Things are changing just by virtue of time passing because I have set up the agents of change and daily they progress. Don’t know where I will end up in the next couple of weeks, but I do know I won’t be here. I’m moving inexorably forward and it’s exhilarating and painful. Sometimes my heart feels like it’s ripping in two, and I want to roll my decisions back instead of closing up the sanctuary of my past. But I can’t. It’s time to shed my skin, and the future is calling.
The hard shell of the past is hard to shed…especially when you’re moving into the soft skin of the future…but the past can become and anchor that never releases you to sail forward.

Will we ever not have growing pains? I guess I hope not. Em

Sigh… to change is to know you are living I guess.

My Aunt Yvonne used to say, “If you look backward, that’s the way you’ll go.” Some wisdom in that, though the past is our foundation. Still, we do carry our values forward … Best wishes for best outcomes.
