Moving again…
I always wanted to go back home to settle down and to take proper care of my business. Many people will wish to me in my shoes, travelling around the world meeting new people and learning new cultures. I have imagined how I was going to feel when the time comes; I have acquired knowledge in the line of business I dreamt of owning. Plans are written, contacts have been made, and equipments have been bought. Without notice the time approached like a raging wild fire in the dry season .For the fact that I have always anticipated this period one would expect me to receive the sudden news with joy was not the case. My first reaction was; why are they driving us away, panic! That fear of the unknown, am I ready for a change now? We all react to change in our own different ways, the fear of uprooting my kids from their schools and friends. I feel this way more because am not going back to where I used to know but to a completely new state. Everything is going to be on a clean slate, I ponder will they welcome the change that am bringing with me? Can I trust anyone there to share the same burning passion that I have for my work, in order to achieve my life long dreams? How long are we going to be there, will it be long enough for my business to start up? Will my in-laws be coming to my house unannounced? Will relations start stressing my husband out? I am just happy that I wouldn’t have much to pack this time,because I didn’t buy much which very unsual.
How do you handle change in your life?

some change is inevitable; some change can be avoided…
in every change there’s this attendant adrenalin building up for or against change…
there’s that excitement and anxiety all mixed up like some concocted cocktail.
if i can change whatever imminent change- i shall; if i can’t, rather expect the change with trepidation, i build up new ways to adjusting…which requires adequate mental and physical preparation.
one’s got to be the boyscout: be prepared!
Thank you for your encouraging words.
