Dolphins & Angels

When I was 20 I met my best friend and my partner in life for the next 13 years. I worked hard to keep my partner happy…hours of devotion, no task was a burden, no request too big, no demand on my time was too unreasonable. In return my partner was loyal, encouraged me to push myself to be the best I could be and showered me with words of praise and gifts for my love, loyalty and time.

My partner wasn’t my boyfriend…it was my job. Until the age of 32, the relationship that enjoyed most of my time and energy was my career. I was one of those people who was always crazy busy…however all of it was work and none of it was pleasure. There was a time when Work was my pleasure…and then I realised that I filled my time being busy with Work to occupy all the spaces where I might have had time to examine other areas of my life.

Not long after I’d had this insight, Work and I just grew apart. We wanted different things. We needed to see other people.

Finally I plucked up the courage to end our relationship. I was going to start anew, do something that made my heart content…wasn’t sure what this would be but hoped that some hidden talent would surface which would allow me to do something else!

I told Work I wasn’t happy and that I thought it best if we ended our relationship. Work got upset and said we had too much good stuff to just let it all go. Feeling a little guilty [and irresponsible] I agreed to stay and give it another go on the condition that we give each other a bit more space. We agreed to see each other only 2 days a week.

Being with Work on a part-time basis was great. It allowed me to follow my heart and be somewhere that was more in line with my dreams - Dolphins & Angels. Inevitably though, letting something [or someone] go completely is necessary in order to grow in a new direction or allow something better to come in.

Today I am ending my relationship with Work [in the advertising industry] for good. I am very excited and I am looking forward feeling very free!!!

Hopefully Work and I will stay friends…
