Inspiration: Embracing Change

Embracing Change

Accepting change is one of the most challenging aspects of being human. We get set in our ways, we get used to our daily patterns, and we sometimes rest in our common routines.  Sometimes change is gradual and may be easy to adopt. Other times, changes we may choose can take a long time to pan out, as in the case of pursuing education, changing jobs, or moving. And sometimes, as in the case with Enrique and I - change that has happened too us will seem quite sudden.  It is during these times - the unexpected change - that I pull on every resource I can find to stay focused and motivated not only to accept the change, but to embrace and be open to the new opportunities ahead.  While there is much frustration and many emotions running through our minds as we contemplate the mere fact we're being deported, deep within there is also a sense of excitement and wonder for what life may have in store for us next. Enrique calls this, "our next adventure."
