So today was a tough one. I had to announce that I was going to the competition to my ex-boss and VP today. Needless to say my boss clearly took it personal and verbally bitched slapped me in an email. He pretty much said I was not honest and put my integrity into question. Now normally I would run for the licorice, Jo Louis, lays chips but today I just had a couple glasses of wine and I talked. I talked to whomever would listen and it helped BIG TIME. I do still have knots in my stomach and I want to tell him off bad, but I know that this all has to end somewhere and I will take the high road. He was speaking out of emotions and I know he just didn't want to lose me as an employee., Oh well, new beginnings, right?!?!?
The reason I share this story is because during this process we are going to face many obstacles, many draw backs, many emotional moments. These are test. These are tests to get a sense of our own strength. These are situations we would have face at anytime in our comfortable lives where we lived the way we grew accustomed. But now we are in the realm of change. In the moment where we are out of our comfort zone. These "tests", "situations". etc..... are going to rear their ugly heads all the time, but it's not necessarily more than normal. It's just that we are in a vulnerable state.
So please stay strong ladies. Stay focused. Have your moments. Then move on. Dust that s@it off your shoulders. We are strong and if not for ourselves for each other.
I am excited to see what next week brings.
