Moving to London brought big changes into my life and family.
Change is one thing that we depend on in our life. But so many people don’t like change in their lives, they are comfortable keeping the status quo. What if things don’t turn out the way we expect?
Change involves risk. And I guess that’s why most of us don’t like change.
A few years back whilst in Zimbabwe, I made a decision to let my wife come to England. Things were definately changing and something had to be done. Even though I didn’t like the Idea at first, now I realise that was the right decision. Even though I was to spend one year alone in Zimbabwe.
A year later I also joined the long journey to England which was to bring even more major changes into my life. Adjusting to the general life and work culture was a big thing at first.
Later we got our son to join us in London and we are now settled together as a happy family.
That was not to be the end, for change comes anytime. Just last year, I lost the most influential person in my life when my mother passed away. She meant everything to me.
Being the first born, this brought more changes and responsibilities into my life. Some of which I’m still learning to cope with.
Well, all my life I have learnt to cope with change.
Perhaps you have also had a major change in your life?
Tell me about it!
Maybe you moved to another country or another area?
Let’s hear about it! How did you find the changes from where you lived previously.

Since I’m a big fan, I had to be the first to comment on your new blog. The thing about writing about yourself – you encourage personal questions, in a way that’s clever because it keeps us wanting more, well in hopes that you’d write more about yourself. Change is inevitable, and if I’m to start talking about the changes I’ve made and where I’ve been, this could be a book on it’s own. I’ve lived in the US and of course New Zealand, and let me tell you, both moves were not easy. What I’ll have to do is dedicate a post to you about how I’ve dealt with change in my life, because if I’m to do it now, you won’t be amused. I’m sorry to hear about your mum, I can’t even start to imagine how you’re dealing with her absents and the changes.

Thanx Tondy for being a big fan. I intend to keep it a bit personal all the same with more of what I’m doing with my life.
Wish you Happy days in New Zealand. Looking forward to your post.
