A Working Mom's Choice

Twice a day, my decision to be a working mom is put to the test.  
The first is when I leave home in the morning.  The energy needed to overcome the inertia of being mommy-mode at home takes lots and lots and lots of coffee.  
The second is ironic because it's when I leave the office.  Because of traffic.  Manila traffic mocks me everyday:  you asked for this.  this is living the dream, baby.     So why do I do it?  
Mariel and Sanne of The Learning Basket asked me to write about why I made the choice to be a working mom.  These two moms are amazing homeschoolers, but we met purely through our online discovery of surprisingly common passions.  I've always been vocal that homeschoolers are my inspiration and I use many of their principles in my life as a working mom.
My answer wrote itself, and turned out to be intensely personal and related to the picture above.  Haha!  If you read it, I hope sharing its message brings you purpose and peace whatever life path you're on.  Thank you for being here, learning along with me!
