Turns out I have a knack for flying. Who knew?

I’m a mid-life, mid-career woman with an exciting new mindset that allowed me to create an exciting new life! After working for nearly thirty years in the nonprofit realm, I realized that my life was getting away from me; “zoom, zoom” as the zippy little car commercial used to say. I was too spent at the end of each long workday to make time, or have energy, for anything else that mattered to me. I even began to forget what else mattered. This was not acceptable!

I caught a glimpse of myself reflected in friends and colleagues who were just “tying a knot and holding on” to their jobs and careers, to make it through until retirement. I decided that wasn’t the solution for me. There wasn’t enough joy and adventure in becoming so grim…so embattled…so… rope-burned. So I started my rope swinging instead, got a new sense of the possibilities, and finally took my FLYING LEAP!

Douglas Adams (The Hitchhiker’s Guide To The Galaxy) said this: “There is…a knack to flying. The knack lies in learning to throw yourself at the ground and miss.” I love that. More importantly, I now live that! I can show you how I did it, and more importantly, I can show you how you can do it too!
