Radical change means radical risks----change in general is a constant battle with our human nature--humans bawk at change---we get into our groove and then " leave us alone" even when the groove is bad for us--the whole idea of change is far more frightening and bothersome than just "staying put" ------ yet without change we die --metaphorically and physcially, emotionally and spiritually---knowing this---you'd think we'd be hell bent on making sure change happens---yet our view of life typically says "shit happens" ----- hey--the shit is change--be it good or bad, positive or negative, joyous or painful--change brings about learning, growth and expansion of our lives--yes it can be an excuse to cop out, fake it or abuse another crutch along the way------
it is all about our attitude--- change is necessary----once we come through the change(s)--we are stronger, keener and more experiened. Why do we fear that? I believe it is simply because it is not familiar to us--prior to making changes we are on unknown territory and that fact wails on our inner sense of security--when we get inside ourselves and acceptance ourselves inside and out, we aid our mind and body with the greatest (tool/armour/ mechanism) to press forward past the fear and uncertainly knowing that no matter how challenging "change" is--on the other side it really will be okay---even better than okay sometimes----pretty cool eh? Dee philosophy for thee!
Busy me--busy you--what in the world are we to do? SLOWWWW down! I need to take my own medicine! Our first troops for New Face staff passed their certificatons on July 13th--ya hoo! Congrats to them-Peg, Angie and Corrie! No days off for three weeks---- makes for tired person-lots of exciting stuff though---expanding New Face to Plano, IL and Brookfield, and even Glen Ellen(sp?). Now you know why I have missed toodling---our next Celebrate You party is the 27th-potluck cookout at my place--- wheee---will be fun time! ---you be sure to have some fun too! Don't be a stranger ---- I will get back to toodling too! Groovy man! Lovee's- Dee
