foreword by Max Gimblett

I felt very honoured to receive this very humbling foreword from fellow artist and dear friend Max Gimblett today. I hope many fellow mid-lifers will take heart from his sages words of encouragement embedded below.

Of significance: "Persevere with your mid-life, bring into consciousness your childhood dreams, as they will become your living realities":

Here is the foreword for "Happy@work:job hunting for mid-lifers+"
in its entirety:

"Mid-life is a crucial point in the life cycle. Childhood, the warrior, and
power decades are past. Mid-life is an invitation to resolve the complexes
not yet made conscious and move forward into the so happy years of
creativity and health, of full abundance.

Guides are necessary throughout mid-life, this book is a guide. Teachers to
face and touch are guides. Mid-life will not be rushed. Everybody
experiences mid-life. It is a sacred journey, a sacred path, the Way.

I know Cassandra as a fellow spirit and friend. She was with me on the
island of Maui participating in my sumi ink workshops. I have experienced
with her some of her mid-life passages. I trust her, respect her, and
understand that her book is invaluable.

I urge you to utilize this book as an inspirational tool and carry it as a
treasure. Persevere with your mid-life, bring into consciousness your
childhood dreams, as they will become your living realities."
