The time has finally come. I am leaving Springfield, MO for good. I'll begin packing up the apartment here in a little bit, I'll drive home tomorrow, and I will stay there. I don't have to worry about getting back here on time for a class, session, lesson, or whatever. And it feels pretty good.
I had my last MT session for Drury yesterday. I turned in my keys and didn't look back! I will admit that I'm going to miss all of my clients. I worked with some really great people. This was the first time that I actually had the same clients for over 5 months. I really got to know them and see significant progress. I will definitely miss them and the families I worked with, as well as my colleagues.
But now it's time for me to move on. For those of you that don't know, I am in the process of starting my own private practice. It's been hard to work on it since I've been in MO and I want to start the practice in AR, but I've made some progress here and there. I at least own my business name: Music Therapy of Northwest Arkansas (MTNWA for short). I've set up a website, Facebook page, and Twitter account for said business. I've worked on all of the start-up documents. And I've met a great lady from my church at home, and along with a couple other people, we're working on getting an office/clinic together.
I'm really excited about the next few months. I'll actually be home and able to get things rolling. I can get all my PR stuff ordered (business cards, flyers, etc.), I can attend more of the group meetings for the clinic, and I can really make my presence known in the NWA area. These next few months are gonna be nerve-wrecking as well. On top of getting all the private practice stuff set up, I'm going to Super Summer for both JV and senior high, and my family and I have to move my sister out to LA at the beginning of August. It will be a busy summer to say the least!
I'm no amazing blogger in the least, so it will probably get even worse now. But check on the MTNWA website for updates about the business!
