April Showers Bring May Flowers

Repeat after me:

CHANGE. IS. GOOD.

Spring is a beautiful season for SO many reasons - the birds are singing, the flowers are blooming and the puffy jackets can be packed up & put away until next Winter (Hallelujah!).

These things make me so, so, so happy. These changes make me so, so, so happy.

Change has always been a really scary word for me. I like when things become routine, comfortable and safe. Like that safety you feel when there are no surprises or hurdles to jump over - you know, just smooth sailing ahead! But that not life is it? Nope, life is constantly throwing curve balls or sliders our way and just waiting for our reaction. Will we swing & hit it out of the park or will we miss our chance at a grand slam? I like to think of our safety nets as missed chances to hit one out of the park. Our safety nets don’t push us out of our comfort zones to become the best versions of ourselves. They don’t encourage us to push past limits or take leaps of faith to follow our dreams. They don’t push us to greatness.

But change does.

Changing our perspective by actively stepping onto a path of unknown strengthens us to the core. Somewhere in each of us is a small voice telling us we can do it. We can run the marathon we always thought we couldn’t. We can quite the job to start up that business you’ve been dreaming of for the last five years and finally go for it. We can go back to school and get our masters in a subject that lights our soul on fire. We can start over, no matter what the starting line looks like.

You can do this, you can do anything. Never, ever forget that friends.

Let this May’s flowers bring the buds of change to your life & give you constant reminders that you’re on the way to greatness!

XO, Nicole
