the air has changed all around me. on the outside with the new season, which i have fully embraced
and on the inside with the news that my partner in crime here at work is leaving.
i am not sure i have really embraced this news.
certainly, a few things need to settle into the cracks. the news hit hard.
i took mental notes, i took real ones.
i might be a little quieter as the week ahead creeps in, i know it will be a tough one.
i am not - and never have been good at goodbyes.
we were so close to a different ending.
life happens in phases. they can be marked by jobs, relationships, the birth of a child, diets, changing hair colors,
everything and anything.
i notice that no matter how calm or chaotic or hard or easy my life is at the moment - it is always in constant motion and every change happens for a reason.
we have worked together for nearly ten years side by side. i have spent more time with her than my own family.
we have navigated some pretty crazy days. we have shared our feelings through changing CEO's. entire leadership teams, divestitures, acquisition's,
all kinds of personal changes - graduations, weddings, the births of her 4 grandchildren, divorce, death of parents, surgeries, heartbreak, job loses, retirement and so on.
she is honest and dedicated and loyal. i will miss our every day chats and so much more.
soo much more.
for her, it's a huge step. i am sure there is fear and uncertainty but more importantly it is filled
with so much possibility. an opportunity to redesign the fourth quarter of her working years
and i couldn't be happier for her.
when you see boundaries as opportunities, the world becomes a limitless place. positive change
must come from the inside out. as i have gained experience and wisdom i know that change
highlights the importance of each moment, nothing lasts forever.
at any moment we can reset the stage, it is never to late to reinvent ourselves. we alone have this power.
i wish you all the best my sweet friend. i have been so lucky to have been on this journey with
you for so long. thanks for making many of my days just a little bit brighter.
so long for now.
love sent, xo
