Powering through change

Sometimes you have to trim the trees in order to foster growth.  Life is like that at times.  That’s the way I feel at Welcome Home RGV.  We’re always changing and growing.  As soon as things get relatively “normal,” we add something new or decide to take the plunge with a challenging software package or a completely new  website design.  And sometimes we do it all at one time!

 

Last season saw a lot of change for us.  Entering the season, I was anxious (as I always am).  In retrospect, I’m glad I didn’t know what was about to change, or I may have run away from home.  During our busiest time, which starts in October, we brought our coupon book back, started a promotional division, AND opened a travel agency.

 

It was a chaotic season, but it was also filled with excitement–a different kind of energy, a whole lot of moving things around, and the adventure of discovering our new normal.  We powered through the changes and utilized the slower summer months to adjust and to implement strategies  that would streamline and strengthen not only our new ventures but our current products and services, as well.

 

I never dreamed at this time last year we’d be where we are today.  Perhaps because the changes were such a natural addition for us, it really doesn’t seem like all that much has changed.  The exciting thing to me is wondering what opportunities will present themselves this season and where we’ll be at this time NEXT year.

 

A huge thank you to all of you who have had a hand in Welcome Home RGV.  From our staff,  working tirelessly to make the thoughts that flip through my mind come to life, to our followers, our ever-loyal customers, and our faithful volunteers–it’s because of you that we continue to grow, change, and thrive through it all.
