Wow!  After I finished this one I knew there was so much more that I wished I had said...

My daughter said the title sounded like a soap opera, got me thinking.  Maybe I'll do part II. Love to know what you think on that subject!!

What I talk about in this episode is how we're happy in our lives, in the relationships, the job, etc and then someone new comes along.  That new 'awful' boss.  That new addition to your friend's group that just rubs you wrong.  Oooh, you get the picture, I'm sure!

It is never fun to have the dynamics of our lives shifted because of someone or something else suddenly entering into your picture.

I talk about my dynamics being disrupted and how I literally had to move on, for my own sanity.  And this subject has come to me because someone who has been absent in my life for a very long time has decided to come back into it.

It's been a peaceful few years, now unfortunately this one person will change my life's dynamics with tension and anxiety.  If I allow that.   

I can't and I won't, so I share some of my strategies and perspectives on this subject that might shed some light on what you are dealing with.  It can literally be life altering as it has been for me.  Many have left me heart broken, but I continued to be me and found a way to learn and thrive in spite of it.

So I hope this gives you some coping ideas.  And if you can, I'd love for you to share your ventures into the world of disrupted dynamics. 
You cannot be in this world without that happening.  Hiding and hoping to keep them
at bay are not sufficient to keep them out.   

Thank you for listening :-)

Passing On A Smile,
