So if you’ve happened to hear my rock climbing story, there is a decent chance you’ve seen my 8th grade yearbook and the photo of me playing volleyball. I always highlight the volleyball picture. I don’t do the same with the cover.
I happened to be a co-editor-in-chief back in the day and was part of the decision on our theme: No Small Change. We picked the theme because our school had undergone several big changes that summer–new teachers, new desks, even some new paint. In the eyes of a middle school student, these were big and we made change a big part of that theme.
I was in the middle of telling that story a few weeks ago, and it hit me–I’ve been in the middle a similar period in my life.
In the past two years I sold my house, moved to San Diego, moved my business, helped plan a wedding and a honeymoon, got married, redesigned my website (with definite help), and became more involved with my professional organization. I’ve been busy. I’ve been in a continual state of change–none of it small, and I often felt like I wanted to complete it before I posted the next blog or video.
So I’ve waited.
As I’ve tried to start a healthier lifestyle and take on new challenges…
….I’ve waited.
But life is a continual state of change and progress. Ideally, we’re never done.
Yes, there are bigger times of change, but all change–even those big ones–begin with a series of smaller actions.
So if you’ve stopped on those New Year’s Resolutions already because the change wasn’t big enough?
Start again.
If you’ve stumbled with a recent goal.
Start again.
Let’s get on the journey together.
The blog is back. I’ll be posting A LOT more.
I won’t be perfect, but I promise to be authentic.
Big change or small change, I’m going to be on that journey.
I hope you’ll join me on it.
