Article on balancing work/motherhood

[violet]

Interesting article by an intelligent woman. I do believe that it requires a good income to be able to balance this sort of lifestyle; this woman is a doctor.

Her style of writing is very easy to read.

This is an interesting paragraph:

"To start, set personal and professional goals and plot a course toward achieving those goals. Look in the mirror and ask yourself, "Who am I, and what do I want to be? Do I want to be a department chairman? Do I want to have a national reputation? Do I want to be a parent? Do I want to work full- or part-time? Do I want to do research? Do I want to live in a rural or urban area?" and so on. There is no right or wrong answer to any of these questions; they are personal decisions. I periodically ask myself, "If something catastrophic happened to me today, would I have any overriding regrets about the way I have lived my life?" If you ask yourself this question and the answer is "yes," I encourage you to change something soon."

I found the article to be very insightful, and relevant to me in that she is discussing choices. We all, to at least some extent, have choices in life.
