What Does Success Look Like?

Yesterday was Housewife Day. Where or how this day originated is anyone's guess but if you search it, it does exist.

Housewives, including stay-at-home moms, working moms, and all women who are "in charge" of the home...you are the CEO, CFO, chauffeur, cook, teacher, janitor, housekeeper, laundry service, GM, referee, shopper... Need I go on?

Thank you for all that you do and continue to do.

"The current definition of success, in which we drive ourselves into the ground, if not the grave, and in which working to the point of exhaustion and burnout is considered a badge of honor, was created by men. It's a model of success that's not working for women, and it's not working for men either." -Arianna Huffington

And thank you to Salary.com for your yearly assessment and "What is a Stay-at-Home Mom Worth?". This is eye-opening and should give us all cause to appreciate what you do.

Look for my weekly blog providing insights on "Living a Black Belt Life". Please share this with your friends and family.

Thank you for this opportunity to serve you.
