Just a few long weeks ago, I found myself seemingly “without a job!” Was I suddenly one of those people I hear about every day? Visions of bread lines danced in my head. The news clobbered me (“not due to performance!”) on a Tuesday, just before April Fool’s. So, no one was joking.

I pushed the negativity down that nagged, “What are you going to DO!?” And went to work on selling me and expecting the best.
