My year of Sabbath Living. An UNEXPECTED, but much needed adventure.
I was ready for a change. I knew it was time to move on. I thought it would be the traditional/normal “leave one job and find the next”. After resigning I helped my company plan for my replacement (I loved my job & the organization) and then started to apply for new jobs. The more I wrote cover letters, met with community members, talked with mentors, prayed and imagined what would be next for me – the more I realized this would be far from a normal transition. And one day I thought of one of my favorite songs “What would I do if I were brave?” by Jana Stanfield (link to her song). I thought long and hard… I expanded the question and asked, “If I had no fear, what would I do for at least a year?” And the answer was “take a sabbatical to travel and write”. This blog is about my journey during this remarkable leap of faith!
