Someone Moved the Boxes!

Yes, I know I have not done a good job of regularly blogging. I'm hoping that my new business partner, who is a social media maniac, will inspire me to be more consistent as he puts our organization, ProsperRochester, on the media map.

Now, about the boxes.

I have this straight line of boxes in my head.  Some are filled, some are partially filled, some are almost empty.  They aren't fancy boxes, just clean cardboard boxes.  Each one represents a person or a part my life that I've comfortably compartmentalized and organized logically so that I can manage them.

But the other day, Lo and Behold, someone kicked the damn boxes spilling contents everywhere!  Some of the stuff in one box mixed with the stuff in another box - what a mess!  

I stood there, hands on hips, looking at the boxes and it occurred to me that the people and the things in my life don't belong in boxes.  They do not need to be controlled or "managed."  A little order is useful, but too much order is constricting and fosters inflexibility.  I'm feeling just a little bit excited (and a little nervous) about revisiting the boxes and consciously beginning to empty them, deciding what goes where and whether or not they need to be in boxes at all.

I'll keep you posted.
