… but first, I want to say a huge, fuck-off THANK YOU to my dear bloggy (and non-bloggy) pals: Anita, Crse, Nancy, Margie, Cousin ‘O Love, Ami, Twinnie and my sweet Unc for all your thoughts, suggestions, love, light and hugs. I think I really needed it. (Duh, right?) Each of you brings a unique perspective and way of saying it that allows me to look at things from a different view and they all help me find my way through the tunnel. So, thank you, thank you, THANK YOU. I loves you all. (And Unc, it warms my bitty heart to know that I am my father’s daughter! Thank you for insight only you could offer.)
How did it answer me, you ask? As it happens, I will be sharing some of the duties I really disliked with Mrs. Tool Time (who not only doesn’t dislike them but actually has lots of background in managing people and programs and excels at it). I will continue to manage the operations piece of things and she will handle some other areas where her expertise can help grow the staff and business. It’s a good decision and I told Screamy that I believed it would take the office to the next level, closer to where he wants it to be. Bottom line: still at the job but now handling just the things I do well and not killing myself over feeling deficient in areas I have neither the time nor inclination to climb the learning curve. Plus! It’s one step closer to moving in the direction I want to go. Go me! (oh, and go Universe too!)
In other angel news – our friends lost their fight to keep their to-be-adopted daughter recently and were having trouble getting anyone in the media to take an interest in how they’ve been horrendously screwed over by DSS. I spent an evening reading through the voluminous history of the case and then before I went to sleep, told the angels I needed them to help me write something that was concise and would generate interest in their case. When I got up on Sunday morning, the inspiration was there and I spent about an hour just writing and then editing. Came up with something I liked and sent it to them. They printed it off along with a picture of their daughter and took it around to TV stations and guess what? Someone called and wants to do a story!!! WOO-HOO! Go angels!! That thrilled me to pieces! I don’t know if any of it will help them regain custody but if it brings awareness to the egregious dysfunction of DSS, then it was a good thing. (Ideally, of course, my intent was to assist them in getting their daughter back.)
I loves me some angels and the universe. When I throw stuff out there, they never fail to help me. It’s not always the way *I* think it should be but it’s always been for the highest good and so I trust it.
Gratitude
The energy of Gratitude helps us remember to be grateful about everything that happens in our lives for we have created it ourselves.

God Lisa, you are such an inspiration! (sorry about any spelling and grammar errors in advance!) I wish I had an ounce of your faith. Was there something about Monday? Depression hit me so hard I could barely get out of bed. I called in sick and barely pulled it together for Max’s B-day. I’m SO GLAD you found a solution to your work problem! I’m going to keep chugging along.
YAY!!!! That is soo exciting! You know, my horoscope said something this week about jumping without a net (its a good thing) and your job success is very inspiring! Keep us posted sweetie and congratulations!
