Change is Coming

     I’ve come to believe one of the most challenging and difficult questions Life asks of us is, “Will you change?” This question has been on my mind quite a bit as I prepare to leave Laraway to pursue new opportunities to provide training and consultation with other organizations in the community and beyond.

     What does it take to make a big change in your life?  Reflecting on the children and youth who have passed through Laraway’s doors, has given me some answers.

     I have learned it’s important to dream. Know your passions and let them run wild.  Imagine a new destination and destiny for yourself.  On the practical side of things, it’s helpful to have a plan for getting through a big change.  A long journey is less daunting when you have a map and compass to help guide you.

     Finally, and I would say most importantly, you’ve got to have a travel buddy when making a change.  The tough times are a little more manageable, the good times are a little more enjoyable when you have someone to walk and talk with you.

Thank you for 20 amazing years of changes!  ~Greg Stefanski
