Gaining Perspective with Andrea Ruchelman

Making Friends With Change: "The change you cultivate opens the door to creating your best life. Befriend it, plan for it and savor the experience.

Change rarely waits for a perfect time, place or set of circumstances. Your decision to seek it will be your catalyst. Begin your rewarding journey toward change. Triumph over your status quo. Revel in the possibilities that await you."
