Falling Back? or Moving Forward – Rosie O’Donnell
I will never forget a story that I heard about a conversation that Rosie O’Donnell had one day with her mom.
Rosie more than anything else, wanted to be a comedian, and her mom (as moms do) cautioned her about how hard it is to make a living in that line of work.
“You’ll need something to fall back on,” her mom said. And Rosie brilliantly replied: “Yeah, Mom, but then I’ll fall back!”
This year, I allowed my CPA credential to become Inactive. I no longer desire to do that kind of work. Like Rosie’s Mom, mine was worried about my future. “Get a job” she says, so you’ll have something to fall back on.”
And my reply (which I say to myself – in order to keep the peace?)……. You guessed it!
