Freedom to create anew...

Post retirement..I wrote. A torrent of words emerged: reflections of my life to date, wondering what could be next, recognition of the patterns of my life and a dawning awareness of the power these patterns had  exerted on my journey. Without the scaffolding of circumstance, I questioned everything. The preferred forms were poetry and short essays. Examples of these pieces can be found in another part of my website.
Other compositions were lyrics..sets of lyrics. The focus of these responses to change is transition and different ways I experienced it. I loved these songs..but no melodies appeared until I met Cate who has helped me to explore musical possibilities. My inner performer cheers as I sing my stories; I am composing tales that will blend with these songs to explore change and my response to it. A one-woman show is in the offing...certainly, I want to share my experiences with all fellow travelers living through transitions and seeking a life of active wisdom. Stay tuned.

Then there's an idea for a book.....

Between my head and my heart....

The best laid plans...
You know, when you think you have covered every possibility: created content that would support people through transitions and beyond,found the perfect venue, selected dates that would allow for intensity and reflection, marketed the series online, in print and word of mouth...and yet, the series described in the last two blogposts did not happen: somewhere between head and heart....Enid and I have learned much through this adventure.  BTW, we have a series framework awaiting another possibility...hello out there!

The experience has reaffirmed my passion for living well in grace and gratitude. I do not want to go further alone and will continue to offer opportunities for  focused conversations through  transition periods of life and to create contexts for others to reflect on their lives and renew their passion for a life of active wisdom. To that end, I have been revising the content of my website...like the new photo? The posters in the Workshop section have also been revised to illustrate my focus on transitions. Closer to the authentic me: head and heart!

Then, there's my music! More about that in my next blog..definitely heart...
