CHANGE






MY NEW ART
Dedicated to all of my close friends that have been thrown into change.


I've been so busy for months that I honestly forgot my password to blog!


I've missed my glitter sister connection with all of the wonderful ideas and inspiration. You might say I'm in a transition of change myself.



It's not always a comfortable experience. It's so easy to stay safely inside the box. FEAR can keep you within boundaries. Try to think about this;



Even if you are on the right track, you'll get run over if you just sit there!



Change is a given for everyone, like it or not. If you know a change is coming, try to get ready for it and be open to accept. It may feel "ouchey" in your mind or on your heart but just do it! Talk it over with your heart and get ready for bigger and better.
ALWAYS PAY ATTENTION TO YOUR HEART
AND YOU'LL NEVER HAVE REGRETS!
I HAVE MADE A LOT OF MISTAKES
BUT I HAVE NO REGRETS.


I believe that someday it will all make sense!



I'm sure there are a lot of dead water beetles at the bottom of the pond that were too scared to CHANGE!



The Dragonfly
Once, in a little pond, in the muddy water under the lily pads,there lived a little water beetle in a community of waterbeetles. They lived a simple and comfortable life in the pond with few disturbances and interruptions. Once in a while, sadness would come to the community when one of their fellow beetles would climb the stem of a lily pad and would never be seen again. They knew when this happened; their friend was dead, gone forever.Then, one day, one little water beetle felt an irresistible urgeto climb up that stem. However, he was determined that he would not leave forever. He would come back and tell his friends what he had found at the top.When he reached the top and climbed out of the water onto the surface of the lily pad, he was so tired, and the sun felt so warm, that he decided he must take a nap. As he slept, his body changed and when he woke up, he had turned into a beautiful blue-tailed dragonfly with broad wings and a slender body designed for flying.So, fly he did! And, as he soared he saw the beauty of a whole new world and a far superior way of life to what he had never known existed.Then he remembered his beetle friends and how they were thinking by now he was dead. He wanted to go back to tell them, and explain to them that he was now more alive than he had ever been before. His life had been fulfilled rather than ended. But, his new body would not go down into the water. He could not get back to tell his friends the good news. Then he understood that their time would come, when they, too, would know what he now knew. So, he raised his wings and flew off into his joyous new life!
