Bagged

It’s in the bag When thinking over my therapeutic relationship with Mrs. Howell, I realized she made feel like I was favorite client; She’d helped me focus on the providence, that a job lost, was an opportunity gained. I was seeking life-coaching for an unscheduled career change. It wasn’t long before I realized every client probably felt the way I did about Mrs. Howell. By their 4th counseling session with her. Their confidence was unseated just as sure as mine was, by the mystery package session. A session where introduction to the brown paper wrapped box and bag were made. She literally said, Cassie Dearborn, meet Mystery Gift. ‘Huh’ was all I said, out loud. My inside voice: "Only way I’m interacting with brown bags and boxes like we are besties. is if I I’m hyperventilating and if that bag doesn’t work, I’ll be in tight with the box, but to be carrying on a conversation with either? Nah.
