Dreamed with Kali this morning, then saw a dying bird on the sidewalk as I walked to the store. I was thinking this Freyja day would be dedicated to Freyja but it seems if anyone can break established patterns, it's the goddess of death, destruction, and decay. I'm feeling overwhelmed, my chest has been tight for the last few hours, and I'm confused. I decide to save explanations for a later time. I feel sad, like I've lost something, but I don't know what it is. Yesterday I told my manager that I needed his help transitioning to a different role that would be a better fit with my strengths. I was really nervous at first, but he was understanding and supportive. He asked a lot of questions to understand exactly what issues I was facing with my current responsibilities, and suggested a wide variety of possible roles that he thought I might find enjoyable and interesting. At the end, he shared that he does a check-in every six to twelve months to see if his responsibilities felt aligned with his interests, and if he was learning and growing in his current role. I thought that was a fantastic exercise, and the whole process turned out even better than I could have expected. My last meeting of the day, which was causing me a bit of stress, was just cancelled unexpectedly, leaving my afternoon free and without pressure. Kali is powerful.
