I am still at the very beginning stages, and often question if what I&amp;rsquo;m doing will lead to anything meaningful as a career being that I&amp;rsquo;ve started so late in the game. &amp;nbsp;However, I guess what is really the most important thing to hold onto is just to stay true to the reasons I embarked on this new path in the first place - because I love learning about the world of wine and sharing that world with others. &amp;nbsp;I can see from your story, that you have the same kind of motivation and that is so helpful for people like me to know. &amp;nbsp;Thank you!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img src="https://stage.guildsomm.com/aggbug?PostID=16694&amp;AppID=1723&amp;AppType=Weblog&amp;ContentType=0" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Lessons Learned on the Road to Mastery: Recollections of a Master of Wine</title><link>https://stage.guildsomm.com/public_content/features/articles/b/mary-margaret-mccamic/posts/master-of-wine-journey</link><pubDate>Fri, 06 Apr 2018 14:41:58 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8277e151-5ba9-4335-93f0-6f497ffb8dc4:3aa51331-f317-4748-b425-aeccff05eed9</guid><dc:creator>user2361</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><description>&lt;p&gt;Well written and inspirational.
