🎯Motivational Thought of the Week:
Somewhere along the way, we learned that changing our minds meant quitting.
But cats reverse course constantly - mid-step, mid-mission, mid-meow. They don’t explain themselves. They just move toward what feels right now.
You’re allowed to update your dreams. Adjust your boundaries. Choose something new. Growth includes pivots.
💥An Empowering Question:
What are you holding onto simply because you started?
*Try this: Release one outdated expectation today.

David, I swear, sometimes I think you're psychic! I'm working on an article right now about the horrible year when we moved to France and had to move back to the US. It talks about having to pivot, be flexible, and live with change. Sound familiar? ;)
It was nice to read your post today - it helped!
I swear, David, that I have a cat-mentality sometimes. OMG, how many times I have changed the course of my life (admittedly a very long one by now, 88 years to be exact). Partners, profession, careers, political ideas, worldviews, ideas, self-images, you name it – it has to change when outgrown. Change is the only constant it's said. I like your "words of encouragement". So, no apology is forthcoming. Only love, Maria
