Do The Next New Thing

Many of us have been there. Because of life changes—kids are grown and gone, divorce, relocation, retirement, death, health issues—we ponder what’s next and try to determine a direction for our lives. We’re often stuck—wanting to do something but not knowing what that something is.

And how do you figure it out?

When she desired a purpose, a passion, friends, and a community, Pamela Lamp devised a project for herself. She took those first few steps—steps anyone can take —to find herself and begin the journey she wished to travel.

Like a conversation with a good friend, this book is full of observations of what might just happen when you take a step back, embrace uncertainty, and let go of control.
