Oasis Of Healing During 10-Hour Ceasefire

A 10-hour ceasefire was negotiated for yesterday between 8:30 a.m. and 6:30 p.m., so that the two high level negotiators who were brought in could meet with everyone, including all management and staff, in a day-long gloves-off common session which got all emotional issues on the table, and then during the second half of the negotiations, discovered some stepping stones that we can lay down, if we choose to, to create a path out of the war zone with minimal damage to personnel and the organization. I made significant commitments to change, and I am at peace now with the challenges coming, and my place in them. I grew personally quite a bit in the experience, so it was "good for me" *:-)
