How the federal layoffs are affecting me
Last week was a rough week for me.
Many of you know that I am a proud civil servant and work for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
Thanks to all of you that reached out to check on me with this first round of layoffs. I'm doing okay and appreciate your love and support.
Last Thursday afternoon, 6 members of my federal team were terminated and given an hour to pack up and leave. On Saturday, I was informed that 8-10 of my contractors will also be terminated soon.
Honestly, I doubt I'll have a job by the end of the year.
My life is chaotic to say the least. This is only one aspect of many changes that I'm juggling right now.
I have times where I feel anger, sadness, injustice, confusion, frustration, fear... but also moments of clarity and peace.
It's in these moments of clarity that I feel focused and empowered to step into the unknown. When I get excited and curious knowing that I'm being given an opportunity for growth and change.
And THAT is what thriving in chaos means to me.
I am not a pawn in this game of life. I am in control of what I choose to put my energy into. I am here to create this next chapter in my life with purpose and intention.
