Northcrest in the Fall
There is something magical about Northcrest in the Fall. The sunlight that filters through the colored leaves has a warm glow that illuminates the the simple lines of the the Mid-Century Modern Homes a little bit differently. The gold and yellow of the poplar trees and the spicy reds of the Maples are reminiscent of a Van Gogh painting. People ask me why I live outside of 285? If you have ever been to Northcrest in the fall and had your breath taken away you would understand. They don’t build neighborhoods like this one anymore.

Is Change Good or Bad?
We have all had the experience of realizing that something in our lives is not working. This knowledge can come as a sudden realization or a nagging feeling of doubt that grows stronger, waking us up to the fact that something needs to change. Some people have a tendency to act rashly and make sweeping changes before even understanding what the problem is. Other people fear change, so they live with the uncomfortable awareness that something needs to shift but won?t do anything about it. Between these two extreme responses lies a middle way that can help us powerfully and gracefully change what isn?t working in our lives.
Changing one thing can change everything. Because of this, small changes often have a big effect. Sometimes much bigger changes are necessary, but the only way to know for sure is to take the time to really understand the problem. Examine your life as an entirety?your work, your relationships, your health and your finances.
Determine what specifically is not functioning the way you would like. Once you have figured out the problem, write it down on a piece of paper. Get clear about what isn’t working so you can figure out another way to reach the intention you are aiming for. The truth sometimes stinks, but through the truth we gain clarity and when you have clarity you have options.
As we change, we may find it necessary to fine-tune our relationships, work, and living situations. Our lives are dynamic, don’t fight the change that is needed accept it as part of your life.
