When I left my job at California State University, Northridge in 2006, I left behind the safe choices I had made earlier in my career. I made a bold choice to branch out and become a consultant in the non-profit world, specifically education. It was a seemingly natural transition at the time. I had contracts lined up and the path seemed clear. Then things started changing and each year since then, bad has gone to worse in terms of my timing. But when I left CSUN, it was in part to find myself again and to forge my path in this world a little more effectively. I've certainly had time to do that this year which is what brings me to finally getting the Blog going.
My year without a j-o-b has taught me a lot about myself. I've learned what I will and won't do for free. I've learned what money really means to me. I've learned my boundaries about what is a good and bad career choice considering the needs of my whole family. I've learned all sorts of things this year and now I feel like sharing. Yay for Blogs!
This blog will chronicle pieces and parts of my journey this past year. My hope is that by sharing my process with others, I can help people speed up their own progress. Change is not fun. It is not easy and it is confusing, especially in the squishy middle parts.
