Life is change. I know that some of us hate that idea, but the thing is we change every minute of every day. You change clothes, your mind, lanes, lunch and everything else. Even when you don’t think you are changing you are. We are shedding skin and growing (metaphysically and physically) every second.
The other night when I got the call from my stepbrother I can honestly say that my first thought was one of “why now?” Then after reassuring my mother that there was nothing to worry about, because she was going right down that path of freak out I realized that it would all workout. I don’t have to magically fix this. My father is competent. He may not have any money to speak of, but he has his mind.
I realize that part of my balking last was that I got hit with change. Morning brought acceptance after a couple of hours of meditation and prayer the night before. That is another example of change. Before I would have been in such a state and it would have produced nothing. Now I can take a step back, assess the situation (okay after a quick spin in the land of freak-out), and then realize that it will work out. I may not know exactly how, but there are options. It doesn’t have to mean being fleeced by my stepsiblings.
Today’s project is to accept change. It is a fact of life. You can throw your head back and scream at the universe that you don’t want it, but it won’t stop. So acknowledge that life is change. Give yourself some breathing room with that decision and then move on.
Peace and blessings.

That I do know T. I smile when I think of it!
I think that so often we go into ‘rescue’ mode instead of taking a step back into meditation, quietness and prayer to seek balance. good for you.
I totally agree my friend! Peace and blessings.
