Dear Creators,

Sometimes change happens so gradually we hardly notice it, like with seasons, shifting little by little. Today, longing for a sign of spring I did hear the wi-cheer call of a cardinal. Encouraging!

Sometimes change is abrupt. It can turn things upside down, especially if it was unexpected. It can be unsettling, maybe exciting, a chance to learn, to create something new, possibly mixed with some sadness for how things were.

Sometimes change is on the horizon. We know it’s coming though the details can be fuzzy when it seems so far away. This kind of change allows us the opportunity to prepare, plan, consider what we want.

One thing we know for sure is that change will happen. Expected or unexpected, we face new challenges, say good-bye to people, places, adjust to and greet the new and different experiences and people.

There are some life stages we can anticipate. Seeing these transitions ahead of time allows us the time to do some work to prepare and make conscious choices. These are times of opportunity, when we can chart a course, use what we have learned, be smart about what we want to focus on, where to put our energy and resources. Helping people navigate change as they move into the next stage of their life is what I want to focus on as a coach. You may have noticed that the heading of the message is My Next Stage Coach. I am changing my blog and web site to this new name (the web site remains a work in process, but check in when you have a chance). I will continue the weekly messages and I hope you continue to read them.

This week consider your perspective around change. What life stage are you in? What is on your horizon?
