Thank you for the kind wishes, and for you and yours as well!
As for the divination, of course, it's good practice. I'd propose for yours asking "What does Borealbear most need to understand about committing to the study program he is considering?" with the spread "'Setting' (what's going on around you relevant to the question), 'Work' (actually doing the work of the program), and 'Outcome(s)' (what is most likely to come about if you do, in fact, do the program)."
I'm planning on trying to get to a bunch of readings today, but if not, certainly in the next couple of days.
Oh, and as for doing it yourself, I'd say it's good to develop some confidence, but also, you'll likely want to offer something like this (or do a reading for a friend or something, whatever's a good baby step past personal readings) sooner than you might feel comfortable. I was pleasantly surprised how helpful some folks found some of my first readings for strangers, and it helped to deepen my intuitive feel for the Runes and the Ogham as well.
