It has been a busy and rewarding transition from my long time pharmaceutical career. Allow me to update you. I have taken this opportunity to pursue a couple dreams. I have launched a new public speaking and writing career that pertains to my ongoing new life reality. For six plus years I have adjusted to living with an incurable motor neuron disease variant. I am fortunate in that the progression of my disability is slow. During these past years I have encountered a number of new physical and psychological challenges. I discovered that my reflections had a helpful impact to others. My new business entity, Lionheart Transitions is alive and well and my initial book, Chapters – Living With an Incurable Disease has been published.Take a look at http://www.mjblion.com/ I also realized my long time ambition to teach as an adjunct professor at Park University teaching selected computer science courses.
