Heard it on the radio
I listen to an online radio show, WMKV (http://wmkvfm.org/index_ii.html), that features big band music along with fascinating talk shows. Yesterday, Bill Jensen, author of "What is Your Life's Work?" discussed his book and what he has learned in writing it. He had alot of interesting things to say (unfortunately it was a very busy day, so I couldn't hear the entire show) and I was inspired to check out his website. He suggests posing and answering some very tough questions to help us maximize our life's journey. He also had some very interesting insights into how people find purpose in their lives. Later that day, I had what may have been a groundbreaking discussion with my boss. Coincidence? I'm not so sure!

Some very practical hints for the next step
Another good article I came across:
http://coaching-for-results.com/articles/NextStep.htm
Very interesting developments since I last posted. A company based in my city has a position open that looks to be a very good match for my skill set. This company is famous in the industry for being a values-driven organization. It has had its ups and downs, but the owner has tried very hard to stay true to what he believes.
I feel like a woman who has been married for decades, but suddenly is back on the dating scene! My resume skills are rusty, but I have been getting good advice from friends. It's one of those opportunities that I can't pass up. I'll keep you posted.

Frustration
This is a very difficult place to be. There has been alot going on in my workplace and I probably need to move on as the situation just gets more and more frustration. But I'm not yet ready to go on my own. I'm trying to figure out how to make this situation work without doing too much damage to my psyche and allowing me to get to the point of being able to make the next move. How can it be done?

Thanks, Anonymous
I want to thank whoever posted a reply to my posting about taking on a new major project and my ambivalence about it. I realized that although I often fight to make sure people on my team get what they deserve, I am less likely to fight for myself. After having an incredibly clear symbolic dream and reading "Anonymous"'s posting, I know that wherever my path takes me, I need to be more proactive about going after what I am due and valuing what I have to offer as highly as I value what other people offer.
