Deal or No Deal!

Have you ever seen the TV show "Deal or No Deal"? My daughter has tuned in a few times and we are often captivated by the contestant's anxiety and excitement as they try to pick the winning suitcase ( with the million dollars inside). The pressure mounts: Deal or No Deal? the host pushes...and the contestant has to decide whether to take the money and run, or risk it all and "go for it". It seems like in today's craziness, we are all faced with our own "suitcases". Do you stick or do you walk? Do you go out on the limb or do you stay on the well-worn path?

Jobs all over the country are in jeapardy. It seems that no one is immune. In what feels like almost overnight, things have shifted and the temperature out there is uncertain. I am grateful for having had the opportunity to work flexibly and hope to maintain that status, by choice, not as a consequence of the economy. I'm hearing stories from all sorts of professionals that have a common theme: people are fearful and times are uncertain. My focus is on shoring up the various jobs I am fortunate to have. My wellness business is growing. People are still in need of what we have to offer, thankfully, and more are in need of ways to bring in extra income. Now, more than ever, I am glad to be my own "boss". What becomes of this is all up to me.
