I Go Around The Room And Ask

I Don't Hold Myself Out As A Role Model. I Don't Believe That Everyone Should Make The Same Choices; That Everyone Has To Want To Be A Ceo, Or Everyone Should Want To Be A Work-at-home Mother. I Want Everyone To Be Able To Choose. But I Want Us To Be Able To Choose Unencumbered By Gender Choosing For Us.

Grief Comes And Goes, It Ebbs And Flows. I Think One Of The Lessons Of This For Me Is That There's No One Way To Grieve. Everyone Does It In Their Own Way, In Their Own Time, And We All Process Life And Its Challenges And Its Ups And Downs As They Come.

What About The Rat Race In The First Place? Is It Worthwhile? Or Are You Just Buying Into Someone Else's Definition Of Success? Only You Can Decide That, And You'll Have To Decide It Over And Over And Over. But If You Think It's A Rat Race, Before You Drop Out, Take A Deep Breath. Maybe You Picked The Wrong Job. Try Again. And Then Try Again.

I Think Now Is Our Time. My Mother Was Told By Everyone That She Had Two Choices: She Could Be A Nurse Or A Teacher. The External Barriers Now Are Just So Much Lower. If We Start Acknowledging What The Real Issues Are, We Can Solve Them. It's Not That Hard.

I'm Not Telling Women To Be Like Men. I'm Telling Us To Evaluate What Men And Women Do In The Workforce And At Home Without The Gender Bias.
