 Virginia L. McBride writes: ""All the world's a stage, And all the men and women merely players" — so said Jacques in Shakespeare's "As You Like It." In our lifetimes, we shift from persona to persona as easily as we change clothes. We begin with son/daughter and gradually move toward father/mother, graduate, employee. We may also be soccer player, bridge builder, race car driver, computer guru, and on and on and on. The possible personae are endless. Many of us, however, assume that the "me," the "REAL me" of each persona is the same for all other personae. The challenge really comes when you want to change a persona that no longer "works" for you."
