Change

Change is good. That's what I keep telling myself.

I was recently asked to join another firm in the Kansas City area. After careful deliberation, my husband and I decided that I should accept the offer as we believe it will be better for our future. But leaving the firm that I am currently working at is hard for many reasons. After being there a year, I have gotten to know some really good people. But when you are leaving a job, it almost feels like you are breaking off a relationship. You feel like after seeing these people almost everyday for a year, you are never going to see them again or at least it won't be the way it use to be. But it's not suppose to be the way it use to be or change would not have occured.

The only thing that is certain in this world is change. Yet change is very scary for most people. You get comfortable in your daily routine and feel like you know what's going on. When we feel safe, we think, why change?  Only to feel awkward and scared for what is going to happen next?  To not know what we're doing and have to figure things out all over again? But in order to progress in life and make a difference, you have to step out of your comfort zone and embrace change. You have to move forward and be courageous. You have to change.

So that's what I did. I changed.
