These are all things that we have to deal with when going through a career change. What is most difficult is deciding to make the change, especially when you are good at what you do, and wonder whether you should just stick it out in an unhappy-albeit well-paid-environment instead of taking a risk and starting over doing something you love. In This Time I Dance!, Tama Kieves shares the inspiring wisdom that led her from being a successful Harvard lawyer to an even more successful writer and life coach. The best part? Shes happy with her career!
We all look for what will make us happy in life, but we dont always make the choices that we should when it comes to sustaining that happiness. Tama Kieves shows how to do just that: how to stay happy and employed doing something you love, and what it takes to stop being a stressed-out worker and make peace with your career-and, most important, with yourself. Filled with solutions to the anxieties and roadblocks you may confront on your path, This Time I Dance! is for all those who are unfulfilled at work and uncertain of the practical steps that they should follow to achieve their dreams.

listens to the music more than the reproach of the mind
and who dances as if the music were boisterous enough
for all to hearuntil of course it is.

Follow Your Love Instead of Your Fear
I started my career transition by trusting in something I couldnt prove. And now you hold that amazing proof in your hands.
For everyone who has ever told you that you want too much in life, or that its dangerous to choose with your heart, please consider this: If I had listened to others or my doubting mind, this book would have been a buried dream and an aching weight upon my soul. Because I listened to my heart, this book is in your hands and I am free.
This Time I Dance! shares the story of how I discovered my dream and found enough bare courage to choose it, over and over again, and create the passionate life that called to me. But I wanted to tell you this one story that came after I wrote this book. To date, its the coolest story of my life.
I wrote this book over a period of twelve years. I did not have a literary agent or a publisher. Of course, I did have a fifteen-pound gray cat who seemed to believe in me profoundly. But I had no contract or cachet in the real world. And every day, as if to taunt my resolve, brand-new published books on creating the work you love proliferated like dandelions after rain. So you could say I didnt have a publishing prayer.
Yet I did. I had a persistent desire to write this book and craft a life that somehow made sense to me. It wouldnt leave me alone. The truth never leaves us alone. And I sometimes found this secret reservoir of mysterious strength inside myself, a sense that I was supposed to do thisand that things would turn out all right.
Still, I couldnt exactly put my Harvard-trained lawyers mind, logical and probing, on pause for long and sprawl out in the lawn chair of trust.There were many days when analyzing turned into terrorizing and paralyzing myself. If I was confident on Wednesday, I could be chewing my hair by Thursday, dreading my now obvious future of living on cold, wet streets without enough money for retirement or a skim-milk latte. Then on Saturday, Id be lusciously inspired again, convinced I was born to write this book, born to write a hundred books, and closer to dancing in the streets than living on them. This was, and continues to be, a breath-by-breath journey of choosing to trust the safety and genius inherent in my heart.
Like many writers, I fantasized about a big New York publisher scooping me up in its muscular business arms and lifting my creative work up into the spotlight as though I were a delicate, though accomplished, ballerina. But there was no scooping going on. Instead, I harvested my share of form-letter rejection slips from agents, wishing me the best in my endeavors and slamming doors shut with elegant letterhead.
One day, weighing my situation, I scrawled in my journal: Just put it in the river. I knew this meant to just go ahead and self-publish my manuscript and get it out to readersinto the streamin any way I could. The loving side of myself saw this choice as a staunch commitment to my passion and mission. But a less positive part of me, a little freaked-out, repetitive, and grating, saw starting a publishing company as a madwomans gesture of vanity and delusionand a hideous waste of money. So I had to ask myself, again, as I did so many times on this path: Was I believing in my dreams or was I just dreaming? In the end, I decided that Id written a book about trusting the journey.That prompted me to take one last step in trusting my own.
