Inspired

I meet some great professional moms from across North America this past week. Had an opportunity to share with them some of my story as a Mom and as an academic. It was such a wonderful experience. Thank you to each one of you who allowed me some window into your personal and professional life.

Of so many thoughts, feelings and concerns raised for me at my conference was the significance of sharing of mother's stories. I encourage anyone interested to check out the soon to be released The Maternal Is Political: Women Writers at the Intersection of Motherhood and Social Change edited by Shari MacDonald Strong.

I enjoyed hearing the stories of some of the women featured in the above collection. I hope more of my story will be revealed as I post more often than I have lately! I appreciate the comments posted and would love to have more coming...
