17 Week 7

Well, we start with chaos and end with calm. I'm not sure a more fitting metaphor or example for the phoenix rising. 

Just when it seems hopeless, someone like RC ends our week with a brilliantly hopeful coda. 

He's not blowing smoke up our ass. He is open about all the work that needs to be done. But he's here, and he thinks it can work. He sees changes that need to be made, but he feels it's attainable. 

In the middle of all this, I see the reality that not only do I probably need to change my role, I need to just plain change. 

Highlights:

- People leaving that need to leave

- People coming that need to come

Next week:

- Stay focused on the good that's happening

- Keep up with therapy

- Be open to change
