My Korean Intern

OK, some of you know I no longer have a car. When I was in Europe,
I let my Korean intern use my car for her driving test. She has an
international driver's license, but she wanted a U.S. driver's
license as a souvenir, so to speak. So, I willingly let her use my
car, and did what I had to do to be the responsible tax-paying
citizen I am, like put her on my insurance, etc. blah, blah

She totaled the car the day I returned.

Poor soul, she went down a one way street the wrong way and collided
head-on with another vehicle. Fortunately, everyone walked away
unscathed, except my car, of course. And, needless to say, she
didn't pass her driver's test.

But, something inside tells me I mentally caused this to happen.
Since March, I have been thinking about going green, and giving up
- gulp! - driving. I was researching ZIP cars and public
transportation, and how much money I would save.

Did I cause this to happen??!!

Well, I don't know about that, but I know this for sure: Some
people may look at this incident as "unfortunate" or
"horrible." My mother, for instance, nearly had kittens (her
favorite saying). But I look at this "challenge" as an opportunity.
Now I have the opportunity to 1) be green, 2) save money 3) stay
fit w/out going to the gym (The Streets of San Francisco are my
gym!!) and the very best one 4) walk hand and hand with my
daughter as I walk her to summer camp.

So, again you can't control outside circumstances or events, but
you can always control your response. And mine is positive.

Now, back to my intern, there were no hard feelings, of course. I
love my intern, and she was very helpful in facilitating selling
the rights of Goal Digger to a Korean Publisher. So Goal Digger
(www.goaldigger.com) will be translated and distributed throughout
Korea. Wow, fancy that!


Cheers!!
