.....or what a difference a day makes!
To say that the last couple of months has been stressful might be an understatement. Having a family, home and business to run certainly keeps one busy and at times there is stress but lately there has been EXTRA stress. This extra stress has been business related, but it was external, unnecessary and due to the actions, or in this case the INACTION of 1 person. I only feel free to talk about it now, as it is mostly resolved but only just as of lunch time yesterday. The situation has taken a toll emotionally, physically and financially and like most situation that escalate out of control it is frustrating to acknowledge that it was completely unnecessary. I am not exaggerating when I say that it has put the future of my business at risk and I am fighting with the what is left of my confidence and pride to pick myself up and hold it all together. I am afraid that most of you are going to have be satisfied with me talking around the actual issue and maybe you may wonder why I am even bothering to post about it. Well I am for several reasons. Firstly it is hopefully a partial explanation as to why my blogging and FB activity has dropped off the last few weeks. It got hard to put on a brave face but it there was also things that became a priority. Secondly I want to draw a line in the sand: This situation, and this individual will no longer steal my energy, my focus and creativity. I am not good at moving on, I am a muller, a dweller...generally a hang on to hurt. But I KNOW that is not good for me. So this post is IT! And lastly I want to thank the few people who have been privy to the full situation. You girls know just who you are....and I doubt I would have come out the other side without your support, your wise council and your practical help. OH and hugs I have had plenty of hugs!!! I really think hugs make the world go around. I know for me they are worth 1 million words!!
So I am licking my wounds, counting my blessings and recognising what I have learnt during the drama! But most importantly I am moving on!!
cheers

Have been in a similar business situation many years ago, so I know how destructive one person can be. Your attitude is great - keep up the good work. A positive attitude can do so much to help just about anything.
There is one thing that has obviously come out of this, that you are now a much stonger and wiser person. SO!! with that in your back pocket, take your steps forward and continue to be the best person you can be .....YOU!!

You are now stronger, wiser and more confident within yourself, now, I am sure. :) Some lessons are painful, but if you work through them, boy, what a celebration of self they engender! Hugs, my friend, lots of hugs! I admire your spirit and your attitude. :)
