Closure...for all of us

So wow! I went to my first therapist party last night. I worked with those therapist for over three years and now that I wasn't their boss anymore I guess, it was OK.

I to be really honest here - was scarred to go. Maybe it stems from my feelings that if I hadn't gotten fired and stayed -things wouldn't be happening as they are now. But, I know that is not true and that is partly why, I am not there now - I disagreed fundamentally with certain changes that were coming down the pipe line for the spa. And in the corporate world if your not in agreement then your out!

It was actually very good for me to see all of those people - kind of like closure which I was missing and needed. There was so much pain - maybe, that is why I would never make a great manager because, I think of situations from all sides not just the business side. Things happen and the business world needs to realize that we are all people and things happen to all of us outside of our work life and that is a fact of life.

I believe that true healers need someone to listen to them, to understand them, and what they are going through, so that they can do what they do. Healers/Therapist are definitely a different breed of people but isn't that what makes them so great at what they do? The business world or rather corporations I don't think will ever understand that therapist/healers are not in a business model no two are a like or ever will be and I am thankful for that.

I realize now, that group of wonderful people -who did make me crazy on a regular basis helped me grow. They taught me to listen better, laugh more, argue better, and stand up for what I believe in that is way more than anyone could ask from their employees oops! I meant independent contractors. I love you all and wish you all the very best in your next endeavors.
I will especially miss Lynn & Ken's sense of humor, Mariela's and Colleen's understanding, Deborah's fight and sweetness, the sweetness of Meredith & Larry, Tyann who should have been a little fairy, Bebe's on the go-ness, Dawn's ability to do it all, CoCo's big smile, Bob's arguing OK, maybe I won't miss that, Carla such respect, oh, Coe what a big teddybear, and Dora and Tammy who were there when I started and knows it all - I am sorry I know I am missing a lot of you but I wish you all well.
Remember, that sometimes fate has a way of making decisions for you that you should have made for yourself - at least that is what I have been telling myself and may you all see what is so special in each of you that I see in you.
