Is slow how you achieve lasting change?

I apologize for the silence in here. I have had and still have a lot of thinking to do. I want to change a few things on the site and will get to that before I return to regular blogging. Be warned that it might take a while for me to get the stuff changed – this is not really my field of expertise… 

There are also a lot of things pending in our lives at the moment. For the longest period (or at least a month) I thought we would pack up the family and move across the globe again sooner than we thought. Now I am starting to think it might not be until next summer. Which is both good and bad really. I can’t wait to go, but at the same time our life here is so good, the kids are thriving and there is a lot for me to do still. I am finishing up some course work (Human Rights and Diversity) and getting engaged in gender issues through a non-profit where I am on the board. Slowly we are decreasing our stuff and my husband is engaged in a rather promising collaboration with a friend.

Slowly slowly we are aligning our life with our values. The slow pace of the changes is therapeutic to me – I am a very impatient person and tend to want all change to happen yesterday. Realizing that slow is often how you achieve lasting change, I am now quite happy with the slow changes. As long as there is change in the right direction, which there certainly is this time.  

I promise to have more content coming up in the coming month and then I will get back to regular posting again. In the meantime – subscribe so you don’t have to come back checking for new posts but get automatically updated.

  1. Hi! Thanks for checking out my post on “Feed the Roots..” Really enjoyed this post and put it on my Facebook page. Your message is exactly what 2012 energy is all about – especially in the first months of Mars going retrograde. Slowly moving forward is the best right now. Anyway, following your blog and Twitter. Looking forward to reading more. Love the quote with Frodo too! Have a great day!
