You cannot be really first-rate at your work if your work is all you are. — Anna Quindlen. American author and journalist
The world is full of women blindsided by the unceasing demands of motherhood, still flabbergasted by how a job can be terrific and torturous.
If your success is not on your own terms, if it looks good to the world but does not feel good in your heart, it is not success at all.
The thing that is really hard, and really amazing, is giving up on being perfect and beginning the work of becoming yourself.
