(Turn and face the strain)
Ch-ch-Changes
Don’t want to be a richer man
Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes

Just gonna have to be a different man
Time may change me
But I can’t trace time
-David Bowie

Happy Spring everyone…the vernal equinox has happened followed by a full moon tonight…it is a powerful time! Spring is here and the seasons are changing…what an amazing time for growth! It is no coincidence that everything seems to flourish in the springtime-people, animals and plants & flowers come out of hibernation, the skies open up and nourishing rain pours down to sustain all life on the planet, the weather is warmer, the air is lighter and the colors are brighter.

It is a well know fact the nothing is permanent in this life….babies are born, loved ones die, our relationships evolve and either grow or disappear…fortunes are won and lost….natural disasters occur that devastate entire populations and then communities rebuild and develop….the only thing that any of us can ever count on is CHANGE! Spiritual leaders and great sages talk about it- we hear about it constantly in literature and music – media channels are flooded with it- talk of change- CHANGE is the only CONSTANT in life, and therefore the only thing we can truly count on!

Often times, along with change and growth comes great difficulty and work. Change is always for the better- regardless of your ability to see it at the time. Unfortunately, it often is accompanied by unpleasant and sometimes devastating feelings- pain, suffering, anxiety, stress, potential freak outs…yes we have all been there and often still go there. Regardless of the difficulties- change is glorious! You will most definitely look back and be grateful for what you have learned in your difficult times and that the changes you take on in your life have certainly led you to grow and become more conscious and aware…embrace it…it may be a bumpy ride for awhile but the smooth sailing on the other side is incredibly glamorous! The best part is during the sailing…you have an opportunity to experience so much joy and happiness…isn’t that fantastic?
