Ugh.

     One of the metaphors I use with my clients is the idea of change and growth being like waves or tornadoes.
     With the wave imagery, we often feel like we are at the beginning of a difficult time or experience/situation all over again.  However, like a wave that curls back on itself and then pushes forward with renewed momentum and strength,we really find ourselves not at the beginning, but much further along again.
    Similarly, the tornado swoops us up in all this energy and chaos, but over time we find ourselves higher up in the funnel with a new perspective.  As time goes on we continue to revisit certain issues, but always higher up (from the ground and chaos) and from a different angle.
     I never said it was easy or pleasant...especially when the wave is cresting or the funnel cloud is on the move.
     And so it is that I am revisiting the career/livelihood quandry-yet again.
