Equity does not exist in households where women make more!

Mom with kids on vacation "Female breadwinners face a much higher risk for burnout, infidelity, and divorce."  When She Makes More ,  Farnoosh Torabi Prince is one of my favorite artists. And, I think that it is genius that the beginning of his famous song, "Let's go crazy" mimics a marriage ceremony. It makes you wonder whether he was suggesting that marriage itself was a path to insanity. If you have forgotten the beginning, here you go, "Dearly beloved, We are gathered here today, To get through this thing called "life" Electric word, life, It means forever and that's a mighty long time, But I'm here to tell you  There's something else..." He writes the afterworld in the blank. However, a recent study suggests that "marriage" could be inserted in its place, especially marriage for high earning women.

Memories from Mexico

on


On Friday, June 29th, I took the trip of all trips. I traveled to Mexico on a solo vacation. It wasn't one of those let's get freaky trips. Rather, it was one of those let's get clarity trips.

I enjoyed every moment of the trip. I planned every detail. I bought a first class ticket so that I could begin and end my trip in style. I packed earlier in the week, organized every outfit, every activity, and I began my trip full of hope.

My goal was relaxation. I brought books with me. And I intentionally did not research the city. What was the point if I wasn't going to venture beyond the resort, right?

I stayed true to my plan. I relaxed a great deal. I read. I enjoyed the pool. And I got to practice my Spanish.

It was a nice change to be inspired by own life. You see, I am generally talker. I speak and dream about those things that I'd like to do, but I don't often act on them. I've been reassured by the fact that I have this talent, this intellect, and this potential.

I realized on vacation that if I want the life that I want, I need to start living it instead of thinking about it.

The million dollar question is whether I have the courage to do it.
