2022 Is Ready to Receive YOU!

2022 Is Ready to Receive YOU!

No need to step outside your door. Everything you need is inside.

Not inside your home. Inside of YOU!

Transform your life in 2022 by transforming yourself in the service of others!

“Service to others is the rent you pay for your room here on Earth.” -Muhammad Ali

I love this quote and in 2022 – and beyond, you can serve others by embarking on a new career,

or two, or more…

I. College/Professional degree “work-arounds”

1. Lawyer/Attorney: To practice law in the United States, most states require a law degree

and a license to practice earned by passing the state’s bar examination.

However, California, Virginia, Vermont, and Washington State allow bar applicants to

take the examination without attending law school. Instead of requiring bar applicants

to graduate from law school, the applicant is required to work under the supervision of

an attorney or judge for a three-four-year period. Kim Kardashian opted not to attend

law school in California and had completed the first step in becoming a licensed

attorney in the state. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/kim-kardashian-first-year-law-

student-exam/

Maine, New York, and Wyoming require some law school experience to take the state

bar examination.

Students who earn a Juris Doctor degree from the University of Wisconsin offer a

“Diploma Privilege” which allows their graduates to secure a license to practice law in

Wisconsin without taking a bar examination.

2. Mediator: A mediator can resolve any kind of dispute and many times provides a more

efficient, cost-effective option to litigation. Typically, states require mediators to have at

least a bachelor’s degree, there are exceptions. For example, in Pennsylvania, there are

currently no national or statewide organization that certifies or licenses mediators.

Individual courts in Pennsylvania establish their own criteria for mediators. If you are

interested in becoming a mediator, it would be beneficial to identify a field of practice

such as small claims or custody and divorce.

3. Private Investigator: There are five states that do not require a private investigator to

have a license: Alaska & Idaho (some cities in these states do have licensing

requirements), Mississippi, South Dakota, and Wyoming. Though many states do not

require a college degree, they do require specific educational requirements.

II. Learn a Language or Teach One…

1. Benefits of Learning a Second Language: A recently published study entitled,

“Does Bilingualism Protect Against Dementia? A Meta-analysis” determined that

yes, learning another language can delay the onset of Dementia and Alzheimer’s

disease. https://news.las.iastate.edu/2021/01/28/study-shows-learning-a-

second-language-thwarts-onset-of-dementia/

Do you need additional motivation to learn another language?

The University of the Potomac published an article “9 Benefits of Learning a

Second Language” and listed the following: 1) It Stimulates Your Brain, 2) It

Improves Your Attention Span, 3) More Career Options to Choose From, 4) It

Boosts Your Creativity, 5) It Improves Your First Language, 6) You Build

Multitasking Skills, 7) It Slows Down Cognitive Decline, 8) It Improves Your

Memory and 9) It Boosts Your Self-Esteem.

2. Benefits of Teaching a Language: If English is the only language you speak, no

worries! There are companies that let you teach English Online Without a Degree

and get paid. https://www.internationalteflacademy.com/blog/5-companies-

III. Improve Your Health and the Health of Others: Did you know that there are 42

individual muscles in the face? I did not learn this until I enrolled in a 5-month Face

Yoga Teacher Certification Course. Not only did I learn how to maintain a youthful

appearance, but I also now had a tool to share with stroke patients and those with

Bell’s palsy, a series of facial exercises to help them regain facial movements and

symmetry.

I also became certified in a basic online mini-trampoline training course because of the

numerous positive effects on the entire body. Bouncing on the trampoline not only

strengthens the cardiovascular system but also all the muscles. I encourage finding one

or more virtual exercise buddies as a wonderful way to keep in touch and to stay on

track with our health accountability goals!

Step out of your comfort zone in 2022…for the FUN of it and bask in the joy of being

of service to yourself and others!

~Happy New Year~
