From birth, we encounter transitions that change the textures of our lives. Examples include transitions throughout our childhood, adolescence, and adulthood with regard to education, physical and mental maturation. Identifying our skills, interests, and passions will guide us into career choices, marriage and family choices and challenges that we confront as we age.

The Safe Harbor Blog Space strives to provide a forum for discussions concerning the processes and the effects of moving through life’s transitions. Transitions can be daunting or exciting. When life transitions are encountered, we find that we often have little or no experience with defining and traveling along the transition pathway.
