Reader, I had this grand, ambitious plan to finish the revised version of the Starter Guide for Career Moms so I could tell you about it in this week's newsletter. I had forgotten I was supposed to go shoe shopping this morning with my son before the birthday lunch with my mom. There goes the grand, ambitious plan to work on the starter guide and get it done before this newsletter gets sent...

I hope this gives you some food for thought about how you're approaching your career and life. Happy Sunday and I'm off shoe shopping! Sharon |
