IT WILL BE OKAY - Perhaps that's what this book should have been
titled. "It will be okay," were the very words said to Poodessa
when she was just a little girl. They were spoken to her, by her
Grandmother, during one of the most trying and heartbreaking
moments of the young girl's life. They are words that carry her,
even today. But know this, that is the only glimpse, well, that and
the mention of some macaroni and cheese, that you get of her
childhood. This, as Grandma would say, is about seeing the glass
half full. You see, this is a story about believing, faith and
moving forward. The 80's gave us a Princess and the 90's introduced
us to Beyonce, but move over because the next decade gave us
Poodessa. And just who is this Poodessa? She's you. She's every
woman who wanted something better, to be better. She's every woman
who wanted to take a chance and follow her dreams, and maybe, just
maybe, make them a reality. This is a story about a journey, though
a lifetime in the making, that starts off during The Great
Recession. In addition to faith and humor, it is a tale woven with
Grandma's proverbs and truisms. Grandma always said, "You just have
to have faith." Well, thankfully, Grandma said many things. Oh
yeah, being we are in a society consumed with frippery, Poodessa
cleverly references celebrities. How is it that celebrities are
somehow more special? This story begins in Michigan at the start of
The Great Recession. It commences in Atlanta, culminates on the
internet and will conclude with a speech. Poodessa's Pragmatic
Practices is as much a story of most of us as it is the human
touch. It doesn't matter much what your profession, income or
family status is. While we are all experiencing the same
challenging economic times, it is rather uncanny, yet comforting,
to see how, though we are all so different, we are all too
familiar. It matters not if you are an elite athlete, a Hollywood
legend or a janitor, nobody goes through life unscathed, and we
could all use a little encouragement, laughter and a reminder of
faith to get through it. Oh, the things Poodessa does From getting
a job, losing a job, endless job hunting Thank goodness her
hairdresser uses his talents to make her feel better. And who
doesn't feel better with great hair Poodessa even tries out to be a
cheerleader for the NFL. Does she end up the next Laura Vikmanis?
She finds odd jobs and a colorful mix of goodhearted people in
between. Next comes flight attendant training. Poodessa missed the
final by one lousy point. So how does it all end up? As Grandma
would, again, say, "It's time to pee or get off the pot." Well,
it's time to get off that pot Does Poodessa find a job, make the
NFL squad, become an entrepreneur? This is a true story about
believing, ingenuity, faith and giving back. After the preamble,
promise yourself that you won't be afraid to laugh.
