I found this quote at Hearts and Minds, a site about ending poverty. The picture comes from a Facebook post.

It’s been almost 2 months since my mom passed away. Loss of parents, loss of income, rent to pay …. When you have a lot of changes in your life, it takes a toll. I know. It doesn’t matter if the changes are good, bad or ugly…your body, mind and spirit respond.

Just to keep your mind at ease, I’m moving forward. So here are some things that will stay the same for the next year or so.

• I will continue living in my bachelor apartment, even though I can’t really afford it. Moving also creates stress and I don’t have the mental capacity to do this now. But it will come.
• I am still an Oma with blue hair. I forget that it is blue, so it surprises me when people react – but there you go.
• I love the Creator of Heaven and Earth who has given me so much in the past few months. This includes the suite that you usually have to wait two years for! I am meant to be here.
• I’m still learning to play pool
• I’m still losing weight for the last time! Thanks, Pahla B!
• I’m still working through my yarn stash (and other peoples!)

Like I said, some things have to stay the same. Too much change, too soon is not good. BUT, to be honest, time does change things. Time, however is not the solution to my situation. I am not the same as I was a few weeks ago. I am embracing new things. I am finding new resources and I’m willing to get out of my comfort zone. So here come the changes….

• I am learning about craft businesses by participating in Crochetpreneur
• I invest in things that will help me move forward.
• I am opening an on-line shop
• I am being more open about my financial situation.
• I am going outside.
• I am going to be much more political in this blog and on social media!

In short, I am changing things myself. I have been given skills and I have acquired them. I am celebrating them and using them in ways that bring me and others joy and colour!

Stay tuned…I’m on the move! “Watch me backflip!”

Have a delightful day!
