Further Info Since Being Back in the States

So Sat. morning my body decided that 7am was a good time wo wake up :) This afforded me time to go deep with the processing. The Friday night thing didn't work so well, because I kept falling asleep (from 7:30pm-9:30pm) while attempting to journal. So I gave up.
The Saturday morning "session" ended up working out much better. GOd definitely showed me where I've grown, where I need to grow, etc. It's not something I can put into words yet, but know this: I am so grateful and blessed that I went on the India missions trip.

I am still waiting to get the update on the financial outcome of the trip/who gave support ($ and prayer). As soon as I get that, a thank you letter w/a picture will be sent out.

Blessings,

Kylie

I am BACK! I can no longer use the excuse of graduate school and internship and moving twice in six months as reasons not to keep up with my Blog. So, quick update: board certification exam passed (Nov '15), graduated from grad school (April '16,) moved back home & took a part-time music therapy job & weekend receptionist job while job searching for a full-time (April-June '16), went from a FL girl back to a MI girl when I got my full-time position (Nov '16), and I now have a dog (Nov '16). Originally I had created this blog to document my world travels; I had huge aspirations. I am slowly realizing that "Going Somewhere" doesn't necessarily have to be a physical journey, but can be a mental, emotional, or spiritual journey as well. While I may not be exploring the ends of the Earth in my current stage of life, I am exploring myself and my new role as an "official adult." As an "official adult" my thoughts are occup...

Easter Baking Frenzy

Image
On Easter weekend, in between church, enjoying the sunny outdoors with the pup, cleaning, and family lunch, I was in a baking frenzy. A while back I had purchased King Arthur Flour's Unbleached Whole Wheat Flour and a small package of their organic unbleached all-purpose flour. After searching for several weeks for yeast-free recipes, not being content with what I was finding and wanting to make, I caved and picked up instant yeast from Aldi. After scouring Pinterest and Google, I stumbled on a recipe for Honey Oat Whole Wheat Bread. Oh. My. Gosh. Not only was this an easy recipe to follow, but the smell as it was baking...so good. I ended up making 2 loaves, of course the 2nd turned out much better than the first (which is great because it wasn't for me!) Making this without a KitchenAid or hand mixer made me a tad bit nervous initially. BUT, I figured if my great-grandmother could make killer/famous multi-grain bread without a mixer, I can make a little loaf of Honey O...

Timelines

So in the past 2.5 weeks I received what I classified as "disappointing news." Good news: I have completed my music therapy internship! Bad news: I won't be going before the University IRB until August, and the hospital's IRB until November. Bad news continues: I won't be able to begin collecting my data until Christmas break - approximately the first 3 weeks in December. Bad news: I now cannot complete my thesis until the Spring semester. Bad news: I don't graduate with my M.M. until May 2016. Good news: I can sit for the CBMT whenever I want. Good news: I have (for at least the Fall semester) a graduate assistantship. Good news: I have an entire school year to work on my thesis, rather than a semester. Good news: I have some part-time contract work with the hospital for a few weeks. Potential good news: I might be able to get some work through a private practice. Bad news: I have to leave a town I love, and the friends I've made in...
