And so it begins
For a long time I didn’t want to branch out into the subjects that I am now following. I was afraid. I was afraid of what people would think, how they’d judge me, laugh, sneer. I was always called weird, different, a witch. So I put a lid on my ‘witchery’ and worked as a PA in an office. I hated it. I hated it with a passion, but I did it for thirty years. It had it’s good parts, in my younger days my colleagues and I would go out after work and we were friends – some of whom I still have as friends now – and we did have fun. You get benefits like paid holidays, weekends off, and it pays the bills.
But every day I would watch the clock. As soon as the big hand clicked onto the 4:30pm mark I was out of that door, quicker than Usain Bolt on speed. I dislike office politics, the bullying, the fighting for position, the cliques. I dislike spending all my life making somebody else rich and for what? It became clear to me in my final office job that, had I died, they would have replaced me without blinking. In fact, that’s pretty much what happened (without me dying, of course). But I’ve built that bridge and I’m so far over it that nothing they say or do can touch me now.
What felt like my world was falling apart was actually the Universe telling me it was way past time for a change. It was more of a “ok, you’re not going to make a move, so let me do it for you. Oh, and you may not like it when I do it for you”. And I didn’t.
In the space of two years I became ill and was told, in no uncertain terms, that I was going to die. I’d worked my way up to a managerial position and the job I had been doing for over seven years was given a name change and then given to someone else. Then along comes Covid and I was made redundant. Oh, we’d bought a house in 2018 and so we now have a mortgage and not a lot of income. No worries there then. To be continued…
So, here we are. I’m really excited about where this will lead. My dreams are finally coming true.
