Yes, we’re moving—just across street. Not far at all, but it will still create a bit of chaos for a while. Like many others, I tend to avoid change. We’ve been in the same location for 13 years. Someone is buying the building and needs the space.
In April, I began my search for a new location. I had an idea of where I wanted to end up, but I wasn’t sure what would be available. In late May, I finally took action. I made contact in June, and we move the last week of August. I was lucky enough to find the very space I had my eye on—and I’m excited!
To me, the opposite of change is death. Every day we change, and that is a blessing. We take another breath, think another thought, move a foot forward—and each one changes us. I admire my boys; they handle change so well. I love to plan, but taking action requires a little more energy for me. Change helps us grow. We learn what we like and what we don’t. It can bring either a smile or a frown to my face.
On September 2, we expect to be in our new digs. This one change will bring many more. I’m looking forward to reworking our processes so they flow more gracefully. It’s time to clean out my desk and files. Time to let go of those projects that were started but never completed—and let them die. Time to start anew!
