A Strange Kind of Wealth

 




My day began as it usually does at 5 a.m., quiet streets, morning stillness. But today, something felt different. When I saw the final salary payout hit my account, the reality of it all landed with more weight than I expected. There was this strange moment where I felt both rich and poor at the same time. Funny, isn’t it, how a single notification can stir so much?

After my walk, I met up with a former colleague, now friend and we caught up over coffee. She’s a mum of two, juggling life’s chaos with unwavering strength. Her ability to keep pushing forward, even in the midst of uncertainty, was a quiet spark of inspiration that lit something in me. It reminded me just how powerful it is to have a sense of purpose, to let that inner flame keep burning, even when the wind picks up.

The day unfolded with a productive rhythm, a pleasant meeting, financial overviews, a few unexpected tasks, rather busy, but fulfilling. At every step, there was support, guidance, and a reminder that I’m not navigating this path alone. And for that, I’m deeply grateful.

One curveball though.... An interview with an AI bot. Weird. Surreal. A bit like talking into a mirror that talks back, but politely. The future is definitely digital, and we’re all going to have to get used to the Avery's, Zara's, and Alexa's of the world. It was a reminder that the landscape is shifting, and we’re shifting with it.

All in all, today was full, of change, connection, and progress. A week that started uncertainly ends on a hopeful note. And as I step into the weekend, my heart is full of gratitude. For the people, the movement, the grace, and the continued unfolding of something I may not yet fully see, but trust is on its way.
