I woke up this morning early, thankful that yesterday was past. I pulled out my yoga mat and sat quietly facing the sun. I wanted to be still and reflect on the whirlwind of the last 24 hours.
As I sat meditating, feeling the sun warm my face, I became aware of an essential truth. Love is what got me through that crisis yesterday. My resolve to fix this almost job ending snafu was only possible because of those around me who believed in me, and who loved me enough to fight for me.
My family rallied around me. I had hugs, and encouraging words from my husband and my kids, even the one 600 miles away. They were the first line of angels who came to my aid.
This afternoon I discovered another army of angels were fighting just as hard for me at work.
When the principal told my friend and colleague that there was a problem, she began to fight immediately. Our principal is new and does not know me. Jen begged her to call the powers that be and find a solution. She's my hero.
Another angel in my corner was our crusty Dean of Students. Don and I have bonded this past year over some of our "shining stars." He went to talk to the principal, and spoke passionately on my behalf.
My former principal also came to my defense. She talked to our corporate office while my new boss called everyone in the
district and got the answers. She was amazingly supportive and I am grateful she did not give up on me. They are all angels.
The saying "Cast your breads upon the waters" comes to mind. Good karma is repaid in kind.
I was shown the love in ways I had not even imagined.
My heart is full tonight, and I feel so infinitely blessed to have such a loving and incredible circle of people in my corner.
