Ever get a call out of the blue that says, “I know your week is all planned, you’re feeling productive, but reality has something else in mind for you?”

Most of us can recall times like these without much trouble.

Fortunately for me, my 2022 guiding words are “Embrace the And.”

And here is my first opportunity to respond.

Despite a calendar full of client appointments, I will instead be tending to my mom back east. No need to be concerned; it’s just something that came up and my very attentive yet tired brother needs some help.

How flexible are you when it comes to embracing the and…?

For many of us, 2020 and 2021 prepared us well. This covid thing and all its variants will eventually move on. Still, something always comes to take its place – even happy stuff like an unexpected wedding, an opportunity to move to a new location, a new job, etc. because change is constant.

I have found that life is much easier when I am not so firmly planted on the ground that I cannot be light enough on my feet to meet new challenges or opportunities.

Are you entrenched in ways that keep you in a constant struggle with what is rather than what you planned?

It can be very frustrating and still manageable. I can help you stay in the flow while not getting stuck in the plan. Let’s make a date to talk.
