This unofficial motto of the US Marine Corps is an abbreviation for the Mandarin Gongye Hezhoushe, or industrial cooperative. The term was used in China, starting in 1938, to refer to small, industrial operations that were being established in rural China to replace the industrial centers that had been captured by the Japanese. The phrase was clipped to the initial characters of the two words, gung ho (or gung he, as it would be transliterated today), which means "work together." This clipping became a slogan for the industrial cooperative movement

Oh, I didn't know it was you who left the first message. You didn't leave your traditional smiley face.
Yes, I know about the whole being ready thing - seems like everyone says that. I think those words are more appropriate for my husband than they are for me. Personally I'm trying my hardest not to want to rush things with everything in my life it seems. The fact that I want to frustrates me more than anything else. Like I said in my post - just got to learn to let gooooooo....

oops, yeah... I forgot, that comes with getting old. ;o) I meant 31 lol YOu have lots of time before you catch up to me. :o) don't rush life Tree. I did that once and it nearly got me into a very bad situation. Enjoy not having the whole resposibility gig. money is far from everything and life is much more fun with the ability to fly by the seat of your pants. In a way I miss that more than anything. no ties but the ones you love. LIVE these days my friend. :o)

we have massage therapists who establish clientel by linking themself with an already established buisnes like a beauty salon for awhile then move into there own "wellness center"

Good tip. =) I'm thinking that's probably what I'll end up doing. That and working outside of massage therapy at our place of residence to establish relationships to gain contacts. That's been the best thing for me so far - referrals go a long way.
