== Love Notes ==

Hey lovelies. It's Wednesday here which means we're half way through the week. I hope it's treated you kindly. We could all use a little extra kindness these days. I'm not sure the following statements are going to make much sense, so apologies if not. 

Tonight I wanted to mention a few things about changes. Sometimes change is something we can predict, and sometimes it hits us without warning. 

Sometimes change makes things better for us and sometimes it can make things worse. 

Sometimes change is the hardest thing in the world to do, and yet somehow the most important.

Change could be anything, a change in routine, in friends, in location,  in attitude, in jobs,  in weather,  in boundaries-- it can be so very many things.  Sometimes, the places we are, the people we're with, the jobs we have, the patterns we practice just aren't going to suit us forever. We as human beings are ever changing, ever evolving, ever moving. Situations and life styles we may have embraced previously may no longer serve us, and you know what? 

That's okay.

Chang is part of the fun and wonder of life. Every day we learn new things about ourselves, and in doing so we evolve. This is a good thing, lovelies, you dont have to hate or love the things that came before or the things that come after-- you can look at where you are, where you want to be and where you've been and appreciate what came with those changes. Maybe you were in a terrible situation before, and now you're only in a mildly better one.

Maybe you're worse off than before, but because of that you know exactly what you need/want to become. 

Change can be a scary, unpredictable catalyst, but it can also be a very important tool that helps us reach the places we want to go. Sometimes changes take us back rather than forward, and sometimes they jump us ahead eons. Both are valid, and both are part of this life, and experiences we need to have.

Don't be afraid of change lovelies, there's always more around the corner. It'll work itself out-- I know it will, because I know you're strong enough to brave it.

You are so very wonderful and lovely the way you are, and you'll be wonderful and lovely when you're something new. Don't forget that.

Rest up, new day tomorrow as always. I'm so glad you're still here with us.
