Sabbatical Chronicles
A series of events in early 2024, some in my control and others not, led me to take a sabbatical. I followed my intuition and the universe's nudges and embarked on a what I named a Magical, Tactical Semi-Sabbatical. For me it was a time to spend concerted time on my doctoral research and spend time exploring. I wanted my time to be magical to leave space for the unknown and make time for travel and connection. I wanted it to be tactical to focus on writing, something that takes me a lot of time and energy. As a small business owner, I needed it to be a semi-sabbatical because I did not fully disconnect from work, but I took on fewer projects. Before I went on sabbatical, I found consistent advice on the importance of being intentional and leaving time for the unknown. As I planned my sabbatical, I appreciated those who shared their experiences. Here are a few of my reflections, which might help you if you are considering a career break, sabbatical, or pause.
