“You are enough just as you are. Each emotion you feel, everything in your life, everything you do or do not do… where you are and who you are right now is enough. It is perfect.” — Anon

There is a certain amount of magic in this quote. As I read it I picture a prescription pad and the doctor is giving us permission to be exactly who we are, exactly where we are and exactly what we are at any given moment. No excuses, no embarrassment, no “fake it till you make it”. Are you sad? Be sad! Are you angry? Be angry! Are you content? Be content! Are you happy? Be happy! No more justifying what we are experiencing. Just live it! We are enough. Just as we are.

Welcome to the beginning of a journey. Adventures In Change is a lifelong dream built on my purpose of changing the world one life at a time. Some roll their eyes in doubt or chuckle at my apparent insanity but  deep within my DNA is a yearning for change. This blog “Navigating Hope” (title in progress) will be where my thoughts will spill onto the page bringing (or so goal is to bring) strength, hope, encouragement, understanding and anything else that is whirling through my chaotic mind. I pray someone out there finds connection and is fueled in their own purpose as I stumble through this path making change an adventure and bringing hope wherever I go.
