Friday reflection – Strategic beginning and ending – 7/25/25

I hope everyone is doing okay. People probably don’t care for me because I ask questions because I want to be sure we get this right. We have a new project starting and I shouldn’t ask questions. You only respond to me and not add you. “DD” as I call him tells me it’s the same project and it’s a continuation? No, it’s not. Facts that I already presented tell you it’s not. He doesn’t like it that I push back, but we should report correctly and even though it’s the same sponsor the project has changed and broken into 2 separate agreements. I challenged him and I won, but not for me, for things to change, it’s necessary, someone that cares to get it done right. It’s okay not to like me, but I will win for the sake of compliance, facts, and truth.

I had a finance meeting review with “LLW” as I call her, a medical doctor. She’s been my toughest critic despite all my efforts to ease her mind and try and explain things in many different ways. She doubts me and it’s okay, today she was different. I guess she saw how much work I put into doing the reviews and I got lucky 🍀 today. She kept pushing back initially and I showed her that the numbers she gave me were wrong and I went through each line 4 times. Boom! 🤯 She acknowledged someone was missing, a person’s payroll and I showed her the previous month and did not have notes. Her coordinator got it wrong. She should check her team, not me. Definitely uncomfortable for her but no judgment on my part, thanks for the compliments – I can’t accept it. I don’t believe her words. I still feel I fight a losing battle with her.

I have made a lot of progress when it comes to my emotions and who or what I allow to affect me as it relates to this job. A lot of it has to do with my faith and wisdom from past work experiences. This blog is part of the release of shaking 🫨 🖤 emotions off. I hope this medical doctor can stop being stubborn and so critical and see we’re on the same team. I am going to continue to bring💡 light despite the shadows they try to cover for me. I am a quiet person, but a person of action. I turn every rock, pursue each crumb of information, and question everything until I am sure of my decision. They don’t care of the steps I take, but I do, and will continue to do so until I separate from this place. All the Best!

  2. This is the kind of resilience that does not shout. Actually, it shines. You are not just surviving, you are transforming, too.
