#SmallTalk

Appendix!

3/31/2022

 
This is based on a post I shared on Facebook in February.

For many years, I’ve posted photos of the beautiful roses my husband Eric Hoppel has sent me for Valentine's Day. This year, they shared space with get well bouquets at Albany Med!

A few observations:
  • I'm grateful for skilled healthcare workers and strong antibiotics.
  • I read a lot of history / historical fiction. This story would have ended very differently not that long ago.
  • I work with such caring, generous people – most of whom I’ve never even met face to face! I’ve been buoyed by flowers, gifts, cards, emails … it’s really lifted my spirits.
  • Fortunately, I don’t spend a lot of time in emergency rooms, but over the past few months, I have. An alarming number of people who visit emergency rooms are not having a health issue, but a mental health or social safety net issue. How can we do this better?
  • Dear friends are a priceless gift.
  • Eric made good (and then some) on the vow he made 24+ years ago about sickness and health. I’m so fortunate to have him by my side.

​As a solopreneur, I am vulnerable to this kind of unexpected development. Fellow consultants – what’s your backup plan? Is there some kind of "BREAK GLASS IN CASE OF EMERGENCY" setup for client files, work product, login credentials???  Drop me a line, let's make #smalltalk!
