How we bank. How we communicate. How we save our money. How we lead and manage people. How elementary kids learn math. Season to season, everything shifts and changes.

We all have the choice to have the changes be easy and seamless…or hard as a formed diamond. Sometimes it can be both. I remember when my baby girl went off to college and I nearly died in my heart…until a long lost friend showed up that weekend and held me in his arms and let me cry hiccups and wet tears and nose onto his shirt. Hard to let go and marvelous to catch up with a long lost beloved friend.

You can’t know your reaction when it is hard, but you can choose your response for what is next for you. I promise you can choose.
