Just checking in.

Just checking in.

I thought I'd start a discussion where we can check in with members and use this space to keep in contact. It's a space to be able to say how you really feel and it's a space for the good, the bad and the ugly moments in our lives.

Re: Just checking in.

So today I took the bull by the horns and decided to do something about some of the inappropriate things that have happened at work in the last year.

I arranged a meeting today and outlined what has been happening over the last year, stated what I believe needs to happen and offered a potential solution.

My recommendations were very well received and the meeting was amazingly positive. I had ummhed and aahed over whether I should stick my neck out so far and decided that I'm old enough and ugly enough that my reputation doesn't really matter that much.

So.... with a deep breath and chanting 'Let it begin with me' I acted. Change can only happen if at least one person is prepared to take the first step. I'm not sure how it will all play out but I'm glad I decided to stand up and be counted.

Love to all. 🎶💕

Thanks @Faith-and-Hope.

It wasn't that huge it just took a bit of a shove from Kurra for Kurra to act. If all goes well however it certainly could end up being HUGE. There might be improved conditions for me but that is irrelevant. What I do want is for current processes to change so that those in similar situations don't have to experience what I have. 🎶💕

Re: Just checking in.

For me, that's the huge part ..... breaking ground so others don't have to suffer like you did ....

I hope I have broken ground in understanding the nature of dialects, so other children are given safe passage through the pitfalls we encountered. It gives a purpose and positive outcome to something that was anything but that at the time ..... and shows that perseverance is worth a lot.

@Kurra. Fantastic effort! I'm impressed. It's not always easy doing that. But YOU did. Huge pat on the back.
I really hope your workplace shows the same guts that you have - & makes some positive changes.

I think you hit the nail on the head F&H. It's all about turning negatives in to positives.

I have been blessed with my healthy and stable mental health. This has enabled me to take action for the common good. Now it's about keeping the driving force behind change moving forward.

I can do that! 🎶💕

I just realised that I sound full of my own power and importance. Far from it. I have approahed these issues with humility and I guess altruism.

Only time will tell but I've dug my heels in and I will diplomatically push and shove as much as is needed to effect this change. 😆

In addition, I believe we are all capable of doing much more about many things in our lives than we believe anf for which we give ourselves credit.

The lioness has roared. (I'm a Leo born in the year of the metal tiger). I've handed it over now to my God. If it's will, it will happen. 💕🎶
