Changes are a comin ...

Change is the only thing that keeps us moving forward. Sadly, I don’t think we’re creatures that enjoy change. Well, I take that back. I, personally, am not one of those creatures that enjoy change. It makes me nervous. Anxious. Cranky. Emotional. I can’t sleep, and things begin to consume me. Not healthy, I know. Trust me, I’m well aware.

But, when I look back at my life, all the great things that have happened—were during a time of change. When our lives stop changing, we stop progressing. And I’m much more NOT ok with that than I am of being a bit clammy-handed for a bit.

But, when it comes to the security of my family, I am a fan of my comfort zone. We have this happy little routine together that keeps everything running smoothly. Except there’s just one problem … when you and your comfort zone are only together for one reason—the threat of change. That’s when it’s time to kick Mr. Comfort Zone to the curb. Currently, I am ninja-kicking and monster-jamming that guy out the window. Hardcore.

The best part though? I’m nervous. Anxious. A weeeeee bit cranky. And big-time emotional. But every step I seem to take in this new direction feels right. Awkward, scary, and new … but so very, very right. And hopefully, with a lot of work, and a little luck, older and wiser “me” is going to look back and thank myself for being scared— because without the scary stuff, it wouldn’t be as worth it as I know it’s going to be.
