Because I was injured by medical malpractice in 1989, I thought I couldn’t work a regular 40 hour a week job, I decided that I needed a skill that would allow me to work at home. Since I had an interest in handwriting analysis starting in the 70’s I decided to take a correspondence course. The hope was that clients would mail in their handwriting samples.

For twenty months I corresponded with the International Graphoanalysis School in Chicago. However, most people don’t know about handwriting analysis so the reality is that it is difficult to make a living at it. On the other hand, it is useful for me to understand how other people think when I introduce myself. I present my calling card to them and ask them to sign their signature on the back. Then I describe what I see in their handwriting.

Although it is not possible to make a living with handwriting analysis in Hawaii, I am glad I took the course because it is a good ice breaker skill at parties.
