Reflections on 9-11 and Gratitude For a Home Business

Your Listening to the Street Smart Wealth Podcast, show #92

Today is September 11, and I wanted to incorporate this into today’s show, because it was such a defining moment for so many of us. AS I look around at things today, it can be easy to feel like we’ve learned nothing from mistakes of the past, and that the world is crazy as ever.

And, it is also a time to reflect on the gratitude and abundance I feel in my own life, and for the choices I’ve made and the work that I do in Network Marketing and Direct Sales, and how it can affect others.

Welcome to the show!

We cover a lot of good stuff on these shows, and it’s one way I give back for all that this profession has given me.

So, where were you on September 11, 2001?

Kind of like the day the first man landed on the moon, for some, and the day JFK was assassinated, today, Sept 11 is right there with it.

I’m married to an American Airlines pilot. He was in the air, headed home, when it happened. He had no clue what was going on.

I had a running joke with my husband, as I had given up news and TV back in January, 1997. I always said - if something major happens, someone will call me. I won't miss out on the important stuff.

Sure enough, my phone blew up with calls shortly after 6am pacific time.

There were so many things that ran through my mind during that next 4 days, and beyond -

My children.

The empty skies, for 4 days. It was dreadfully silent and empty up there in the big blue yonder.

Something weird overtook me and I began to clean my house, like a crazy woman, while glued to the TV and news reports. I was obsessed. I'm talking MAJOR cleaning, like pulling out my washer and dryer and cleaning behind it, every baseboard, inside cabinets and so on - maybe I knew inside I would be moving.

Making the decision to move to California, and taking a loss - $25,000 - $30,000 on a new home we were in the process of building, but nothing compared to the loss of others, who had loved ones who would never return home. I was not walking around lower Manhattan with a photo of my husband, asking if anyone had seen him.

Paycuts and my defining moment of finally getting my business into high gear.

Gratitude. Finding the good in the ashes of September 11, 2001

Cubicles and owning one’s life.

Passionate about helping others, especially moms, finding my way in the empty nest.
