ML: EricaC Has A Hand For Horses

My confidence in Erica (Curless) stems from seeing her in a variety of situations, always observing the same consistent traits: common sense, genuine warmth, sensitivity toward others, an enthusiastic focus toward perfection, raw talent and a sense of responsibility. I’ve seen this in her as a student, colleague and, most recently as our first-ever housesitter. Recently, Erica moved on in her life to a new career. For years, she has served as an outstanding reporter for the Spokesman-Review. Like so many in the economically ravaged newspaper business, she took a proactive approach toward her future and returned to school to pursue a new vocation. She’s now a certified equine massage therapist who also works with dogs/ Marianne Love , River Journal (Love Notes). More here .

Question: Obviously, Erica pursued her dreams after she rolled snake eyes with the newspaper industry. If you were going to pursue a dream rather than cling to the security of a job in these troubled times, what would you like to do?
