It is far easier to pretend to be perfect, but it takes real courage to accept our imperfections and to still see ourselves as someone worthy of love and respect.

My imagination and my curiosity have always been my best asset.

No. I won't. And you know what, I don't care.

Once upon a time, my life belonged to me.

Parental leave for new parents is wonderful.  For veteran parents, it's essential.

Motherhood is about becoming ready without being ready; it’s a state of constant adjustment. Some earth mothers might call this flow – for me it feels more like fits and starts.

Standing in the doorway to my garage on Christmas Eve was like staring into the aisles of Toys R Us.

Well I have had enough of the bullshit – enough of feeling I don’t come up to scratch – because I do.

While other eager new associates were hustling to impress the partners, I was trying to figure out how to tell them I was pregnant with my second child and that after my maternity leave I wanted to work part-time.

 It gets easier. You worked hard to get where you are professionally. You will have to work hard to get to where you want to be as a mom.
