Good Things to Come From the Pandemic

This is a list I started quite a bit ago when I started getting more into LinkedIn. For someone who was always so scared to speak or write publicly, putting out the “real” me to so many was terrifying. Anyhow, once I overcame that mental block, the creativity just flooded out…all so positive! If you’ve known me most of my life, most would think I’m medicated. Promise. I’m not. This is what passion looks and feels like.

So on that positive note, I started my list of GOOD THINGS TO COME FROM THE PANDEMIC. It will just keep running. For today, freedom from the office environment allows me to start my road trip tomorrow with my sons. My only job - keep you fine folks in my world.

It was March, 2020 and the managing partner hinted that I may need to find another job...soon. But I only started a few months ago! My resume? My family? What am I going to do now?? I have always desperately needed to be a W-2 employee. I needed that cushion or my anxiety would overwhelm me. Fast forward to now. I literally just finished a due diligence project and, for the first time in my working life, I don't have a regular income. I couldn't be happier. I have so much to offer just being myself.
