Change is a curious state of being. How much of your current POV is focused on the changes in your life? I am asking this question around what isn’t changing because I truly can’t find anything that isn’t molting, transforming, twisting, turning, uprooting, or revealing something new in every area of my reality. This recent eclipse portal certainly invited change by eclipsing out the old and as th...
