Wow! It all makes perfect sense when you put it that way.

I wish I’d been so articulate while I was career changing from politics to public school teacher.

I look forward to reading more of your work.

Very, very cool story – thanks for sharing. I am guessing I’m not the only one curious for more… Maybe you could share the “nuts and bolts” version, about getting the first client, getting VA-specific skills, etc? Whenever you are not too busy helping your lucky clients!

Neat, I didn't even know you were a lawyer until I read this post. How nifty. (: <3 .-= Pace´s last blog ..The Final Book Bonanza Wednesday! Chapter 34: Endings =-.

@Jen: When you apply, I’ll be one of you letters of recommendation. “Dear Sir or Madam, Jen rocks. Yours truly, Marissa.” (And thank you!)

@Havi: What a sweet and wonderful comment to receive! Made my mums tear up when she read it. Much gratitude.

@Jenny: The feeling is mutual!

@Char: Yay for dog breaks in yoga pants!! And yay for a job that lets me meet and work with people who come by my blog and leave incredibly kind and heart-warming comments for me.

Sigh. You all make me very happy!!

Wow –
Love how you married law school and can-do-ology and made such an incredible life for yourself.
And a woman after my own heart – taking dog breaks in yoga pants while making a difference in the lives of so many.
How awesome – just like you!!!

Man, I can’t believe how lucky I am that you found/chose/invented Can-Do-Ology over law.

And I totally can’t wait for the day when we *do* get to pay you a comparable salary to the law world. Ha. AWESOME.

In the meantime, wishing you all the right Right People and all the support, joy, love, appreciation etc that you need.

Having found you is one of the great fantastic things that’s happened in my life.

So, my follow-up question is, “Where do you think I should apply to law school so that I can grow up to be as cool a VA as you are?”

You rock, Marissa!
