My life is changing again. I didn’t start this change – or maybe I did. If for every action there is a reaction then my thoughts and dreams could have put these changes in motion. We are on our way now to a new place far away from what we have come to know as our home. Maybe not so far away given that the more we learn about this world the smaller this little planet seems. I have learned over the past several years that change not of my explicit doing, while difficult to imagine at first, is bearable and will lead to new and surprisingly wonderful experiences.
This was a difficult lesson to learn and took much practice, which is probably why I was given the lesson over and over until my attitude evolved. For you see I was determined, as most young people are, to make my own choices and set the course of my life. Growing up with what felt like no control, I was quite determined to be in complete control at all times (ha!). Thankfully I have come a long way from then to now. I do not know what tomorrow holds and it is because of the lessons I have learned that I can open up to this new reality, letting it slowly saturate my entire being. What will come next?
There are lots of possibilities. One thing is sure – next comes courage. Time to shed this skin and become something new. It has happened this way before and so it will again. When I am comfortable and safe I start to stretch, and just like the unborn child somehow sense it is time to leave the comfort of the womb of this life to explore and grow in the next. This is a woman evolving. I know I can summon the courage because I have already been through a lot. More than some but certainly less than others. I am a woman evolving and there is no wrong answer.
