HARD QUESTIONS

This afternoon, on our way home from the math tutor, my daughter C asked me this question: "Who would you have married if you didn't marry daddy?"

At this point in my parenting career I've learned a few lessons, one of which is that after your kids gets to be about six, it's impossible to pull the wool over their eyes. Maybe it's the tone of your voice or your averted gaze when you're telling that "little white lie"--I'm not sure--but somehow they always know when you're not being straight with them.

Balance and Flex Divas Who Are Changing Your World

Love this post! Here's a great list of resources for working women craving balance. Must read!


A sea change is afoot in the world of women and work.

Some phenomenal women are at the forefront of this global movement. We blog and Twitter and Facebook, turn avatars into meetups and relationships, burn shoe leather and rack up air miles, teach and present and coach, and persist daily in our devotion to creating balance and equality. Results.

These women have been-there-done that in every sphere of influence. They are sisters, mothers, partners, friends. Board chairs, CEOs, frontline staff, contract workers, consultants, mid-level managers. They are artists, lawyers, activists, journalists, poets, and entrepreneurs.

No matter the niche, we all want one thing: Freedom.

  • Freedom to live into mothering as a choice and a profession.
  • Freedom to raise children or not raise children.
  • Freedom to choose our work style.
  • Freedom to be trusted and accountable for the results we promise.
  • Freedom to be fairly compensated.
  • Freedom to be unfettered by glass ceilings.
  • Freedom to be purposeful. To matter. To do good.

That's what women want.

Here are a few of the women and organizations who are lighting the fire daily to assure your wants and needs find voice and traction—advocates, activists, feminists and passionistas who are changing the way we work. Read more.
