But ‘Hello’ to what next. Those open doors. Those sunlit paths. Those discoveries of treasures so far hidden…

But before that,

Lots of conversations. Tears, laughter, shock, and gentle nods of understanding.

Preparing to say goodbye to people that I have worked alongside for many years was never going to be easy. Leaving the leadership to someone else, even less so.

It needs to happen. There’s dignity in the process.

But it is so very hard.
