My First Blog Attempt

I have been working with a friend and fellow traveler to set-up this blog so I can communicate with readers who are interested in examining their careers and their lives -- the two, in my view, are so intertwined it is difficult to separate them. In fact I wrote a book titled "You Are Your Career" where I muse about how I think this whole thing about career and life really works. It is available at amazon.com.
However, the purpose of this blog is to communicate directly with those of you who are interested in exploring your own life/career and who may have questions they would like to talk about. I work professionally as a career counselor, as both a college career counselor and a private practitioner, so I deal with career issues every day.
I will try to make at least one entry every week unless I hear from some of you with questions or comments, at which time I will respond in a more timely manner.
Let me end this first post by saying that I do not believe that there are magic formulas to make your career and your life outrageously successful in an instant. We are all so different. I do believe, because I have seen it work many times in my practice, there is a natural path you can find that if followed will lead to greater fulfillment in your life/career pursuits. I'll do my best to help you.
