Blown Away March 21, 2008

It sure is windy out there.  The wind has been whipping for days now.  It wakes me up at night and leaves me lying in bed just a bit more rattled than necessary.  A nice, warm breeze on a summer’s day is great, but this is the kind of fierce blowing that makes you pull the covers up over your head just in case.  

Is this the “weather” of transformation?  It’s interesting that all this wind is blowing just as spring (new beginnings) arrives.  I know that I am not the only one who is dealing with the winds of change, so to speak.  Several of my close friends are also fighting through the gales as well.  It seems that as I try to move forward with my new ideas or projects (or careers) I am being smacked in the face and pushed back with all of my doubts and worries.  Trying to not be blown away by my fears, I have to keep reminding myself that there has been no hurricane or tornado warning…..it’s just wind.  It may not be pleasant and may leave us all feeling a little discombobulated, but we can get through it unharmed.   I suppose now is not the time to worry about how our hair looks….let’s just close our eyes and lean headstrong into our futures.

Or…………..I suppose we could always open our wings?……
