Winds of Change

Lately, we have been experiencing some serious storms in the area. Rain, thunder and lightning galore. It's part of the summer season on the East Coast. It can be pretty scary sometimes to watch and hear the intensity of nature's wrath.  The change in the weather,  also reminds us that life itself can be scary whenever we are faced with turbulence.   Whether it be a change in jobs, finances, health or relationships, you can't avoid change!  It's inevitable.  The problem is that we often fight change because we are creatures of habit.  Even when things or relationships stop working for us, we often stay in the situation because we are afraid of dealing with new situations, new people, strange environments, etc.  It's natural to resist change, especially if the change brings on pain and suffering.  However, we also have to learn to "ride the winds of change." It's a  challenge. But if we don't challenge ourselves, we don't change! That's not a good thing. So here's to bringing it on and hopefully changing for the better! xoxo 

Rainbows and More

Weather-wise it's definitely been a challenging season in the New York area these last few weeks.  It's been raining, and storming more than it should.  Occasionally, the sun will make its appearance but doesn't seem to want to stay out too long. That's definitely a bummer.  On the bright side, we have had the special treat of seeing several incredible rainbows in the sky.  One on June 3rd and one on June 7th.  Both have been double ones!  Like many others, I feel like a kid when I see the rainbows. It's just such a beautiful sight. It's also a wonderful reminder that despite the storms in our own lives, despite the challenges we face,  "Somewhere over the Rainbow," is hope of something better!  We have to keep hopeful so that we can move forward in our lives, knowing that "the dreams that you dare to dream, really do come true. " 


Here's to rainbows and dreams...if you believe...it can be.
