Awwww the feeling of just running in the background with no destination in sight… No obligations…. No bills…. No worries…. Just the joy of playing and enjoying the moment. When did women stop feeling it was okay to “play”? I see this all the time in the eyes of women I know: friends, clients, people who write to me on the Internet. Hard merits reward, while joy brings guilt. Just like we cannot be grateful and hungry, we are also not allowed to be lighthearted and dedicated. Any deviation from our primary roles as woman, mother, wife, professional beg the question: is she really committed? Is she doing what's best for her kids? Is she losing her mind? |
