Buddy, Can You Spare Some Change?

When a woman is diagnosed with breast cancer big changes are on the horizon for her and her family. Their lives will never be the same – even with a good prognosis and a clean bill of health. Change is inevitable. But is that a bad thing?

There is an urban legend that the Chinese word for change is made up of two characters – one means danger and the other, opportunity. Doesn’t matter if the legend is true, what a powerful way of looking at change!

We change every day with every experience. We must.

We can hide our heads in fear that the change will bring bad things to our door. Or we can look for the opportunity that change brings us: a new appreciation for life, meeting new people we otherwise wouldn’t have, finding new purpose for our lives.

So buddy, can you spare some change?
