Play to Get Ahead

We don’t stop playing because we grow old, we grow old because we stop playing.

Salt

I’m in the throes of studying for the NCMHCE board exam for the third time now. I failed it the first two times, or should I say, I learned a lot from the first two times (wink wink ). It’s the hardest damn test I’ve ever taken and has required more than a whole year of my life to hopefully pass. I’m seasoning my approach this time around with a heavy hand of confidence, salted ever so intentionally with openness and a good sense of humor. Lord knows this process has been quite humbling.

Failure (ish) – Beauty in the Breakdown Pt. 1

Last Monday I took the NCMHCE (National Clinical Mental Health Counseling Exam) for the second time. Last Monday I also failed it for the second time. Ouch. I know. Not only did I study literally daily for three months—a miracle in and of itself as I am a chronic procrastinator and rarely study for stuff—BUT; I shelled out some serious cash twice to take the rugged thing. If I were going into the counseling business to make money, I would surely have pursued the licensure/testing realm of it instead of the practitioner side of it. Those people must make serious bank.
