After 30 years of doing essentially the same job, I recently woke up to the fact that I wasn't using nearly enough of my skills, talents and abilities in my life. And yes, things were certainly lacking in meaning for me. Since summer is traditionally a slow time in the design biz, I decided to make the conscious decision to take 3 months off to re-assess and listen to the desires for my future life. Well, I can tell you, that each and everyday brings me a surprise, and although I have no idea where this is heading, I know that I am on the right path. A friend of mine offered me the most wonderful mantra when I started my journey ... "Just having the courage to make the leap has created your wings." I have created a blog so that other people can follow the journey and share with me - that has turned out to be an incredible gift for everyone. Love your work Carla - those who have the chance to work with you will be very blessed. Great piece – speaks so clearly to what so many are going through – including me!

We read, reflected upon and wrote an essay in my leadership class, inspired by Whyte's Crossing The Unknown Sea, Work as A Pilgrimage of Identity - fabulous book - highly recommend it.

It resonates for me as well, both personally and also professionally, as I see so many of my clients going through similar struggles as they re-create themselves. I'm 2/3 of the way through a degree program and sometimes wonder how I'll feel when I actually achieve the degree. Elated? Or restless for the next, as yet unknown, challenge? As I approach my 50th birthday this year, I can reflect upon at least five careers I've had in the last 30 years! ....and each transition was accompanied with varying emotional states. I'm in a re-emergence now - creating a new level of personal and professional expression for my 'crone' years :) And who I am becoming has yet to be fully formed. How wonderful to continuously BEcoming... ...and how wonderful that you're raising awareness of the necessity of feeling all the stages of change. Loved this Carla.

It has not been the easiest path to take, but through strength, wisdom and a whole bunch of guts, aka courage, it is the only one I know. Thus the extreme winters and summers or shadow and light can be rather intense. Thank Goddess for conscious convergence and the new wave of Unity consciousness which is now forcing us to harmonize all dualities, whether we like it or not...all part of the Divine Plan. Carla, I would love to explore The Art of Reinvention to explore the next chapter of my life, cause I can feel its a potent one and you are such a wizard of a woman. Thanks for being so authentic!

My journey was discovering who I really was inside after all the trappings were taken away. I stumbled through on my own and am delighted that you're offering an understanding of this state to others who are groping through the darkness. Bravo.
