Accepting large-scale change into our lives is often a challenging and disheartening process.  When our world falls apart, all of our hopes and dreams seem to crumble along with it.   As we crash head-on into these unforeseen changes, we spiral downward blindly into the vast unknown, breaking into bits, before we have the strength and the courage to rally forward once again.

So many of us, at this point in time, are facing major, sometimes catastrophic change.   But is this a bad thing?  Maybe not.  You see, beneath the facade of a crumbling world, there is a grand opportunity to recreate your life in a way that serves you, supports you and honors you.   You are completely in charge of your destiny and your happiness.  And life, in all its seeming mystery, will lead you to the doorway of fulfillment, consciously or unconsciously, whatever you choose.

Embrace the grace of change, not as a punishment or a random act, not because you think you did something wrong, but as a moment of opportunity to recreate, a moment to re-choose happiness, the kind of happiness that serves you and that honors you. If you choose consciously, respecting and honoring all that you are, you choose happiness naturally and easily. Truly, this process of change and challenge is a beautiful unfolding, a great unfolding into your true essence and deepest happiness.
