, but Alice and her family had planned to take a much needed vacation over the break.

So, she asked me if I could close up the school for her.  I couldn’t refuse as she has done favors for me in the past, and truth be told, I don’t mind helping.

But I have to say that seeing the school devoid of people was kind of eerie.  I guess without students and instructors, culinary arts institutes would just be empty buildings, right?http://www.thefreedictionary.com/devoid

I think that one New Year’s resolution we should all make is to judge people less in 2010. Even if you are a fairly non-judgmental person, you probably make more judgments than you ought to. It seems to be human nature to do this.

Try to track your judgments on others for an entire day. Common judgments to keep an eye out for include:

• Judgments about people’s appearances. It is all too common for us to have thoughts in our minds about what someone is wearing or how much they weigh.
• Judgments about how smart someone is. Imagine a woman who did an audiology online degree through an online medical school. What judgment did you just make? Some people will say she has to be smart to do that whereas others would pass judgment on attending an online school.
• Judgments about people’s relationships. Why is it that we have any opinion at all on how other people conduct their relationships with one another.
• Judgments about how people treat us. He didn’t call. She didn’t show up. He didn’t hold the door open for me. She didn’t put on any makeup before our date. What do these things mean? They might mean nothing but we judge them anyway.

The more that we judge others, the more we limit ourselves. Let’s free ourselves from judgment this year!
