Iona Sheep - 2012
When I think about the best times in my life…they were/are always group activities…
One of my best birthdays was on Iona with a big group of vollies gathered in the common room over cake and music. Camaraderie inside and Scotland outside. What could have been better?
I am struggling with feeling isolated right now and making very deliberate efforts to get out and be with people and friends until I find work within a team once again. Church and Choir are a definite life-line.
I know that nothing will be quite like working in the Abbey Kitchen…maybe no more impromptu dance routines to ABBA by the housekeepers during lunch prep…where does that happen often??? But I do miss having co-workers. When I worked at TV Guide, we would go out and play darts and organized a knitting circle. I went through some of my biggest life changing experiences while working with others and I am better for being involved in these relationships.
This has been a big revelation to me in terms of creating my own business, too. I was worried that I just didn’t enjoy work, no matter what the job. You know, as soon as something becomes your job, you lose your passion for it. But I am fast realizing that it’s that I don’t want to do it alone…
