Update, October 2009:  After a month of down time and grieving over the loss of my cool job at UT, I am fully embracing this opportunity to explore.

Last week I attended a powerful Wisdom at Work lunch talk given by Steven Tomlinson titled “Critical Questions for Your Life Journey.”  He asked us all to ask harder and clearer questions of ourselves, look at what we are resisting, and determine what will move us into action.

My reaction is to ask myself when I was truly happy with my work situation. The answer was when I was independent, working projects for instructional design and tech writing, working for early stage startups,  and various volunteer teaching and writing opportunities. What is my resistance? Well, wondering where the jobs will come from. The action to take: get out there and ask.

So, please welcome Barbara Opyt to the new leg of my life journey! And, call me if you have work

Cheers,

Barbara
