This article is timely, as it comes on the heels of two encouraging conversations I had today about life, goals and convictions.

Sometimes I wonder if “work/life balance” isn’t a misnomer, b/c being a mother, boss and employee are not separate & distinct parts of my life. They influence each other in [what I hope is, at least] a positive manner and contribute to who I am as an individual.

I am a professional who happens to have five kids. Neither has to suffer for the other to succeed. I don’t think of myself as a wave-maker, but perhaps I am a mold-breaker, and you know what? I think that’s ok.
