Search the Newsletter Archives

Over the years I’ve recommended many resources to help you change course. The Internet being what it is, some of the websites featured in earlier newsletters may no longer be around. If you happen to click on a “dead link,” I encourage you to do two things:

1) Take a moment to consider what it was about that particular resource that piqued your interest. It may offer a valuable clue to your calling.

2) Don’t let that be the end of your search. Instead make it your business to track down other similar resources. Information-gathering is an essential – and oftentimes exhilarating – phase in the process of changing course!
