Love Notes for Transition

November 1, 2025 12:30 am

“We can make peace with this transition—that’s a life skill and practice, no?  What is life but a series of transitions, a practice in adaptation?”
I wrote this to a friend recently. Perhaps we all know this as the nature of life, and still forget during moments of change that we don’t want.

What do I wish for us when we face change? Let’s see what emerges…
Let’s also see how these posts evolve over this month, eh? How can I enhance the words with images? What format will help the feelings land as intended?
When I look back on November 30, what will I see, feel, and think? It’ll go by slow and fast, I bet. Fun and fascinating, as always! Onward:

1. Change coming, eh? Hmmm…
Could be hard… Could be amazing.
How could you make it more of either? Hmmm…

2. Hmmm, change.
Kinda inevitable…
Even change we want
can be hard and stressful–
it’s OK to feel it all!
There is space for the full range
of the feels. 🙂

3. The dance of change–stepping between resistance and acceptance!
May your choreography bring fluid movement and
smooth deliverance to the outcome that serves you.

4. Whatever
Change
Transition
Transformation
you have coming up in life,
I wish you the peace
and stability to ride it
with aplomb.

5. O.M.G.
You’ SO GOT this!
I mean what else isthere to say?
You are amazing and there is every reason
to believe you will meet this transition
like a f*ing BADASS.

6. Everything changes in life.
Growth.
Transformation.
Evolution.
We can breathe our way through,
whatever it is.

7. What transitions
did you dread or resist,
that turned out better than you expected?
How does that experience
position you for new changes
on the horizon?

8. What energy lives
in you for the transistions upcoming?
Where do you feel it?
May it fuel your strength
and fortify your courage!

9. “If I could change the world…” –Eric Clapton
What would that look like?
How would transformation by me in the world
start?

10. You’ GOT THIS!
You’ve made it through
every major life change to date.
Your track record predicts
resilience and success.

11. Change can be hard.
Wishing you all you need to ease the journey:
Friends. Soft, comfy clothes.
Yummy snacks.
And that bright inner light
that shines always.

12. We never actually know
what’s around the corner, do we?
So we can take the changes
in front of us as they come,
one day, one moment,
one breath at a time.
ODOMOBaaT.

So, how was that? I had fun! Let’s see what happens in the next 29 days! So happy to try this with you all!! Let me know your reactions! 😀

  1. I guess the trick is to expect change and not to fear it. To look upon it as a new opportunity. Hope your changes are good changes, Cathy.

    1. Agreed, my wise friend! Or if we do fear it, muster our courage to face it calmly, because it will come regardless! ;P My changes right now are good, thank you, so I am positively reveling. Wishing the same for you, also! 🙂
