Finding more and more that every day is a new day to learn a lesson.

It may not be big, but really small, but all lessons are for learning and taking note of.

I am the sort of person who will find phone numbers, I will pray and use every avenue to get an answer. This is something in my full-time position, that helped get my boss into a meeting at parliament house, something now one else could do.

I have emailed the head of telco companies and heads of industry that have a gate keeper of an admin that no one has been given information before.

I know from experience, that no door is fully closed, you just need to be creative. I have typed up highly sensitive information before and never taken in or read the notes as a whole. It is something I can do, so people know I am trustworthy.

Yesterday, I was thinking about the office in the city, the board room needed art, and I knew the colours and what was needed but also, not in the budget for a non-profit organisation.

So, I got the reds, brown etc and managed to make a painting that I called “Hidden”. I remember when I took it in to hang it, my boss asked about the picture. I told him it was needed and its mine, he was shocked, then in awe because he asked about my art. I was thinking about how I would set up the meeting room, and how I knew those who had food allergies and kept note.

I would turn up at 7.30am for an early meeting all dressed in my suit, they were mainly board members but to me it was professional for me to be there. I used to work on the train home, work from home, change flights, I did almost everything.

I had to list my duties on a form the other day, National Office Manager, Database Manager, Village Membership Manager, PA to the CEO, Receptionist, travel coordinator, Meeting room management and amenities, State coordinator, plus I would make a cake for everyone’s birthday.

This is not me thinking I am Miss wonderful, it was me remembering, just how efficient I could be, the main thing was when the father said to go work there. I had a job in town which I was floor manager, but I wasn’t confrontational as required.

But, working in the city, I learned, I watched, and I learned how to find things out, because I had a lot of contacts, but the main thing was the lesson of how to fight. How to stand up for myself and do it the right way.

My lesson has been, you don’t have to get all aggravated, just that something inside of me says, NOPE. And I fight the legal way, the right way and when I don’t have too. The lesson is he will fight for me, my father who is a jealous God, and I of him…
