I feel incredibly fortunate to be surrounded by a circle of bright, confident, and loving women in my life. Whether it's my daughter, my sisters, nieces, extended family members, or girlfriends, there's a pervasive sense of mutual support through both the highs and lows. Together, we've navigated the complexities of dating, marriages, separations, divorces, losses, health challenges, and professional hurdles.

Have you ever wondered why some people thrive on change while others resist it vehemently? Personally, I find joy in change. It adds an element of excitement to life, a constant anticipation of something new. I recall a family member who adhered to a strict meal routine – Monday was salmon, Tuesday chicken, Wednesday pasta, and so on. I couldn't help but think, "What if you crave pizza or sushi on a Wednesday?" The predictability seemed boring to me. I understand that for families, having a set dinner routine can alleviate stress, but the idea of spontaneity appeals to me.

Pet ownership is a profound journey that transcends beyond mere companionship; it is a shared odyssey of love, responsibility, and boundless joy. Whether you have a loyal dog, an independent cat, or a feathered friend, the experience of caring for a pet enriches our lives in ways both simple and profound.

Change is an inevitable part of life, and yet, it is often met with resistance and fear. Whether it's a change in career, relationships, or lifestyle, embracing change is a powerful catalyst for personal growth and transformation. Instead of viewing change as a disruptor, consider it as an opportunity to evolve, learn, and create a more fulfilling life.
