The following dose of reflective positivity comes from Suzannah Scully’s weekly newsletter.
Suzannah is a life coach and image consultant in San Francisco, and I first attended one of her Career Change workshops this past fall for the sole reason of supporting my girlfriend’s desire to start her own business. I left the workshop, however, with quite literally a fresh perspective on myself and my career, and with the idea to create this blog.
The concept and execution of The Daily Anchor may be mine, but the inspiration I owe to Suzannah. If you’re in the Bay Area I highly suggest you check out her website or her blog and set up a time to meet with her. You can also subscribe to her RSS here or follow her on Twitter here.
If you’ve been laid off, email her. If you’re working but not doing something you’re absolutely passionate about, email her. Seriously.

This Week’s Topic: Earthquake
There is so much change happening in the world right now. It feels like a major earthquake has happened and now we are all looking around and figuring out how to rebuild. Even in terms of job loss, I can’t tell you how many people I have talked to recently that have lost their jobs or are in fear of losing their jobs. I equate it to an earthquake because when even the ground beneath you is shaking, you don’t know what you can count on. Everything feels so uncertain.
But I can’t help to believe that everything happens for a reason. That there are certain decisions that we don’t make ourselves and the universe makes them for us. For example, being unhappy in a job but staying in it anyway. Wanting to get out of a relationship but staying in it because it’s comfortable and easy. There are so many decisions that we avoid making due to fear of the unknown. And then one day, the universe forces us to make a change. And that’s what it feels like is happening now. Our ground is shaking and foundations are falling. But when you take a step back and look at it from a different perspective, look at the possibilities for rebuilding. We now have a chance to recreate our realities to be anything we want them to be. It is a fresh start.
What is possible for you right now? What changes can you make? What will you do to make the most of it?
