Some Call It a Mid-life Crisis

I just call it charting a new course. This is the beginning of a new journey, but the destination is still not known. I am now 44 years old and growing weary of my career and current lifepath. Don't get me wrong, thus far, I have choosen the path I am on and my life has been wonderful. I have wife and two sons to share my love, friends and relationships that add richness to my life, and no worries about material things. Yep, in most ways, life is good.

But, it's time for a change. A change that is both radical and meaningful. I am about to change my life by changing my career. No, I'm not going to quit my job next week and try professional poker (as fun as that sounds), but I'm going to start down a path that will completely overhaul how I make a living.

For the past 22+ years I have been a social worker, nonprofit manager, and for most of that time, a director of social service organizations. Sure, it's been meaningful work. Challenging and fullfilling for many years. But now it's time for a change. Not a small turn down another path...it's time for a U Turn!

This blog will follow that journey. So buckle up, I like to take my turns fast and sharp.
