Wow. Haven't been around here for a good 3 months. Crashing computer contributed to that. Its amazing how attached one becomes to the computer. Without it, I felt cut off and isolated. In my stay-at-home mom life choice, the Internet has been a major source of connection to others. And I am talking on many levels: the winter bike listserv that fuels my cycling spirit; email for contact with friends and family; Facebook for socializing and networking from a distance; Google for curiosity searches.
So with no computer and weather too cold and icy for riding with the wee one I hit the winter doldrums hard. Thankfully, I am moving on. Still not on the bike with the wee one but am back in computer land and am emerging from seclusion...and not just through the Internet.
The past month and a half has brought significant change with my decision to return to the workforce. I remain a stay-at-home mom but have started a business as a fashion consultant. Perhaps I should say image consultant...that is part of the goal I am working toward at any rate.
And throughout this process I plan to remain true to the values and lifestyle choices of our household:
Good health
Lifestyle inclusive of physical activity...aikido, bicycling, running, hiking trips, etc.
Positive relationship with my husband
Positive relationship with my children
Time to spend with my family
Mindfulness
Okay, maybe some have slipped in the past 3 months but I am back on track now.
