Change is beautiful, embrace it and move forward.<br /><br />I was so moved to read that last paragraph about your grandfather.

I don&#39;t always get very personal here so when I do, it means a lot to me to read your thoughts. I really do appreciate it.<br /><br />It is quite amazing how we are all so similar...at the end of the day we are human with similar hopes, dreams, fears...it&#39;s just that so few people talk about it so openly.<br /><br />so...thanks.<br />xoChessa!http://www.blogger.com/profile/14619953390847121652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27374826.post-58780311125103045102009-07-10T01:53:48.300-04:002009-07-10T01:53:48.300-04:00Beautiful, deep post.

I loved learning more about your heritage, and how your life has changed over the last year. My maternal grandparents are Mexican, and I am so thankful to have been raised with my latin culture. There are so many songs that remind me of my youth with my grandpa, which was truly the happiest time in my life.Candihttp://candacerose.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27374826.post-48139393848091861742009-07-09T22:19:15.591-04:002009-07-09T22:19:15.591-04:00Great photos and insights.

I can relate to how you feel about leaving behind the known, professional track for the wild unknown. But that&#39;s how life sweeps you up in the flow of things, and the older (and hopefully wiser) I get, the more I learn to let go and just get into the flow of things... I never would have imagined myself in the same place say.. a year ago. So I&#39;ve only just begun my career transition journey. Beautiful images, as always. xxDream Sequinshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09398139969383253634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27374826.post-20003511718178614452009-07-09T15:54:01.598-04:002009-07-09T15:54:01.598-04:00i love this my sweet..sometimes we can tell time in ourselves through the rituals of a slower culture..it&#39;s beautiful to see ourselves growing: out of pain, into ourselves, learning something new through the same sight....i want to sit and drink tea with you and talk about this one for hours....when i get back...for sure...Bonbon Oiseauhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00217372750598243358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27374826.post-17830313113721999892009-07-09T15:11:38.891-04:002009-07-09T15:11:38.891-04:00What a great story-I think I&#39;m in my 2 what the hell is happening years right now-so this is so inspiring for me.

Can you imagine where you would be now if you hadn&#39;t experienced them? I too often forget to appreciate that.

Totally afraid of the fact the I don&#39;t know what lies ahead. It freaks me out so much and I begin to think things will never come together. It&#39;s very comforting to hear you went through the same thing and came out of it so much better.<br />The pictures are lovely, by the way.Vanessahttp://thevoyageofv.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27374826.post-38488615929716780802009-07-09T12:52:39.395-04:002009-07-09T12:52:39.395-04:00time just fly this few years for me. i had a career change too and it was quite daunting to have to learn everything new and having no expertise and not knowing where I would ene up.Savvy Mode SGhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12274781443181176710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27374826.post-44441927578123872962009-07-09T11:21:42.695-04:002009-07-09T11:21:42.695-04:00Oh my- such lovely photos!!! :) xoxoBrunch at Sakshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11303422033927232252noreply@blogger.com
