Rollin with the Changes

Just spent some time with some graduating high school students and it's always interesting and exciting to watch them plan for their lives and futures.

On one hand you admire their enthusiasm and energy for life - the boundless possibilities ahead of them. On the other hand you know how life takes its own unexpected paths and creates it own rhythms and how you really must be a Captain of your own ship and navigate the unknown storms and uncharted waters of your life to succeed. And it is often a difficult journey.

Perhaps, staying flexible, preserving and optimistic are the best possible traits to have as you live life. Life is harder and more rewarding than you can ever expect in high school and college. Sometimes the best planning can go out the window and unexpected doors of opportunity open and shut. Making the "best of it" can seem overwhelming and heroic at times. But the words "this, too will pass" is so true, as well.

At Adventure Woman our motto is "Dream to Dare." We try to encourage women to live their dreams (and feature women who do) because we know that dreams are large and life is short, and its not easy to fit every high school ambition into one lifetime.

But if you can work hard and live with no regrets then you'll be achieving more than you ever expected - and possess a fulfilling and passionate life.


An old high school favorite...

Roll with the Changes
REO Speedwagon

As soon as you are able, woman I am willing
To make the break that we are on the brink of
My cup is on the table, my love is spilling
Waiting here for you to take and drink of

So if you're tired of the same old story,
Oh, turn some pages
I will be here when you are ready
To roll with the changes, yeah, yeah

I knew it had to happen, felt the tables turnin'
Got me through my darkest hour
I heard the thunder clappin', felt the desert burnin'
Until you poured on me like a sweet sunshower

So if you're tired of the same old story
Oh, turn some pages
I will be here when you are ready
To roll with the changes, ooooh

So if you're tired of the same old story
Oh baby, turn some pages

To roll with the changes, baby,
Roll with the changes,
Ah you know you know you know you got to
