This week, I turned 39!! 🎂 And even though I had the best laid plans of drinking champagne and watching the season finale of Tell Me A Story (#quarantinebday), life had other plans. Grandma wasn't feeling well so my plans had to change. Sure I will still have my champagne and watch my tv show, just not when I thought I would. And that is so hard and I found myself a bit cranky because of it. But after sitting with it for awhile (and getting a better night's sleep), I realized it's not the end of the world. So I watch my show later, no big deal. In the grand scheme of things, it's not that big a deal.And I think it's what we are dealing with as this virus is changing our lives, our plans, our routines. We are rightfully angry and sad and depressed. And we have to feel those feelings. But maybe this is an opportunity for us. A chance for us to work on our ability to adapt. And go with it. That has been a recurring lesson for me over the past year. Because you never know how quickly things can change. And that is not something we can control. What we can control is how we react to sudden changes in income, how we honor the memories of our loved ones, and how we take care of our mental health along the way. It's a lesson I take from dancing too: keep your knees bent. When you knees are bent, it makes it a lot easier to pivot to another move or make a turn. It's much harder to do if your knees are locked. You can fall or hurt yourself.So think about keeping your knees bent both figuratively and literally. It might help you strengthen a muscle that will serve you well beyond this pandemic. 💖On to the picks!P.S. I've been working behind the scenes tweaking a "pick my brain" / day of mentoring offer. You'll be able to ask any and all questions relating to tech, time management, life, or anything else related to side hustling. This will be super low cost, as I’m just trying it out, in exchange for $5 and a testimonial. The only requirement is that we do it before May 8th. 3 spots available. Learn more here.
