A LETTER FROM THE EDITOR


ARE YOU “LUCKY”?


Recently, I was in conversation with a group of people. During the discussion, I shared some exciting professional news. After hearing what I said, one woman rolled her eyes and remarked sarcastically, “You are so lucky … everything always happens for you and is so easy!”


I looked at this person, processing what she just said and in the manner in which she stated it.


In my head my voice screamed, “What on God’s good earth are you talking about?! Do you have any idea what my life is like?” I didn’t respond but it got me thinking.


Many people are under some delusion that things “just happen” for others. That there is some mysterious fairy that grants favor for one and heartache for another. That some people are chosen and blessed and others are doomed, a victim of circumstance. Well, I’m here to tell you, nothing could be further from the truth!


We all have loss, setbacks, heartbreak, and disappointments – things that rock us to our core. But, it’s what WE do in those times that makes us “lucky”, or makes us someone who believes everyone else is “lucky”.


Case in point. Eight years ago, my life was ripped to shreds.


My marriage ended after 23 years. For 20 of those years, I was a stay at home, work from home wife and mother who had given up my career to care for my family. With the divorce, I was left a single mom with no viable means of support.


I was a 45-year-old woman with limited professional experience and no idea of how I was going to earn a substantial salary.


At the same time, my mother and sister died, leaving me an orphan as my father and brother had already passed. I had no one to lean on who would back me up the way a parent or sibling could. There was no family support. Every day I feared that I would end up homeless.


I was depressed, lonely, scared, fearful and defeated.


Then, there was a spark within me and I had an idea about something I wanted to create. I didn’t know how to do it but, against all odds (and reason), I ran with it. During the development of what I wanted to achieve, I encountered people who lied to me, conned me, used me, cheated me, mocked me, abandoned me, talked about me, disappointed me, and did just about any horrible thing you can imagine.


I could have let those people destroy me, but I chose to be “lucky”.


When others said I knew nothing about business, I founded not one, but two companies!


When I was ridiculed for having a dream, I created and hosted a radio show that has been airing for seven years and is now on the #1 AM news/talk station in the New York market and streams on iHeartRadio!
