About Me

The answer would be in my experience with extraordinary transitions, transitions where my life, and now, the lives of my clients, are changing rapidly.

Although, it may not seem like an orderly process, change does have some benchmarks, and when you know the road map, the process is manageable.

My wife and I, Julie Logan, have created a business partnership, Logan Family Counseling, and we have our first year behind us. I am the father to Shane, 8 years old, and Noisy Hannah Marie, 2 years old, so I got a very late start at the family game. Talk about your transitions.

I am a mid-life career changer, moving into the professional side of human growth and counseling about 10 years ago.

That is also when I began to think about my own retirement, and decided to develop professional credentials that would afford me satisfaction and income for as long as I wanted.

I believe deeply in the process of change, having worked long and hard on myself. I know that change from the most entrenched position or addiction can happen, because I have done it.

I have also seen folks who refused to answer the call to change who have died as a result, from street or family violence, disease, addiction, suicide.

The most profound change for me began with my introduction to the 11th step of AA, which is the direction for daily prayer and meditation.

My process of positive change began there, and continues today, and I see retirement as just another stage of change to manage.

I want to remain healthy, so I take care of physical, emotional, and spiritual health, I am building financial health, and might just be building straw bale houses or rammed earth houses before too long. Or maybe I will be studying my Chi Gong full time.

At any rate, my last high school graduation will be at 74.

Can't wait. Mike
