hi rhona,

i live in india and am quite like where you are in your life. i have just sent off my only daughter, in her early twenties, to a wonderful career start as a feature film cinematographer, she is assisting just the right person. i am so happy for her and she has still not left home really, will be in and out, but still now, time has opened up for me to get my act together. well, you seem much better off than me, you are quite clear what you would like to do and clearly you have the passion. which is half the job done. i am sure what you are feeling now is just cold feet before the grand entrance. wishing you a great career, usha, chennai, india
