So here's the thing that some of you dont know.
In order for me to do my 'heart work' the celebrancy, the charity work, in the way I want to (limited so you get the attention you deserve whilst I protect my heart) I also need to work in a job that pays a salary, a pension etc.
For the majority of my time as a celebrant that's been due to the NHS. In recent years working with and for autistic people and people with learning disaabilities.
But recently I got caught in the changes this government implemented. And at the same time a new role was advertised. So I applied.
Because of what I've been gifted and learnt from the people I've worked alongside I got it.
Today was my first day. I'm now an employee of the Church of England.
What does that mean for you?
Nothing. My practice doesnt change. You get the same care, consideration and love with your ceremonies you always did. If you want a bit of faith in it, nay bother. If you dont...nay bother.
I've never hidden my faith. But it's mine. When I get married/die then I will have God involved (I mean...I'm hoping I get the Abbey now.... right??...) When you get married/name your child/ die...its your right to choose.
I will always be your celebrant. But I'm also the Reverend Peter Robson's daughter. Churchwarden Carol Lea's child. And from my first day...I think I'm home.
(Also if being in London once a month means theatre trips and out to play with Brian...bring it on...)
