Are you Wonder Woman?

(Cassie)

Except for the outfit and hair color, this looks just like me, on any given day of my career in corporate sales, just a few years ago! All a blur today.

Fighting off the competition.

Upholding good.

Abolishing evil (mostly within the management staff of MY employer!)

Defending the rights of the unheard and over-goaled.

I could leap tall quotas in a single bound and was considered by most, the fearless leader. She who would carry the heavy load of complaints and demands up the perilous corporate ladder, to the attention of the enforcers.

That was my “super life.” Wonder Woman indeed. I often wonder how I made it out alive.

During the off hours (which were few and far between), I was mild-mannered Cassie Schindler. Mother of two, wife of one,  jogger, shopper, cooker, cleaner, kiddy carpooler, homework helper, laundry folder (except socks! I don’t do socks!), team mother, PTA-goer and chardonnay connoisseur.

I used up all my super powers to juggle these roles and to appear on the outside, like I had it all together on the inside. Not so!

Alas, the “WW” on my chest took on a new meaning, “weak and weary.”

But how does one escape the super heroine role, when so many depend on her for their existence, and clean underwear?

Is there a Wonder Woman in your life?

Is it you?

Are you Wonder Woman?

How’s that going for you?
