One Secret to Success as a Working Mom: Remember Kids Will Be Kids

on
At Atria's I have SO many incomplete blog posts that it's laughable. They're incomplete because I'll start writing them and then life happens. They're incomplete because in between my inspiration for the post and editing it, I realized that I had a sponsored post to complete. They're incomplete because some national event took precedence. They're incomplete because I realized that we needed milk, eggs, or some other essential and I just forgot about it. There are so many explanations about why they're incomplete that I could devote an entire series of posts to that. Instead, I'd like to share a post from several years ago about how my kids messed up my grandmother's birthday dinner...

My Quest for a "Big" Life...

on

Because of some recent blog entries, people have asked me whether I am seeking my own “Mr. Big”. That is a reasonable question. However, it is a misguided one.

Unlike Carrie, I don’t crave "Mr. Big". Instead, I crave a "Big" life. What I crave most is a life that defies gravity and convention. I crave a life that brings me happiness and satisfaction. I crave a life that feeds my soul and fills me with passion.

I love men. And I believe that the right man will enhance my life. Like salt, he will add flavor to those things that I already enjoy. However, he won't complete me. I’m no superwoman or raging feminist. I am just a woman who has learned that life is wonderful for its own sake.

Still, I shall continue to write about tales of men and romantic adventures. Romance is fun. The optimist in me believes that I shall meet the man who will end my quest. In the meantime, I shall enjoy the journey. If my Mr. Big comes knocking, I'll answer, but only to gain fodder for the blog. ;-)

I totally agree with you. It isn't wrong to think about love and romance, it feels good. What's wrong is if we limit our happiness to men, and if our eyes become blind to other joys available to us. We yearn fullness of life, meaning, purpose and the ability to bless other people. Keep it up! :-)
