Today, our own Karen Beahan brought us a message about embracing change. There's something in human nature that fears change; the status quo feels safe, even if we know we aren't happy with things as they are, but Karen encouraged us to practice making changes, even small ones, to develop a friendlier relationship with change, for those times when change comes on us uninvited, or when we want to make the bigger changes to improve our lives — and the lives of others. Resisting fear to embrace positive change is a good goal to have in our minds tomorrow as we celebrate Martin Luther King, Jr. and his courage in fighting for positive change.
