    LOTS of dr's and nurse's (even a phlebotomist) in the family but I'm the only one in Pharmacy. Love taking care of people and helping but there's no way I'd get paid enough to wipe a stranger's bottom, lol

    I decided as a lil girl that I want to be Massage Therapist. My mom was a single mom putting herself through school and worked 2 jobs. She would come home exhausted and sore and I would rub her back and feet. I just had a touch even then. I LOVE what I do and helping other people. Now if I can just figure out how to do it to myself I'd be a happy woman. Lol

    Fell into it, being poorly educated I had to make the best out of whatever situation I found myself in. In my late 20's, I found myself as a security guard at a hospital. Then I took a little more training and found myself as a security officer at diamond mines. Then one day the warden called me from the correctional center and asked if I would like to work for them. The rest is history, 11 years in and doing well, making a pretty decent living.

    Painting picked me. I tried so many other things in college and in life because I knew being an artist leads pretty much nowhere, but art is my only natural talent so I gave in eventually.

    God slapped me in the face with it!! The clouds opened up and this thundering voice resonates throughout the surrounding mountains and states, " Yoooou are too stupid to hold a desk job but you are built like a weak man and can hold your breath for ages...you will be a rescue diiiiver" (all of this is in a deep godly voice) and I felt like peeing my wet suit and said "yea God? Ya really think so??" to which he replied "Uuuhhhh yea?? I am the creator!!....dumbass"

    Lol. Loved this one and you for what you do! :laugh:
