Well I didn't get fired but I did resign. The sad thing is the CEO knows the truth and is saddened to see me go. The thing I find sad is knowing the truth and her still doing nothing about it. Oh well..moving on.
I am a very visual and mark the occasion kinda gal. I am taking all my work papers, save the projects I have done, and am having a burning party next Saturday. This includes all my memberships to various organizations that were career related and even a suit that I have worn every week for the past 2 years. It will be very cleansing for me.
Another important aspect for me is to sit in the moment and soak it in. I usually rush to get through these things but I think this is such a time of contemplation for me, as time to really let go of this 23 year path I have been on and to open up to all that is new and exciting in the world.
I am also donating my hair. I have had it long for 7 years now. Again, another soul cleansing, mark the moment time for me. I am not afraid of change in this way and I think a new perspective, even if only hair, will be very satisfying.
I packed up all my corporate clothes except for the pieces I am wearing for my final week of work. This includes jewelry, shoes, accessories. I want extreme simple for the rest of the summer. A huge piece for me is my make up. I am basically throwing it all out (I think I have had most for over 4 months now). Freshly scrubbed and clean is my motto right now, to include my face.
And so begins the stripping back of the layers to find out who is under there.
I am really excited to approach this next phase in my life. Here's to life!!!
