Embrace ChangeEmbrace Change

Without change, there is no growthWithout change, there is no growth

Change is scary

Walking into the unknown and unfamiliar can be unsettling … but do it!!!

Embrace the changes that are happening.  

Some changes are not pleasant

You may not be able to stop them.

Remember, even unpleasant changes can eventually bear positive fruit.

Find Your CenterFind Your Center

To maintain the

balance in YOUR LIFE,

do what fits YOU to find your center.

To maintain the

balance in YOUR LIFE,

do what fits YOU to find your center.

Life a wild ride, filled with both joys and woes.  

It can be difficult to maintain your center as the chaos of life swirls around you.

You’re no good to anyone, especially yourself if you can’t keep and maintain your center.

Finding a way to keep and maintain your center is a very personal thing.  

Take the time to find your method to maintain our center.

Humor, jogging, yoga, walking, reading a book. getting a mani/pedi, playing with your pets, hanging out with your kids, lunch with a friend.

The best way to overcome fear of the unknown is to walk through the door with your eyes wide open that it might become known and no longer feared.

The “Unknown” Is Always Scarier

Than The “Known”

The “Unknown” Is Always Scarier

Than The “Known”

Don’t be afraid of the “unknown”.  Find a way to understand the circumstances of the situation… and make it a “known”.

We think we’re tough and nothing bad is going to happen

If we “think about it”, “it” we’ll jinx it

No matter the situation, it’s a difficult “Conversation” to

have

Terminal illness, old and fragile, healthy and vibrant

The alternative is far worse

Say What You Need To SaySay What You Need To Say

Never miss an opportunity to tell those you care about just how you feel. Don’t wait for an accident, illness or death . . . Say what you need to say.

My husband had many opportunities those last few weeks of his life to “say what you need to say” to his daughters, his family, his friends.

He waited until the very end to do this

He missed the opportunity with me

Don’t wait until the end

Attitude: The One Thing We Can

Attitude: The One Thing We Can

Life is 10% what happens and 90% how we react to it.

Life is 10% what happens and 90% how we react to it.

We have a choice every day regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day.  

We cannot change the inevitable.  

The only thing we can do is plan on the one thing

we have – our attitude.

  It is with YOU … we are in charge of our attitudes.

Life is the Journey NOT the

Destination

Life is the Journey NOT the

Destination

While you’re out accomplishing your own set of goals, don’t forget to look to your left and right to see who is at your side.

Be open to taking that “road less traveled”.

Sure it may take a little longer to get to your destination, but oh . . . the view could be amazing!

Always remember that your present situation is not your final destination.

The best is yet to come
