Phew!

This picture doesn't have anything to do with anything but I just like it.

I get this online horoscope sent to my work email every morning and a couple of days it has pretty close, if not right on the mark. One day it was about letting your emotions BE, without judgment. OK, got it. Yesterday, it was about letting your personal standards and ethics be your guide, not letting anyone else's bullshit make decisions for you. Now that was some exact shit! Sorry, I'm channeling Dave Chappelle; imagine that last sentence said in his voice.

Right now, I have at least two things (mutual clients/a "situation") going on that involve co-workers of mine with whom I don't exactly share a style, a code of ethics, an understanding of how to do things. I have my style, they have theirs. In the last few days, I have had three separate clients say to me, "We were working with ----, but we don't like her, we like you." It makes things very sticky and complicated when it comes to the money. Who cares who's client it was if the deal doesn't close, but when it gets close to it, tempers flare, emotions get out of whack and people get mean. And crazy.

I stuck to what I think is right and didn't open my mouth too much in both (open) cases and it seems the universe really is providing for me and reassuring me that what I am doing is just right. It's a great feeling to know that for right now, the moral rudder is doing the driving and that it is steering me toward success.

I'll get more into this when I have some more time to hash out the details and come up with funny nicknames for everyone.

Remind me to make a pedicure appointment for my mom's birthday.
