Well I’ve done it, I’ve taken my red dress out of the closet and for a spin. The action I took wasn’t huge, but it was big enough for right now, big enough for me today. I’ve made the first step towards cutting back my hours at work. For me this is an enormous step.
I’ve had the conversation. I’ve been wanting to have the conversation since November. Putting it off for one reason or another, never finding the right moment. But the other day I just did it. Considered, calm, matter of fact. Wearing my red dress on the inside.
The thing is, they really have no option but to accept my proposal. Because if the answer for some reason is no, my response is along the lines of it’s been lovely, please accept my resignation. For that I will wear the dress.
This is for me. And I haven’t done that for a long time.
