I’m torn because once we define ourselves, or our work, we begin to limit our possibilities as well.

You’re right. State boards, and others want to define us, AND control the trade. Yet I wonder where we’d all be if Jesus had to be certified and licensed to touch, if Buddah were required to have legal terms to define his trade before speaking, if mothers were required 500 hours of technical training before being allowed to care for their children.

Maybe I’m just in a bad mood, but this bugs me today!

Haven’t we survived for millions of years without all this nonsense?

I don’t want to be limited by a definition determined by a bell curve. I want my self-expression, my contribution, my kindness, my whole-life-experience to speak for itself . . . even as I change and grow.

I guess I am a bit rebellious . . . and I thank my lucky stars for that!
Keep up the great work.

Best of success to you,
