You do not need a credential to speak about your experiences. The experience is the right. If you go through pain often, or if you suffered but now feel better, I have news. You are already the hub of a community waiting to happen. Your real experience is valuable. Never let someone convince you are not qualified to establish a voice and express what you wish– what you feel most deeply. We need people willing to stand taller than pure commerce and reach out to others beyond academics. Speak today about what you care about. Honesty is the credential of your voice. It will carry farther than you think.
First of all, If has been a while since I posted on CortCaldwell.com. The boss wasn’t paying me enough, so I took a long vacation. In fact, I have a number of things to report. I relocated to Vancouver 6 months ago, and finally got rigid contact lenses for my Keratoconus. I may add a blog entry about this condition and my experiences as I worked towards clear sight.
Also, I registered for Info barrel and have already published my first short article on gluten-free baking. Check it out: http://www.infobarrel.com/How_to_Bake_Gluten-Free:_Knowing_the_Basics.
