Glass Ceiling Crashed 1 year ago today

One year ago today I was walking down 6th Avenue to Bryant Park.  I had just spent 10 days in a hotel room amid a gorgeous New York autumn working on a huge project and wanted to take at least one carefree walk before catching my flight later that afternoon.  I was mid cross walk when I head a snap and looked up.  It seemed a huge piece of cardboard was wafting down on my and at the same time I realized it was a giant glass side of a skyscraper a voice in my head yelled run and I shouted “Run” and run me and other manhattenties did into oncoming traffic as glass and boards and nails shattered down around us.  As I ran all I could think of was that I had just spent 10 days away from my kids stuck in a hotel room and hadn’t finsihed my book and if this was it then I was really bummed.  I ran in heels and a suit and it was like I was in a time warp tunnel looking neither right or left just concerned about myself and getting out from under the hostile rain.  I vaguly registered shocked faces of drivers as I ran past their cars being showered by debry. I thought this is it?  My life ends like this under shattered glass on 6th avenue?   I landed under an over hang in a parking garage.  A guy who had been in the cross walk pulled me and said, hey you saved us! Thanks for shouting run!  I vowed then, having lived that my life would not continue in the same fashion and by January I was a WAHM (work at home mom) and by April I had written 24 Hours to Zero Down Marketing by August two more guides and by September most were launched.  I have not been back to New York, My life has changed and my focus in more online and duplicatable. I can work from Ireland, California or in my jammies in the hammock.  I know my kids better, I know myself better and only my husband misses the money — but I know him better too.  The dogs sleep at my feet while I work and I make dinner for my family most every night.  I took up tennis, water color, Irish Wolfhound breeding and Scuba.  One year later life is different and in January I will launch my dream book   Women Buy Everything — how the hot pink crashed the glass ceiling!    If I had been in New York today and the glass window had crashed on me and I had had to run what would I have thought?  I would have thought hey my life is better than it was last year and I really want to live!  1 year later my life is my own and though it is fraught with challenges I hadn’t before yet the opportunities are amazing! I like it when trauma changes life for good, it warms the cockles of my heart, I am glad I listened when the voice yelled run!  Run! Change your life!  All in all a very good year for the right reasons.

Friends launching in Europe, sniff, sniff

I am so jealous.  Power Strategies client, MyExpertSolution is in Europe now . . . granted with all the kids, 10 total, but how fun!  I am stuck here in the 100 degree dry heat of Salt Lake City, Utah, praying for rain!  Next week I will be in Ireland though, for the Dunmore East International Bluegrass Festival so all is well!
