Change

As I sit and reflect on 2016, many words come to mind, however, one word sticks out above the rest: CHANGE. This word may make some of us cringe just a little. (Am I right?) There are times when we welcome change and actually look forward to it and then there are times that change is not anticipated, not welcomed and unwanted. These can many a time feel and seem daunting or intimidating, after all, we like our COMFORT…and sometimes change can be anything but comforting. However, I have learned that our lives patterns are remodeled as we go through change, as if our thumbprints are redesigned as we never remain the same after change and that in order to continue to grow into our full potential, CHANGE is essential.  

As a professional, I have seen my business flourish (grow up) due to necessary changes year after year. From a dream, to a prayer, to a creative thriving business. Sometimes scary, mostly difficult, and in some cases even unwelcomed but always, always for the better when all was said and done.

On a more personal note, this year I have gone through lots of changes, one of the them the greatest ever…I have been blessed with my first granddaughter, Olivia Grace! Wow, how something so small can make such a huge difference in our lives! Again, my life is SO much better now that I have this cute lil sidekick! 

Won’t you join me as we take a reflective look back at how far we have come and all the changes we have faced throughout. I pray that we may realize that we are ever-growing and that we may look forward to the rest of this beautiful story called LIFE without fear! May it be with great anticipation that we ring in our New Year and know that no matter what changes are in store for 2017, in the end, we are blessed beyond measure! 

Wishing many beautiful changes for you and a happy New Year!
