Reflections

So I'm on my way to the All Staff Day and awards for the ministry I work for (yes I am one of those dreaded government workers). It's been about a year since the last one and that begs some self reflection.

A random thought has the ability to change your life - I now have proof positive on this. I had one such a moment and thanks to the encouragement and constant admonitions to 'JUST BREATHE' by some good friends I've accomplished some pretty amazing things.

Cryptic, no?

I work in a field where change is slow to come and is often highly resisted. I may not be rabidly opposed to change but it takes me a while to embrace it sometimes. This year has taught me to step outside my comfort zone, to take risks, to try something new, put myself out there and just breathe. Sometimes it really is worth it.

A random thought truly does have the potential to be (stealing a line from Chef Ron Ben Israel)  sweet genius.
