Songwriting for non-musicians sounds interesting, cool... like the perfect class for me. I've never taken a songwriting class and I am not a musician. I'll be praying for you, Smile!

I've been teaching and workshopping all aspects of Journaling, for writers group, bookstores and the Learning Annex (the latter starting this summer.) I never realized how much of a demand there was for this topic, but the response has been great. So many people would like to Journal but are lacking motivation and inspiration. That's my job, to provide them with that 'spark.' Whenever I get comments like, 'I stopped Journaling and couldn't find the motivation to go back to it until I heard you speak' - that is MY inspiration!

Boy, my thoughts on the subject are quite a bit different than those shared here.
I am considering taking courses to become a certified teacher.
I have been a business administrator for 25 years now and thought I might like teaching it on the high school level. I don't have the time left to earn a doctorate and teach ont he college level.
The change of venue might be a real kick.
I also here the pension isn't bad although I am running out of time for that so I better hurry.
What do you all think about a mid life or later in life change like that?
Given less pay?
Lynn

Smile, you have such diverse interests, and are blessed in every area. You go girl. Song, I've heard your CD. You don't need classes girlfriend. Speaker, good for you to share your knowledge of writing. Do you teach parenting classes? I did when the kids were little. I loved it. That's when our prayer group developed. Some of the gals taking the class decided we needed to pray for our families. We've been meeting Monday mornings when school is in session for maybe 13 years. Erica, how long have you journaled? What do you do with all your journals? What are you going to have someone do with them when you die? I just had this conversation with a friend yesterday. I'm passionate about prayer and journaling. I don't know where I would be without either. Lynn, life's about passion. I know you aren't happy with your current job and boss. Read this article in Time this week and then go for it! http://www.time.com/time/covers/1101050516/story.html

Hi, all, I am seeing there are so many talented and intelligent women here, pursuing their own interestes, and this is truly inspiring to me. Lynn...in my mid 30's I went back to school for my teaching certificate. I started teaching full time around the age of 40. I teach middle school art, grades 6,7,8. I love it, and I can tell you, from my perspective, that teaching allows time for other pursuits, as in my case, creating my own art. Since you are a gifted writer, you would have time for that also.

Well Dotsie, thanks for the vote of confidence in me regarding songwriting! I'm glad to learn there are so many talented women here. As a girl I dreamed of becoming a teacher. I teach a sabbath school class for 10-12 year olds each week. I've always been a sabbath school teacher, varying ages. But my favorite is juniors and teens. But seems like lately I'm spending more time one on one, ministering to women... I'm also considering and preparing for a writer's workshop for women in church who want to write for the devotional book. Not sure when that will take place yet, but since they've seen my devotional articles and other things I write, many have asked so I'm getting ready and hope to have it on my calendar soon.
