A Year of Change

It's funny how I talk about spiritual and personal growth in my last post. It's two months later and I am still thinking along the same lines. I look at myself a year ago, who I was and what I did, and I see alot of changes. At this time last year I had just started seeing someone, was working a good job at a hotel, and really wanted to do something important. This sense of importance is what drove me to get involved with the program that would bring me to New Orleans. I was such a different person back then. I really needed this year to loosen me up and shake me up. I thought that everything had to be just so, but now I realize there are few things, if any that actually have to be a certain way. Living with three other people has taught me that we are all different and do things in our own way. The big realization is: This is okay. I have grown alot this past year and the more I grow, the more I see how much I need to change.
