Let me begin by saying that I have a hard time with “I.” It’s a strange statement to make, I know, but it’s true. Like many women, I’ve never been that comfortable holding center stage in most situations. I’ve seen my role as a supporting one, focusing my energy on the triumphs and struggles of my friends and family, so in telling a very personal story, I am learning to give the “I” a voice and in doing so I hope to offer a glimpse of light.

Many people are in the midst experiencing doubt and confusion in their lives. Due to change, uncertainty, and the inability to pay the bills, I was in overall survival mode a number of years ago and I’d like to share my experience of how I successfully made it to the other side.

Embrace the Artist Within

My heart was racing and felt as if it would leap out of my chest and onto the floor. In that moment, I thought to myself, “Do healthy 27 year-olds have heart attacks?” I thought I was dying. I couldn’t catch my breath and I couldn’t slow my heart down. I didn’t know what an anxiety attack was, but I soon came to understand that such an attack can occur to anyone under undue stress or anxiety and given the situation I found myself in, I guess it wasn’t all that surprising. The company I worked for had been paying all of the employees late over the last 6 weeks, but up to this point, we always got our money. On this particular Friday, the checks were already a week late and had been promised to us by noon, but instead we were told they would be delayed another 4-5 days. I wondered how I found myself in such a position.

On August 28, 1963 Dr. Martin Luther King addressed the nation’s capital with these eloquent words:

“In a sense we have come to our nation’s capital to cash a check. When the architects of our republic wrote the magnificent words of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, they were signing a promissory note to which every American was to fall heir. This note was a promise that all men would be guaranteed the inalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness…We refuse to believe that there are insufficient funds in the great vaults of opportunity to this nation….And as we walk, we must make the pledge that we shall march ahead. We cannot turn back…I say to you today, my friends, that in spite of the difficulties and frustrations of the moment, I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the American Dream.”
