I’m with you Nicole. I miss the team environment and contributing to something bigger than my own self interests as a work-at-home, solo business owner. Sure, I help my clients and their companies, but since I work largely as a contractor/consultant, I blow in and out of companies without being able to be a part of the on-going success. Ah…just one of the reasons I’m going back because the decision wasn’t a quick one. Thanks for your support!

Exactly! I’m finally figuring out why they don’t hand out mom manuals when you bring your baby home – there would be a different one for each mom. Thanks for your well wishes!

I appreciate your comment Tami – thank you. It is hard to follow that little voice especially when the voices of the media and others are so loud (and negative to some extent). But with faith and action, I do believe that we can achieve what we want. So I press on!

Yes! There is researched evidence that supports your assertion Nancy and think it might even be higher – you have a 75% or more chance of meeting your goal by writing it down. Thank you!

I thought you made a lot of really interesting points in your post. I just spotlighted it in my blog at The Toronto Star. (See link above.)

I’ve thought about this one. I just returned to the office (2x a week) after five years. And here’s the thing. I love it. I missed the team atmosphere and working on large-scale projects. I don’t know where it will lead as it is a start up venture, but in the back of my mind I cannot ignore the possibility of ramping up my career a lot sooner than anticipated. Good luck with the job.

I come to realize that there isn’t any set way we as moms need to keep to. If your spirit moves you to work outside the home at this point then follow it and see. No matter what you chose I know you will always put the best interest of your family first. Well wishes!
