[nabentre] Greetings! Is Anybody Home?

[Liz C. Daniels]

Hi Nancy,

I am equally fluent in braille in both languages, but my heart's just not in 
it anymore.

At least as an interpreter, you're with people, but translation is a lonely 
job because it's just you, the documents  and the computer; unless of course 
you're in an office environment.

I am not interested in working as a teacher either, so am taking some time 
off to catch my breath and explore.

Thanks much for your valuable input though, smile!

Liz

Are you fluent in Braille for any of these languages?  I am wondering if
translation of the written word might be a way for you to go.  You might
also think about teaching English as a second language or working with your
literacy council to help people who need to mighrate into reading English.

If you check with some of the on-site schools for the blind, they each have
a recreation director and the ones that I know of have yoga classes as well.

Dear Group,

What a nice surprise to see several responses, thank you!

OK, so here's my brief intro:

My name is Liz Conejo Daniels, and along with my DH and guide dog, we live
in the Los Angeles area.

I've been freelancing as a Spanish-English language interpreter for the past
seven years or so.

I was born in San José, Costa rica, and legally emigrated to this country
many years ago.  I was also educated in both spanish and English
simultaneously , so have essentially retained being bilingual.

However, I've recently come to the conclusion that I'm working in a dead-end
job, am burned out and need to make some much-needed life changes this year.

I'm middle-aged, have plenty of work experience and joined this list to get
ideas and perhaps network a little.

When not interpreting between various service providers and Limited English
People (LEP's) I enjoy playing guitar and recorder, singing, knitting,
horseback riding and yoga.

Actually, one of the possibilities I'd like to explore might be that of
teaching yoga.

If anyone has any questions and/or comments, please feel free to post; I'd
love to get some feedback.

Chao!

Liz and Pirate
