Change we must! It is an illusion that anything can, should or does remain the same! We humans were designed for change! It saddens me to watch people clinging to ways of being, a job, a behaviour, a relationship, that sucks the life out of them. I am not talking about irresponsibility, I am talking about living, well! Congratulation ‘s for taking a risk and making a change. Embrace it!

I understand what is behind your change…you are the brand, women on the fence!!
good luck – making it through a transition always makes us stronger.

I can understand exactly what you’re going through. I recently went from using a pen name to my real name and I have to say it was the best thing I could have done. Yet I agonized about it for a week before making the change. And I finally realized it was fear causing me the agony and decided to tackle it. The most gratifying part? The day I did it I had 15 new followers. And my following continues to grow. I also feel more free to express myself as I really am. Hiding behind a pen name was limiting my normal enthusiastic personality and I didn’t even realize it! Good for you for embracing the change and sharing the lessons you learned!

I myself and not great at embracing or accepting change. It is something I work on daily. I like what I know, I like to do it again and again- it feels comfortable. The challenge is to move with the times, venture outside our comfort zones. I am a work in progress here too.

Like many, I have never been great at accepting change. However, I have always felt that knowing I have issues with change has helped me to work harder to prepare myself to adjust to it. I probably prepare more for changes coming into my life than anyone else as I know this can help me adjust… It’s the knowing change is hard that is key!

Two years ago, I faced an enormous change. I left behind my comfy suburban life to teach at an international school in Bangalore, India. I anticipated not seeing my husband for a short while. Little did I know that it would be months before I would see him again. Like Cathy I relied on the serenity prayer as well as being flexible. I feel fortunate that I had such a unique experience at a time when most middle aged women would prefer not to be challenged. My outlook on life has forever been altered.

Six years ago, I went through a lot of changes in my life and I was so overwhelmed that I did not know what to do. An angel then cross my path and told me about the Serenity prayer:

“God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference. ”

The prayer is longer but this paragraph was a revelation for me. I look at it everyday and I found that I am less reluctant to the changes in my life as I am now able to embrace them

Have a great day Erica xxx
