The Seasons of Life: Eliminating the fall into the Grand Canyon “Every season has its peaks and valleys. What you have to try to do is eliminate the Grand Canyon.” Andy Van Slyke
as swiftly as the wind whirls them in the air and pushes them to the ground. As beautiful and serene as it is for many, others if you are like me, find this a time of sadness. Sad that summer memories are packed away and that the winter cold is encroaching and lazy days of summer on the lake are taken up with every minute scheduled robbing us of our time as family. I already miss the giggles and sleeping in late and dinner at 9:00 pm around the camp fire where a brat and s’mores covered all the major food groups. The change of season brings about a full 2012/2013 speaking schedule and Fundamentally Female book signing tour. Excited as I am about meeting new people and working with fabulous clients that have forever changed the landscape of my world, I shall miss the memories made during the summer. In an effort to avoid the crevasses and the fall into the Grand Canyon as winter approaches, I shall remind myself that the summer was not without its own crevasses, specifically as they related to the week of July 4th, 2012. Greatest wind storm in 40 years stripping away thousands of trees. Five days without power, modern indoor conveniences and the constant grinding sounds of generators and chainsaws. An overload of company that came even when heeded that there would be no modern conveniences. Heat index of 102 and the sweat dripping down parts of my body that could fully sweat while standing still. Wisdom teeth out in the middle of it all and a mouth that was pounding with dry sockets at the tender age of 51. So for those of you like me that mourn this season of life, hopefully you will remember that change is necessary in order to grow. Like the sturdy oak trees, we shed out leaves, packing away memories, we prepare to rest, be still and reflect and take on sunshine and nutrients in spring, so we too like the oak trees can blossom and bear fruit in budding new relationships storing our memories for yet another change of seasons. For those of you that are prone to plummeting to the depths of winter the Grand Canyons of life, hold onto the fact that you too will blossom again in the spring. As always, we welcome your thoughts, ideas, strategies and feedback. It is from each other that we learn to navigate through this wonderful world we call life. And when we know better, we do better!
