    Life can sometimes put a spin on changes we weren't ready for. But isn't that what change really is? 
    
                    &#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    
                    
    Change is:
    
                    &#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;ul&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;li&gt;&#xD;
        
                        
        becoming different
        
                        &#xD;
        &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;/li&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;li&gt;&#xD;
        
                        
        a transformation or modification
        
                        &#xD;
        &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;/li&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;li&gt;&#xD;
        
                        
        different from what it is
      
                      &#xD;
      &lt;/li&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/ul&gt;&#xD;
    
                    
    Change is telling you something will be different, so how will you handle it?
    
                    &#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;

    As an overcomer, I have changed through my challenges, like the seasons. At times the changes were slow, like waiting for spring to arrive after a long cold winter. Or, like the days of the week, waiting for the weekend to finally come after a stressful week. While others happened overnight. 
    
                    &#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    
                    
    Just like how leaves change in the Fall, it takes time. They start to change one leaf at a time and go from faint to a vibrant color. And, change happens at different times for different people in all different places.
    
                    &#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    
                    
    The most important part of change is on building the new; focus on the positive of where YOU want to go, who YOU want to be and what purpose YOU want to serve. Be patient with yourself and just BE YOU!
    
                    &#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    
                    
    Plant new seeds in your life by taking care of yourself first. Do one thing for YOU before you do something for someone else and watch how YOU CHANGE. 
    
                    &#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    
                    
    Start each day with a positive statement: "I AM refreshed and ready to start this AMAZING day!"
    
                    &#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    
                    
    Change questions into positive statements and watch yourself transform before your own eyes.
    
                    &#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    
                    
    Embrace change with a new perspective. Look at each change as a new beginning. A new time for YOUR LIGHT to SHINE!
    
                    &#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;b&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;i&gt;&#xD;
        
                        
                                           Pause in nature and reflect on all the positive changes in your life, it might just surprise you!
      
                      &#xD;
      &lt;/i&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/b&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
