Am going to ‘tell the truth and shame the devil’ like mom liked to say….hey mom…*Cassandra waves to mom in heaven*

I had been wrestling, ALL last night, ALL this morning, ALL early afternoon. Wrestling with how to discreetly back my way out of a meeting needing to be had. Had armed myself with this excuse, with that fantastic reason and had let my boss know I didn’t want to meet, after all. My bad. Keep the trains moving and took off, myself.

Thankfully, my boss was/is much smarter than me. Told me ‘let’s talk, anyway’ and said ‘I’d like to know how you really feel’.

Long story short, I was completely honest and said I didn’t know if I could be completely honest, to be completely honest. After being given permission, I WAS honest: completely, totally, transparently. I didn’t look to save their feelings or my own. Just spoke, plainly. Said I didn’t think a thing would be done, that I didn’t think I would be heard, didn’t think what I thought mattered, didn’t think anything would change so why keep beating my head against the wall, that I used to never feel that way and felt bad that I did about this situation.

Longer story shorter, I was heard. So much so that wheels have been set in motion. What’s more, I earned respect, strengthened the relationship and received commitment to things I had not thought of as a possibility.

What if I had given in to fear, discouragement, frustration etc and not met with the boss? Am glad I fought for me, stood up for my decisions and be met, halfway. The outcome now no longer matters. Yes, it will be nice to have things adjusted. If they are not, if things turn out differently then the differently I foresaw, now being promised, I will continue to keep on doing and being me and keeping it moving.

The win was in not giving in to fear, in doing what was right no matter how I felt or how I felt it might be perceived, in ACTING and not letting things slide whilst continuing to be upset and mutter to myself.

I did the thing.

I tried.

I spoke up.

I spoke out.

God and Life stood up for me, with me and I can rest, now. No matter what happens now.

Am trying to turn this current glass of bitter/hard happenings to something enjoyable to drink. Or, at least drink it knowing all things work for my good.

Keep fighting for you.

Your needs are important.

Your thoughts are important.

YOU are important.

fighting for and with you,

Cassandra
