Pepsi Refresh Project

This has been a dream of mine for the past several years. I was with a friend one night, talking about jobs, kids, etc., and she asked me what I would do if I could do anything I wanted. Out of the blue (but probably not really), I said "I want to have a massage therapy school." I had been involved with another school and went to the owner and asked her if I was crazy and she said probably, but it was definitely doable. After several discussions, she offered me an opportunity to create my own class at her school and gave me the freedom to incorporate new and innovative ideas. I thrived on it and had never been happier doing anything else. Unfortunately there was a difference of views and our collaboration (and sadly, our friendship) ended abruptly and hurtfully. But the idea of having my own school has always been in the back of my mind. God is always on time and I pray that this is my time! Hi, Maribeth!
