Legacy - a gift or bequest to future generations.
Project - a planned undertaking.
Is it hubris to think about a legacy career and lifestyle at 53? I'm not rich, famous, connected or particularly gifted. I am willing to embrace change. Transformational paradigms require old habits and structures to be broken apart and rebirthed into new patterns of thought, behavior and creativity.
In my not so distant career past, centered in health care and education service delivery systems, most of the goals and quality assurance of the job were created top down. Creative ways of solving problems were almost subversive and daring in application, due to the rigid nuts and bolts of the different job description.
My lifestyle was also overly structured and stale. Living 30 years in The Big Apple - New York City, will do that to you. The constant stress of the daily commute, climbing up the career ladder and squeezing in family time left little for spiritual renewal or creative play.
Today, this very minute, I embrace the act of change. I'm in revolution - standing up and turning myself around and embracing the dance within the larger community of Toronto.
