One Secret to a Working Mom's Success: Keep Standing

Me, standing in Barbados Those of us who live our lives out loud on the internet subject ourselves to scrutiny. Some comment, "Nobody's life is perfect. These posts must be fake," Those making those comments might even be close to us because they "know our business" and they whisper and gossip and say, "she's so fake".  To those who may read my blog and make such comments, (the trolls) know that I hear you, see you, and completely disagree. 

My Quest for a "Big" Life...


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! :-)
