My thoughts on change and success

I feel that I am capable of change and typically once I set my mind to something I go full steam ahead.  I am an all or nothing type of person.  The hard part for me is making up my mind to make the change.  As for success I am very confident in my ability to be successful.  I have had many successes in my life and when I think about the times when I haven't been able to be successful at something.  I can tie it back to my attitude about what I was doing.  Also sometimes I feel that I expect too much of myself, and at times I spread myself too thin.  Back to change.  I need to constantly remind myself that my change doesn't automatically mean that others will change.  The scary part is knowing that with change it can sometimes mean that people or things you were used to will not longer be a part of your life. Letting go is sometimes very hard.

Infidelity

I wonder if infidelity hurts more if the person who betrayed you is still alive or if its worse if they are dead before you find out about the cheating? I recently went to the movies to see the movie The Descendants with George Clooney. I was a very emotional movie. The long and short of the movie is that George Clooney's wife is in a boating accident and ends up in a coma. While in the coma just as the doctor tells him she's not coming out of it he finds out that she was cheating on him. Fortunately she had a living will so he did not have to make the decision to keep her alive or not. George's character was shocked and hurt but as portrayed in the movie it seemed worse because he couldn't confront his cheating spouse and get answers to the one question that was burning within him... WHY???
It brought me back to Jada one of the main characters in my books Yesterday's Lies and Today's Truth. Jada's husband David Jr. cheated on her but she has no idea and he is now deceased. Her friends are doing everything they can to keep the truth from her. If the truth is revealed to her now it will be a year since he died. Will the pain be more or less because he is dead? Check out Today's Truth coming May 2012 to see how Jada reacts when Yesterday's Lies become Today's Truth.

Woman's Sojourn group - My expectations

I joined a women's group called Woman's Sojourn and one of our first exercises was to write what our expectations are of the group. This is what I wrote:

I expect to meet new woman, sister friends that I can share my life experiences, learn and group with. I am looking for new ways to connect with myself, find inner peace. Also I am looking for ways to enhance my physical and spiritual health. I have been carrying around a lot of junk and I hope this ends up being somewhat of an emotional and spiritual spring cleaning for me. On the other side of this I hope to have a clearer view of what my life purpose or goal is.
