Once again a season of change is upon us as the warmth of summer fades into the cool and color of fall. The changing seasons are a constant reminder that life is forever unfolding into new and different stages. Not only does the calendar remind us that change is on the way but the trees and the temperature as well. The changes that occur in people are not so unlike the changes in nature. The signs and indications of personal change are sometimes quite obvious to see, however making sense of those changes is another matter. It’s never easy trying to sort through and understand our own thoughts and feelings about the shifting, revolving seasons in our lives. So many of the internal changes we experience are subtle and enigmatic. Doubts and fears often times prevent us from having the courage necessary to take an honest, open look at who we are and who we are becoming.
