During a respite from positive psychology research and comment, I am working on a series of blogs about my health sabbatical.
In the spring of 2007, I was forced to leave a career I loved and students and colleagues I adored. My health collapsed, and I simply couldn’t get to work anymore. My plan was work in higher education administration until I was 70, but…what’s the expression? Life happened while I was making plans.
During these seven years–and the number seven is very telling for me (I’ll share more later)–I have explored positive psychology as a path toward restoring my vitality and re-inventing my career life. My certification as a life coach is just a small chapter of this story.
Join me as I unpack the events and choices that led me here. I can promise you won’t be bored; you might even be inspired.
