27 February 2016
One week from today, I will be gainfully unemployed. In a very
counter-intuitive move in today’s economy, I gave my boss my two-month notice at the beginning of January. I like my boss, the agency, and the
volunteers well enough that I didn’t want to disrupt continuity of operations
any more than necessary. There were projects I wanted to see through to
completion; it would take that long to get a replacement hired. In short, I wanted to finish well – not necessarily
because anyone else needed me to, but because I needed to – because of who I am
as a person.
I wanted to finish the job well – but I knew it was time to
finish. So I’m starting this blog at the
“end” – at a point where I’m releasing one thing to embrace something
else. Not exactly sure what the “something
else” is yet – but it has been made abundantly clear that whatever “it” is won’t
occur until I’ve surrendered my security of what
is to allow for what can be.
Over the next few weeks, I’ll go into the how/when/why of my
decision – because there are financial/spiritual/emotional logistics that lined
up well enough for me to do what I’m doing - because it is crazy. Hopefully, I’m being “crazy like a fox” and not “crazy
and delusional”.
The jury is still out on that.
