My next chapter begins with reapplying to my Master&#8217;s of Science in Psychology program, which I am happy to say is DONE. It feels like it has been ages because I started my master&#8217;s in the summer of 2022. I finished 3 courses and the first part of my thesis during my first year at Divine Mercy University. The program is excellent, and I love the asynchronous learning environment. It was sad when I had to take a leave of absence, but it was the right decision at the time. I am thankful that things have settled enough to get back on that pony now!

I suffered a miscarriage (we&#8217;ve had multiple; I plan to write about that sometime), and my husband&#8217;s career change process was going&#8230; well&#8230; awful. It was not the time to keep on going. I approached the change like a bookmark, not an ending, and did the hardest work of all: waiting. It took me 12 years to finish my undergrad, and I was used to that hard work of waiting and persevering, but this&#8230; felt different. When I went to university, it was because it was what I thought I ought to do. I graduated on the honor roll and earned the International Baccalaureate Bilingual Diploma in high school, so it would be a waste not to, right? <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-medium has-lightbox\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ibo.org\/\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"134\" data-attachment-id=\"3283\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/snowroseblossom.ca\/fr\/2026\/01\/26\/stops-and-starts\/ib\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/snowroseblossom.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/IB.jpg?fit=336%2C150&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"336,150\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-title=\"IB\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/snowroseblossom.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/IB.jpg?fit=336%2C150&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/snowroseblossom.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/IB.jpg?resize=300%2C134&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3283\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/snowroseblossom.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/IB.jpg?resize=300%2C134&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/snowroseblossom.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/IB.jpg?resize=150%2C67&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/snowroseblossom.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/IB.jpg?resize=18%2C8&amp;ssl=1 18w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/snowroseblossom.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/IB.jpg?w=336&amp;ssl=1 336w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I chose linguistics because it seemed cool, and it turned out to be dramatically useful in improving my writing skills. Instead of struggling with writing due to dyslexia, I learned the English language from the inside out and could break down sentence structure to its constituent parts. I thought I would minor in music, and I went in hoping for the best. I was sorely disappointed to learn that the only music classes I could take were theory that I had already learned in high school (I took IB music). Religious studies caught my eye, and I started learning about world religions. I decided on a Double Major, like the keener I was&#8230; but then&#8230; I had to stop. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Learning what mattered <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This was when my health, which had consistently been deteriorating due to undiagnosed celiac disease and a decade of black mold exposure, led me to slow down and, in many ways, stop. I graduated with a 3-year degree in four years&#8230; and stopped and started over and over again for the next 8 years to finish that elusive double major. It remains an unmet goal because by the time I had been ready to finish the last 2 courses for a major in linguistics, it had been too long to dive headlong and take 4th-year classes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With a heavy heart, I stopped my double major and started a major in Religious Studies and a minor in Linguistics. I was so close, but it wasn&#8217;t what I wanted to do with my life, so it wasn&#8217;t worth the difficulty to catch back up and finish those classes. I learned that it didn&#8217;t matter if I did the greatest or best program, it was ok to do MY best. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A time to go and START!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Unlike my undergraduate studies, I have a purpose and direction in taking this Master&#8217;s in Psychology. When I stopped, I took the <a href=\"https:\/\/snowroseblossom.ca\/fr\/2024\/10\/16\/the-most-helpful-education\/\">Chartered Herbalist Diploma<\/a> that I had originally planned to take AFTER! So it wasn&#8217;t even a full stop for the direction I feel called to travel. Instead, the stops and starts have been purposeful and decisive. When it is time, it is time! It has been a long 3-year wait, but I am ready and itching to get back to it. I&#8217;m excited for this next chapter!<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-medium\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\" data-attachment-id=\"3284\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/snowroseblossom.ca\/fr\/2026\/01\/26\/stops-and-starts\/chatgpt-image-jan-26-2026-05_31_40-pm\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/snowroseblossom.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/ChatGPT-Image-Jan-26-2026-05_31_40-PM.png?fit=1024%2C1536&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1024,1536\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-title=\"ChatGPT Image Jan 26, 2026, 05_31_40 PM\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/snowroseblossom.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/ChatGPT-Image-Jan-26-2026-05_31_40-PM.png?fit=683%2C1024&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/snowroseblossom.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/ChatGPT-Image-Jan-26-2026-05_31_40-PM.png?resize=200%2C300&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3284\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/snowroseblossom.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/ChatGPT-Image-Jan-26-2026-05_31_40-PM.png?resize=200%2C300&amp;ssl=1 200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/snowroseblossom.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/ChatGPT-Image-Jan-26-2026-05_31_40-PM.png?resize=683%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 683w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/snowroseblossom.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/ChatGPT-Image-Jan-26-2026-05_31_40-PM.png?resize=100%2C150&amp;ssl=1 100w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/snowroseblossom.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/ChatGPT-Image-Jan-26-2026-05_31_40-PM.png?resize=768%2C1152&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/snowroseblossom.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/ChatGPT-Image-Jan-26-2026-05_31_40-PM.png?resize=8%2C12&amp;ssl=1 8w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/snowroseblossom.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/ChatGPT-Image-Jan-26-2026-05_31_40-PM.png?resize=1000%2C1500&amp;ssl=1 1000w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/snowroseblossom.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/ChatGPT-Image-Jan-26-2026-05_31_40-PM.png?w=1024&amp;ssl=1 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sometimes I think that life is just a series of stops and starts.
