| LETTERS NEW!! Dear siliconmom: I am an MBA mom who took 10 years off the career track to travel the world with a spouse's career and raise 3 children. I took a big gulp when I left my job, 30, pregnant and jumped into a new life. I have always been confident about my abilities and have taken courses to update my computing skills...etc I am trying to reenter the career track but am having a very hard time being taken seriously. My resume is viewed as odd. It appears inconsistent to be passionate about your career and then passionate about raising your children. Any insights? ANON. MOM We hear you sister! Please send us your email and we can talk further... If YOU have any views on this you'd like to share, click on the button below: *** |

| PEACE ON EARTH Dear Alison & all siliconmoms With all the uncertainty in the world at the moment, we could all do well to follow this old Chinese Proverb: If there is right in the soul, There will be beauty in the person If there is beauty in the person There will be harmony in the home If there is harmony in the home There will be order in the nation If there is order in the nation There will be PEACE IN THE WORLD Peace, Love and Light to you all Kate Thompson, Scotland |
