Finding yourself thrown into changes? Business changes? Life changes? Not feeling comfortable? Wondering how you even got here in the first place?

Stop for just a moment: Enjoy... listen... wonder... experience... play... read... hear who you really are. Then, and only then, pursue your next step. For it is in the playing and the wondering and the listening that we find the US we buried under duties and obligations and chores and leadership and parenthood and the "I shoulds" of life. Whew -- don't you feel better already?

Once you have embraced the change -- look at you -- you're free and unencumbered. The world awaits you -- the real you! Remember her? Remember him? Remember your hopes, your dreams, your aspirations? Of course you're a bit frightened -- perhaps a little terrified. Change does that to a person. But isn't change also exhilarating? Isn't this feeling better than the frustration or, worse, the numbness that complacency brings?

Embrace change -- fall in love with change -- here are some steps to help you:

    1. Acknowledge that change is happening
    2. Wallow and whine (if necessary) no more than 5 days
    3. Accept the change – embrace the emotions
    4. Listen and follow your intuition, your self direction
    5. Take a peek in every open door and window – you never
        know what might await you.

Above all -- remember that we only go around once so enjoy the ride!
