Lots O' Changes.

My, my. There is certainly a lot going on these days.

Fall (my absolute favorite time of the year) is upon us. Today, as I was sitting outside in the sunshine, watching the kids play & taking in the fiery reds and burnt oranges of my surroundings, I started thinking. This change of seasons is taking place all around me, and it's actually a pretty accurate picture of my life at this moment. I, too, am entering into this brand new season, and it's a season of beauty & excitement & hope & even a tinge of sadness, all tangled together. I can't fight it. I can't slow it down. The change just happens, and I'm learning to simply let go and go with it. It's a process - but an incredible one.

So, with all that being said, I want to remind you all to please start contacting me at elena.pellizzaris@yahoo.com from now on. I'm gradually making the switch back to my maiden name. It will take some time, I'm sure, but it will be well worth it. It's my name, and I want to feel like I still have that piece of my old self that I can go back to. As I search for balance between the girl I once was, the person I became & the woman I'm evolving into, it's important for me to know that, through it all, I'm still me. I know life is continually changing, but I'd like to think that some things could maybe, just maybe, stay the same.
