New Directions for Sharlee Plett

From 1999 to 2007, Sharlee Plett worked extensively as a computer programmer, web designer and graphics artist, producing thousands of digital images, and dozens of websites.  In 2008, Sharlee took time out to review the direction she wanted to go in terms of lifestyle and career.

The next several years was a period of introspection and exploration for Sharlee, as she reviewed her several decades of experience and learning.  The question was: what direction to go in for the greatest fulfillment and success?

Travel figured prominently during the first few years, during that time she traveled throughout the interior of British Columbia, Canada, visited southern England for three months, and traveled across Canada from St. John's, Newfoundland to Victoria, British Columbia.

In 2011, Sharlee moved to Salmon Arm, B.C. and began a course of learning and self-exploration that was intensive and life-changing.  One outstanding book, full of exercises and insights was "The Artist's Way - a Spiritual Path to Higher Creativity" by Julia Cameron resulted in a whole new way of regarding life, success and personal satisfaction.

This workbook caught Sharlee's eye one day in a bookstore, with its focus on creativity, one of the great loves of her life.

Over a period of six months, she completed all of the exercises in the book with all its insights and personal transformations.

One thing became very clear to Sharlee -- the creative impulse, coupled with a love of people simply had to be the backbone of any new direction taken.

The approach taken in the book is very holistic, emphasizing as it does the importance of the whole and the interdependence of the parts.

By the beginning of 2011, Sharlee Plett decided to embark on her new direction, a holistic approach to living characterized by connection to people in caring and inspirational ways.  She sold her interests in various websites, and shut down the rest, and has since been studying in the holistic, wellness and beauty fields.

By the end of this year, Sharlee Plett will complete her training in a number of Beauty and Wellness techniques, including professional nail technician training, reflexology, aromatherapy, and wellness and life coaching.

Join Sharlee Plett on an exploration of this extraordinary journey to true fulfillment and joy in living!
