A Note to Our Members…
During the first few months after I left my career of 18 years,
I learned the harsh reality that I had not planned well for the
" next steps." My path was not clear, my purpose unsettled. There
was no place to get the honest help I needed to make the transition.
I knew what I did not want to do again, but I didn't have a clue
what I wanted to do.
Staying busy, filling the days with a purpose, is essential. Not
rushing into the first opportunity is also important. Stay active,
stay involved, but allow yourself time to mentally and emotionally
separate from your past job.
I always dreamed of writing a novel, so I began one. I also grew
the finest vegetable garden the soil would allow and I taught at
a local University. I had many lists of things I wanted to do. Once
I realized that my career change was a blessing, I began to pursue
what I felt passionate about doing. If I hadn't allowed myself time
to get through this process, CareerFables would not exist today.
Use this time for you. Wasting it would be a shame. You've earned
it.
