[Blindtlk] Professions on list?

[Marion Gwizdala]

Peter,
    There is a wealth of information available on various professions blind 
people perform available through the NFB. As for me, I had a challenging 
time deciding what I wanted to be when I grew up and, since I have not yet 
grown up, am still deciding! (grin) I have been a professional musician 
since I was 16 years old. In my 20s I pursued a career in sales and 
eventually found myself recruiting people to work overseas. After saddam 
Hussein invaded Kuwait, the bottom fell out of the overseas employment 
market, so I went back to school, got a Bachelor's degree in Psychology 
followed by a master of Science degree in Mental Health Counseling. I am 
currently in private practice as a Life coach and Hypnotherapist, though I 
still perform regularly and serve Unity North Tampa as their Music Director.
    When I do my public speaking, whether for the NFB or for kairos Health & 
Wellness Center (my private practice, see http://www.KairosHWC.com)  I 
generally employ music as a tool to engage and underscore my talks. I share 
this with you to encourage you to develop several talents and use all your 
assets as you network with others!

Fraternally yours,
Marion Gwizdala, President
