It was at a time when it wasn't that popular and a lot of women who chose that route were defensive about their choice but I wouldn't have d one it any other way. And, like you, I am now taking care of grandkids and I love that too. Nothing more important that we could do than to nurture the lives of children. Thanks so much for this post. As you can tell, a lot of us identified with it. terriporterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14333055591899961253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7068408751309289035.post-54869996359855566132012-09-06T10:11:39.868-07:002012-09-06T10:11:39.868-07:00Thank you for sharing this.

They're grown now, I'm back at work and will never "catch up" career-wise, but I do not regret a moment. I know this was the right decision for me and my family.

And I am a real advocate for truly following what feels right. When it feels right, it IS right. heyjudephotographyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06098165048025314116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7068408751309289035.post-86959698017752853452012-09-06T05:57:30.684-07:002012-09-06T05:57:30.684-07:00What a lovely share!

Our inner connections are wired differently ... and we would be wise to pay heed to where they lead. I'm so glad you were aware if your internal wiring.
