January 15=2C 2024=2C Issue #191 ** Hello! ------------------------------------------------------------ Belinda Sandor When we want our lives to change=2C we usually hope our circumstances will= be better than they are right now. The problem is that when that happens= =2C and life improves=2C most of the time=2C we still want it to be better= than it is right now. Not only is it human nature=2C but the result is we don=E2=80=99t realize= our lives are getting better when=2C in fact=2C they are. Most improvemen= ts in life happen a little at a time and can seem undetectable. When I first started my Virtual Assistant business=2C I grocery shopped ev= ery other day=2C but only for the food my daughter Emily and I needed imme= diately. I was trying to manage a minimal cash flow and make sure we had e= nough to eat. During one memorable trip to the grocery store when Emily was nine=2C she= approached me with two fistfuls of Luna Bars (https://thevaconnection.us1= 2.list-manage.com/track/click?u=3D329129029ab35cbb26ae77f1c&id=3D42fccb982= 6&e=3Da9cedb2a61) =2C excited to have more than a week's worth of he= r favorite snack in our kitchen. I didn=E2=80=99t want to worry her about our financial situation=2C so I e= xplained that we were walking home and carrying the groceries=2C which mig= ht be too much to manage with all those Luna Bars. I asked her to choose o= ne bar for tomorrow and told her I would return the next day for another.= Thankfully=2C she agreed. Fast forward to today=2C and Emily=2C now 22=2C enjoys the luxury of a Lun= a Bar-filled pantry. I can=E2=80=99t pinpoint when our financial circumsta= nces shifted and allowed for this change because it was so gradual I didn= =E2=80=99t notice. But recently=2C while loading 15 of our favorite bars (White Chocolate Mac= adamia) onto the conveyor belt at the upscale grocery store in our town=2C= I paused and couldn=E2=80=99t help but reflect on that time not long ago= when something as simple as maintaining a stash of Luna Bars felt out of= reach. Life has a way of evolving in ways we might not always notice. Sometimes= =2C the most significant changes happen right before our eyes. This remind= s me that while looking for the important=2C noticeable=2C and meaningful= changes in life; progress often unfolds slowly=2C one Luna Bar at a time.
