Hello everyone! Rygone here.

So a bit of good news this month. I got my final grade back for my semester and it turns out that it's a pass. This means that as long as nothing is in the background that I don't know about, I will have graduated with my Masters in Clinical Rehabilitation and Mental Health Counseling! After so many years I have an advanced degree! This is awesome and I can't wait to see how my future will look with it now.

As a second bit of good news, I also passed my National Counselors Examination! This was an extremely hard test and while it does not mean that I can practice as a counselor yet, it does mean that I meet a difficult criteria to be considered a competent counselor on a national level. With this under my belt, that means that I will soon be able to earn my NCC credential which will be very helpful in my journey to become a certified counselor.

I'm honestly not sure how to celebrate these victories but I do know that I would like to get a picture. What do you all think? Maybe get a group transformation picture that's mostly my treat? Or maybe get something smaller and more personal to celebrate. I'd love to hear what suggestions you all might have and depending on what I decide I may make another journal asking for people who would like to join me in getting something together!

Thank you to everyone who has supported me as I've worked towards my goals as a mental health worker. With my time now freed up a bit, aside from my job, I should be writing and streaming a bit more now. This means I'll be posting commissions more and opening up for more soon! Have an idea of something you would like to commission, feel free to say! I'm always interested in what people's ideas are and who knows, I may just be inspired enough to add one to my queue.

Happy Holidays everyone!
