- Wed Aug 31, 2005 11:40 am #98 I took the Legacy Training because I wanted clarity about what I was going to do in my life now that my three children were getting older and I had been several years at home with them. I wasn't really sure how the trainings would get me there, but my friend recommended them so highly, and if they delivered what was promise, the cost was a bargain, why not?  Its laughable now to think that that was all I was seeking, when I think about how much I have received from the workshops in all areas of my life!  While I was usually happy before, I always felt that this was mostly luck and was wholly contingent on circumstances outside of myself. In the trainings I discovered that I had tools that I could use to create my own happiness, even when, and especially when things weren't going my way. I've learned how to relate to my children better, and my husband and I are closer than I ever thought imaginable (and we were happy before!)   Moreover, I'm excited about the future in a way I haven't been since I was a child.   It sounds crazy that a set of workshops could do this, but my experience of life, others, and myself is so much richer than I thought possible. As a result, I'm more productive, successful in my projects, have more satisfying relationships, and I enjoy almost everything I do much more than before. 

Regarding my career, after completing the Leadership Program I knew that I could give voice to my experience and make a bigger difference in the world for others.  I had an MS in environmental science, but I decided that I could make more of an impact working directly with people.  I applied to and was admitted to Divinity School shortly thereafter. My first sermon is this Sunday!
