March 2020 was one of the most devastating months during last couple of years after my nasty divorce. I felt all my past lives karma, all my current life teachers, all my weaknesses and failures were attacking me from the left and right, testing me if I’ve learned my lessons indeed. It sounded like Universe is inviting me to an unfair battle of lecture vs. exam without even giving me a chance to prepare beforehand. Probably you felt the same heaviness on your chest that something so dreadful is approaching but you are so frightened and do not have the courage to confront the issue for fear of discovering something you won’t want to know and just seeking an excuse to run away as far as possible and you dash and crash, hit the wall so hard that you end up having a concussion!
Being a professional CPA, managing an accounting department of a large restaurant franchise , taking care of three minor monsters as a single mom, maintaining the career, house, school and my sanity in a rushed paced life style in California with support of almost nobody in my life, I was just missing COVID-19 catastrophe in middle of all these joggling balls. Negativity was pouring from everywhere, news media, colleagues, family members and even from my most optimistic friends. However, not to boast about it, I have trained my brain to switch off the button when I don’t need to hear, or to see or even to acknowledge the condition regardless of the magnitude of the situation. So, I was preparing myself and visualizing the positive possibilities of COVID-19 life style in near future, such as homeschooling, working remotely, no more daycare tuition, no more gas and mileages, no more night outs and wasting money, more quality of time with your beloved ones and saving money after all. You know as an accountant we always cook the book, as long as it ties to your expected outlook, we’re off the hook😊
