About Change

   Change is very difficult because we get used to a routine. Sometimes you are not prepared to try new things. Change can feel like climbing a mountain. Change can be hard because I have to face my fears.  Sometimes it’s hard to figure out what I want my future to be like. Sometimes I have to push forward so hard to figure out who I really am. It’s like a puzzle with so many different pieces. To figure out all the shapes and sizes is not easy. It’s hard to deal with the feelings of change sometimes.

   But change is an adventure. Facing challenges can be the way to make your dreams come true. When I look back on changes and back on who I was, I see that something inside me grew and changed into a beautiful flower. It bloomed like a rose. It was like I opened a surprise box and when I unwrapped it the real me popped out. It was like my twin self. I rose up with excitement and said this is courage. 

   Courage is to keep things growing and changing. The real me says I am willing to keep my courage and face change with love, peace and happiness ~ with angels supporting me all the way. I try to think positive and always accept the encouragement and comfort of my family, fans and special friends (they know who they are). I love being the real true me. 

   How do you face change in your life?  Please share and comment on this blog. Thank you everyone for reading my blog and sharing it with your friends too.

Love,

Cynthia

Welcome to my new blog! This is exciting because I love to write! My first post is about My Circle of Life. I hope that you like it and will share it with your friends and family

When I moved from a supported living community to my own apartment, I had many struggles to get myself where I am now. I had to face my fears of living on my own. Part of me thought that I wasn’t ready but I had to try a new way to keep me learning and inspired and to lift my spirit. To keep myself positive, I focused on the positives. I faced my fears and now I am able to be more of myself.  And it was better than I thought it might be. I kept some of my old connections to friends and added some new connections.  I still have my important friends and I have new friends now too, like a new community that I am an important part of. I still work for the bookshop that sells my books and cards where I still learn new things. Sometimes facing the challenges of new things is hard for me, but I have been learning to use positive thinking methods to achieve my goals. The important thing is that I am willing to keep myself growing and growing and to keep myself happy inside and out. I am still learning more and more about myself. Being in the Kiwanis club where I live is helping me to be a good member of my community and to reach out to help othere. Being in Special Olympics has taught me how to be a good team player. My new life is like almost like a basketball team, where there is lots of support. I am creating a life the way I want it to be….a new circle of life.
