With that, am I headed in the direction set out before me?
Have I really read the letter inside of me?
Is there more to read?
I'm in a place - a good place - far different than I thought I would be 20 years ago. It's amazing how I saw success & contentment differently back then. It all seemed so obvious and simple. Then my focus went down a path that I never considered and yet now I can't see how I couldn't have!
What defines me?When you're a stay-at-home Mom and the little work that you do outside of the home isn't utilizing your college degree, does your family life define you?
Am I a Mother & Wife before anything else?
If not, what is that "else"?
There are two questions that, when asked incorrectly, in my eyes, annoy me.
1) "Where are you from?"
and
2) "What do you do?"
Is someone's career their destiny, their success? - Who they are?
Have I since then failed to complete my life?
Is it ok to be happy with how life is?
I can strive to be nice, generous & patient.
I can focus on a happy life, happy children, happy family...
Can happiness be an adequate measurement for success?

Great post. Those two questions can make me feel uncomfortable as well depending on the tone.
I love your photos. They are so artistic.
I think the Begin family is lucky to have you! I so enjoy reading your blog and viewing your beautiful photos. As for being successful in an area that wasn't your chosen field or in a way you hadn't imagined you would be, what a gift! Life's the journey, not the destination. I am a firm believer in success being whatever makes you and your family happiest. Welcome to "40" by the way, it isn't so bad, huh?
