i was with my girlfriend mary-jo fletterly last night and i was telling her my story of the week.  an awefull story of being let go of yyoga due to a mistake of ethics i made last month.  she mentioned that it was a common theme amongst all people now due to the nature of these times.  we are all here learning lessons and some of them are wonderful but others are put in place to show us all that we have a lot to learn.

my story is that a couple of months ago, i transfered myself up to yyoga on the northshore which i knew in my heart  what wanted to do.  again, i was new in a place and needed to make an impression.

so when a client mentioned that she was wanting a home visit, i impulsively wanted to help her and said yes, while in a public place where everyone could hear.

only later, in the change room did i come to my senses and said that was a very bad idea.  i am not one to take a client that was not mine, i was not doing the right thing and realized it.  told the client of  my ethics, canceled working on her and did not think of it again.

it was reported back to the management that i had offered to work on a client outside of workplace and of course, the company had to let me go.   not the best way to leave but fortunate that i had not done wrong on the premise.

i compromised my position there and though i corrected my transgression, i was informed that the managers had heard about the bad decision i made, as i said i was just flippantly talking in a crowd.

i am not perfect in every moment.  i meant to be good to an individual but in fact i was disrespectful to my employer, their guests and to my own reputation.  that to me is the biggest lesson.  i take responsibility for my mistakes and i strive to be better always.

thanks for listening…i know that it is not much of a blog topic but still it serves to me to be responsible to my life lessons.  no need to sweep it under the rug…it is best that i acknowledge myself as a good person with good intentions but i am human in that i make mistakes.

thank you to yyoga for giving me the time to practise in this last year in their studios.  i am sorry that i was impulsive with my actions and it is a real sadness that i know will resound in my heart  for a long time.
