But it's not until she fights her way to the top that she actually realizes how lonely being at the top can be.

Tatiana Whigham

Tatiana Whigham is currently still a teacher at heart; Tatiana is a local financial professional. Having been born as an Army Brat, Tatiana has had the sheer pleasure of meeting people from all different walks of life. Being born in Germany herself, she had not only the opportunity to see the world, but to also see life through the eyes of a different perspective. It is in the midst of these very experiences that Tatiana began to write. Tatiana’s writings are meant to expose the true emotion, fears, and pressures that we do our best to hide on a daily basis. Through writings such as these, we hope that this really encourages someone to pray a little harder and to have faith a little longer.

Trish

Geesh, it’s almost half past six and Brian’s still not here. We only have thirty minutes to get to the church, and traffic is going to be a mess. Peeking out of the window yet again, there's still no sign of him.

Taking a deep breath, I try my best to ease the situation by saying, It’s okay Trish. Just relax; he’ll be here. Talking more to myself than anything, I mumble, Uhhhh, the nerve of some men! Of all of the nights, he had to pick tonight. He knows that tonight is our annual leadership conference. I’ve finally been promoted to Lead Evangelist of the Outreach ministries and I’m beyond excited. There were three candidates up for the job and the committee chose me; the only female in the bunch! Tell me that women aren’t meant to lead. In all honesty, I had to sacrifice a lot to get this position. With all of the long hours, working on weekends, and all out constant devotion to the cause, I know that I’ve really put my marriage in a rut, but I mean, Brian should understand. Women sacrifice their dreams and goals for men all of the time. And with me being the breadwinner of the relationship, he’s got to understand that I’ve been doing all this for us. I knew that he had a deep passion for automotive and mechanics when I married him three years ago, but let’s face it, there’s no way that we can live off of a $1,200 a month salary. With three fresh model cars, totaling up to $2,200 in car payments and car insurance along with this brand new mortgage (roughly totaling to about $1,800 a month), it’s clear that I’ve been the one pulling the weight financially. But again, I knew that my job would have to carry the household. But lately Brian's been killing me with this I’m the head of the house crap. If you want to be the head of the house, then you first have to lead by example. I mean, I can’t help the fact that I make over $200,000 a year as the District Manager for Barker's Reality. I started my path at the bottom of the ranks with no college degree and in as little as ten years, I’ve soared to the top in both the church and my career. If anything, he should be nothing but proud of me.

Checking the driveway again, still nothing. Jesus, how long does it take to go downtown and back? Glancing at the clock again, it's ten minutes ‘til. Why Brian, why? as I crash on the nearest sofa. Maybe it’s my fault. I probably should’ve told him about the job. But I know Brian; he’ll only try to talk me out of it. I can hear him
