A thick and frigid, wintry haze blocked the sunrise and dampened my spirit as I drove to work this morning.<\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n
Bob Segar\u2019s, Turn the page<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/i>suddenly penetrated my yawns, sighs, and sense of dread.<\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n
I was taken back to my teenage years, to a night when two boys and two girls were doing things they shouldn\u2019t have been, and then many months later a date to see the man himself in concert.<\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n
It was my first concert that brought me home from college and I\u2019ll never forget how the crowd went wild begging Bob to sing this favorite tune.<\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n
As I listened to the lyrics this morning, I thought about how I was undergoing so many changes during that time of my life, how most of us transform during those in-between years where we\u2019re no longer a kid yet not quite an adult.<\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n
Each day we are turning the pages of our hopes, dreams, relationships, and wisdom\u2026<\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n
Sometimes that change is scary as we navigate through the dark underbrush of the unknown\u2026<\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n
Other times that change is exhilarating as we anticipate what is yet to come.<\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n
Too often we resist change, bracing against it begrudgingly, as if it were something bad or counterproductive.<\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n
It\u2019s amazing, though, how quickly we lean into the comforts of change, once we stop pushing against it.<\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n
My work with The Five Facets Philosophy<\/span><\/a> is in the midst of undergoing major changes, Journeyer!<\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n
I\u2019ve spent the past year trying to find someone to help me with some of the technical programming stuff with my website and the blog\u2026<\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n
I\u2019ve reached out to a number of designers who have never responded to my inquiry, which made change scary, frustrating, and disheartening.<\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n
That all changed last week when someone got back to me with a \u201cYes!\u201d<\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n
We\u2019re turning the pages, literally!<\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n
I\u2019ll be on hiatus for the next couple of weeks to give the developer a chance to do his work without interference.<\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n
Next time you see us we\u2019ll have a brand new look!<\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n
What about you, Journeyer, how do you approach change? Does it energize or inhibit you?<\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n
Until we meet again, yours in hope, healing, and happiness,<\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n
