My post
Beautiful People,
“As the days passed, I understood I could not be a stay-at-home mom...I didn’t think being a full-time mom was better or worse than being a full-time career woman. There are women who feel happy and content being housewives while other women feel happier working full time. I had chosen to have a career, and I realized regardless of which choices I made, I could never ever have it all. I don’t think men or women can have it all. Besides, who wants to and is able to handle everything?” —The Opposite of Comfortable.
Celebrating Fridays until my May 17th book release with quotes from the book.
Today’s quote is from Chapter 2, New York, Old Love. When my husband was accepted into a two-year fellowship in NYC, I left my successful career as a system analyst in the largest telecommunication firm in Israel, my family, friends and my country, and joined him.
In Chapter 5, soon after we moved to NYC I didn’t recognize my life. I had little reason to wake up in the morning for anything. I didn’t need to get dressed, prepare my son for daycare, or rush to work. I had an empty schedule, empty apartment, and a great emptiness inside.
So I went outside to streets of New York and during my long walks in the city I realized that I cannot be a stay at home mom to my 18-month-old son. I felt a desire to go back to work, find a job, even a temporary one, only for two years. I applied for a social security number and planned to submit my work authorization papers. It was the beginning of the second week of September 2001.
XO,
Sharon
