The Changing Seasons – September 2022

Before I went on holiday in August, I went for an interview for a new job at Hilton in Northampton and was offered the job on the spot. I could not have been happier!

Since the end of last year, I had not generally been happy at work. I had good days, but overall, I found it extremely stressful. I was going to work with butterflies in my stomach and feeling stressed before I even got there! That kind of feeling is just not sustainable. I felt like I’d aged in the year that I had been working there!

In my life, I have always said that if I am not happy with something, I will do something about it.

When I returned to the UK in 2018, I found my perfect job in events. I just loved the environment, the variety of work and the people I met along the way. I found it really exciting! But, in 2020, I was made redundant because the COVID pandemic meant that the business, along with many others, wasn’t making money and had to make cutbacks.

I was gutted!

The two jobs I have had since then have not been for me!

So, when I got offered the job at Hilton, I was over the moon. I am back in events! You are now looking at the new Conference, Events and Sales Executive!

I am learning lots and every day, something new comes along – without fail. No one likes being the newbie, but I am looking at it as a period of growth. Every day, my confidence is growing, and I know I am going to love it even more than I do now. I don’t even mind going into work anymore which is a huge difference, and it feels like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders.

Despite following the wrong path over the last two years, I realise that sometimes we have to go through these negative periods to reach a place of joy once more!

I try to be as positive as I can and even when I might not believe it sometimes, my mantra has always been that everything works out in the end. Peace and love to you all 🙂

About The Changing Seasons

The Changing Seasons is a monthly project where bloggers around the world share their thoughts and feelings about the month just gone. We all approach this slightly differently — though generally with an emphasis on the photos we’ve taken during the month.

For many of us, looking back over these photos provides the structure and narrative of our post, so each month is different. Some focus on documenting the changes in a particular project — such as a garden, an art or craft project, or a photographic diary of a familiar landscape.

But in the end, it is your changing season, and you should approach it however works for you.

There are no fixed rules around post length or photo number — just a request that you respect your readers’ time and engagement.

Tag your photos with #MonthlyPhotoChallenge and #TheChangingSeasons so that others can find them.
