Change...or Opportunity?

     
Change, such a scary, exciting word!  I've been discussing "change" with different people for the past 16 years.  It started when I was a school counselor, just beginning at Canadian ISD, Canadian, TX. Karen Minyen, my principal and I would discuss how change is hard for most people.  The two of us looked forward to the possibilities of "change".

Then in 2002, my husband and I changed our residency.  We moved from the Panhandle of TX to the Hill Country of TX.  When we first started talking about it my husband had some apprehension.  I saw it as an opportunity to live in a beautiful part of the country.  I had never lived with a river running through the center of a town.  What an opportunity!

In 2007 I retired from Tivy HS as a school counselor.  It was scary, I wasn't sure I was ready, but it seemed time to go. After that "leap" I jumped into art workshops.  It's just like a dear sweet lady told me once, "you don't know what you don't know."  If I had known what I didn't know I might not have spent all that money and time on art supplies and lessons.  But, if I hadn't I wouldn't be here today!

Yes, today I said goodbye to some dear friends at K'STAR Youth and Family Service, where I have been working as a Family Specialist for the past 2 years.  What a great opportunity and experience it has been.  Thanks Chuck for talking me into it! :)

Now I have a new opportunity!  I will be sharing my love of art in as many ways as I possibly can!  I know everyone doesn't believe they are an artist.  But, from my year of experience doing Zentangles with kids and adults, I know they will create their own personal piece of art.  Not only a pleasing square of interesting shapes, but peace from the pressures of life.

Stay tuned as I put together some great Zentangle classes to help you transform your world into a less stressful approach.  Let me show you how to take the dread out of the changes in your life and reframe them into opportunity!
