In transition...blue, blue, blue
I wrote these words/lyrics after retirement. I wasn't sure what my next steps would, could, should be. James Hollis would say I had entered the Swamplands; Bill Bridges would say the neutral zone and would say it was necessary...without the costumes/identity of work, and some relationships, I was in transition and feeling vulnerable. Time for Reflection. Who was I? What would I keep? What would I let go? I have written of this time extensively in my other blog: Pat's Journey. After much reading and writing, I decided to create opportunities for conversation and exploration....to build community as we move into the next chapter of our lives; it is not necessary to go further alone. Rekindle. New Chapter; New Life Story was born; other options have followed. Their descriptions are to be found in this blog and in the Services section of my website. A life of Active Wisdom would best frame my ventures.Reveal. As a Transitions consultant, I facilitated courses through an Eldercollege at Capilano University as well as in the larger community. Conversations have been enlightening, supportive and offered opportunities for participants to renew passion and purpose in their lives.
The time has come to ask the questions again! Stay tuned...and look for name changes, performance, and connections as, once again, I am In Transition!
