Adventure EMBRACING LIFE’S TRANSITIONS AS BY KELLEY GRIMES, MSW “Life is either a great adventure or nothing.” O – HELEN KELLER ne thing we know for sure is that change happens constantly in our lives. Whether we are aware of it or not, we are often in a process of transition. This transition may come in the form of a new beginning, the struggle of a difficult ending, or some limbo stage in between one ending and the next new beginning.
