Rogers Being Paid Half in the First Round and Sometimes Parents Don't Always Know What's Best
Monday, December 31st
During morning meditation, I asked my Spirit Guide Somoya, what I needed to know for today. I then heard an internal voice say, "Rogers being paid half in the first round." Then I heard, "Sometimes parents don't always know what's best."
The first message from Somoya doesn't make any sense to me, if it is referring to Arron Rogers, the quarterback for the Packers. He just signed a four year contract fall of 2018, making him the highest paid quarterback. The Packers did have a terrible season this year. They fired their coach three games before the end of the season. They traded two great players half way through. The Packers played one of their worst games the last game of the season, getting shut out. It would be a major shocker to have Rogers break his contract and play for another team.
Possibly it is referring to another Rogers. So, out of curiosity, I did do a Google search on other Rogers. Eventually, I came across a professional tennis tournament called the Rogers Cup . It stated that women are literally paid half the prize money in comparison to men! This is ridiculous and extremely unfair. This information came from the website Tennis Planet.me. I shared this info with my wife and son. My wife stated, "I am not surprised." My son stated, "That is wrong. That is like when they separated black people from white people. All people should be treated the same and paid the same." He is eleven years old.
It then dawned on me that I am also discriminated against. I am paid literally half in comparison to my case manager colleagues, due to not having a college degree. I carry a small caseload, which it not the role of my profession. I am treated and expected to act like a pseudo case manager, but I don't have the credentials to be a case manager. I am excellent at serving the people in need in our community. This is why I was pushed and encouraged to take on this role. Over the years I have been told I am great at what I do by my colleagues and upper management, yet upper management refuses to financially compensate me for my skill-set, due to lack of college education. I have life experience, which is needed for my position, and 10 years of work experience in behavioral health. I have worked five years outpatient and five years inpatient psych.
Thanks to Somoya, I finally see my financial worth, even if others don't, or are not willing to compensate me for it. Moving forward, I am going to feel confident about the financial value of my life experience, past work experience, and professional skill-set. I am going to request that I be equally financially compensated when I apply for a new position at another agency. I am going to be paid the same as those with college degrees. This will help me let go of resentment that I harbor at my current employment.
The second message from Somoya, "Sometimes parents don't always know what's best.", was very clear to me from the beginning. I am going to visit my mom's plot for the first time later today. She past away two years ago. I have had mixed feelings since her death.
I struggled with my relationship with my mom. We were both very co-dependent. This began when she started to loose her vision due to glaucoma. I was only 8 years old. Over the years, we were either very enmeshed or I was fighting hard to gain independence and discover my own identity. The latter led to me needing to distance myself from my mother for long periods of time. The distance and boundaries resulted in hurt feelings for my mother.
I was very fortunate and grateful to make peace with my mom moments before she died. After two years of grieving, I now realize with the help of Somoya, that my mother did her best. I need to cut her and myself slack. I am a parent too. I am making mistakes with my son as I raise him. I too am trying my best.
