How do you balance work and home life
I worked hard all my life. I was a single mom for 10 years during my working years and yes the balancing act was challenging. I wanted to ensure my daughter received the love and attention she needed while I still put food on the table.
I decided at one point that I would not become a high achiever in the workforce while a failure as a parent. So I made sure I handled each accordingly. I had a great job that I enjoyed which paid well. I didn’t have much overtime and I traveled maybe once or twice a month.
I married again and was able to spend more time with our collective children. Then they all grew up and I started a new career.
Money isn’t everything. I always made enough to live ok. Nonetheless, the most important thing was I enjoyed my work. That made for a happy home as well.
Now I’ve been retired for 9 years and my work is finding the next best trip!
Life is Grand!

I loved this. As a school teacher I saw so many single parents juggling themselves crazy. I am glad you made the right choices ❤️

I realized I had many years after my daughter was grown to make my mark but only each moment to experience her growing up
