This is where I share my musings on a life, a community and a world in transition. In the postings here, I'm just trying to be ME as I struggle to find my way through a confusing time and place ... Here you can listen in on my reflections, my thoughts and my occasional rant ... In this place, ALL ARE TRULY WELCOME - the only requirement is that YOU keep an open mind ...
Congratulations! Though, I could never understand how a group of people made up of the same people who helped cause the problem such as lay people, could take a professional's privlege to have a designation they worked for,taken away. I have sat in many presbytery meetings in my life and I liken some to schoolyard bullies through their words and actions. On the other hand, I have sat in my own professional college meetings and they are just that--professional. The difference? we are all working toward the same issues, not against each other. You can accomplish much more in social work that you now have the chance to do, so don't hang on to a title. Like Joseph Campbell says, "If you feel yourself falling, Jump!"
