Welcome to the Changing Course Newsletter archives – all
told, over 500 pages of information and information to
help you find your life mission and live it. Changing
Course began in 1996 as a hard copy, subscriber
newsletter that ran until December 2000. To make it more
accessible to a wider audience, I launched Changing
Course as a free online e-newsletter.
Now over a decade and nearly 200 issues later, it's still incredibly
satisfying for me to hear from both my long-time
subscribers as well as my new subscribers how much the
newsletter has helped inspire them on work at what they
love.
As you browse the archives, keep in mind that 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 peaked 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!
