Sent in my legal kit- fingerprint cards and background check stuff. Local University police do fingerprints for free, woot woot!
An inside look at life beyond chronic pain...
This blog started out as a way to document my journey with chronic pain and how I integrated mindfulness with that. I am broadening the scope to include other areas of my life as well. Blogging is one way that I can 'get out of my head and into my life.' Topics may inclue: dealing with chronic pain, recovery, graduate school, therapy, healing and hope, because really, it is all the same journey. Follow me, as I attempt to live a more mindful life.

"Falling in love with yourself is as beautiful as any experience of love is. It’s learning to laugh at your awkward tendencies and smile at all your quirky habits. It’s learning to be grateful for the many sides you have – confident, crazy, shy, sexy, nerdy, angry, weird, and all the rest of them. It is realizing that you’re one of a kind and that you deserve to give the world the best person you can be. Falling in love with yourself is being happy in your life and knowing that in this one moment in time, you’re beautiful simply because you are you."

Peace Corps Timeline #8
There is no real definitive “event” for this part of the timeline, so this is more of an update of where I am at.
I have uploaded 2 of the 6 medical pre-clearance forms I am supposed to have filled out. One of those was physical therapy notes and an MRI report of my neck in jury. I have a doctor appointment on the 20th to have my doctor fill out a general one in regards to my neck in jury, and sign off on 3 forms that my therapist has already filled out. I have also gone in for a thyroid function test and fasting metabolic panel that I will be included in one of the forms. WOW, I knew this would be a lot of work, but dang!
Today I also received the legal kit which contains a couple forms and fingerprint cards. So tomorrow during my lunch break I am going to the courthouse to get fingerprinted. YAY for moving onward and forward in this process!

…NOMINATION!!!
I spoke the regional office recruiter today and I was NOMINATED!This isn’t official acceptance, I still have a long road ahead. Nomination is basically the regional office’s endorsement of me as a candidate to headquarters. Now I move on to the next step in the process which is medical pre-clearance and legal clearance. I have 6 medical forms/requests that are all die in one month.
I am so excited to be moving to the next step! Here’s to positive thoughts and hope and LOTS of patience!

Peace Corps Timeline #7
I got a voice mail from the regional office’s recruiter today asking me to call her for a few follow-up questions that will enable me to move on to the next step in the process. The voice mail was from Friday…ahhhh!
She also told me that she would be on vacation for the next two weeks and unless I could call her back in the next couple of hours ( I got the call when I was in with a client and had one right after that so that wasn’t possible) she would call me when she gets back…on APRIL 29TH! So here starts the real waiting game of this all! :).
I called the Regional Office to see if there was anything I could do in the meantime, and they said no to just relax for a couple weeks until she is back and she call me with whatever the questions are so I can then move onto getting nomination. The guy I spoke with was very nice and said not to worry, that even if I talked to her on Friday I still wouldn’t have gotten a nomination any sooner due to her vacation.
So in the meantime I will keep reading Peace Corps blogs and books and focus on grad school. This is something I want SO much I just get so excited about whatever the “next step” in the process is!
