Today - it' here :-)

I realised that I started the blog - and didn't really give much detail as to how I got "here".


Taking time for me, is something that I have wanted to do for some time - and realised as March drew to a close that my life was spinning out of control. I found that I had mastered putting "me" on hold and that waiting for the time to be right to make or commit to a change of any kind would never happen unless I made it happen.


A series of events triggered a floodlight within me - that made me realise that if I kept on doing what I was doing that I would find myself in a life threatening situation - so without further ado, I made the call to one of my ultimate bosses aka my "guardian angel" and within 48 hours I managed to get signed off of work for 3 months, identified, booked a place at Structure House, told my family and started transitioning my work to others.



To my surprise, every time I told someone of my plans - their immediate reaction was positive often the first sentiment was "it's about time" - and then expressing how worried or concerned they had been for me.



My family have been very supportive - My mom was ecstatic - when I told her of my plans, she cheered and gave me a big hug! - I guess I've been living in a fog of sorts - and was totally unaware of that fact that I was NOT living but existing.



So ...today is the day! I check out of the Embassy Suites in an hour - and have arranged to be picked up at 3 pm.



Thanks again for all your support - it's really comforting to know that I have so many that are here for me as I step on to the dance floor of my life!



Much love,



Norma
