Purple Women Koan
What is the question?
That is the answer.
The question I ask is,
What lies in between
Career Women and Mothers?
I propose there are Purple Women™.

I won't be participating as I'm not a purple woman, but just wanted to point out that I went to a Christmas party a couple of years ago where most of the people there were heterosexual couples in their thirties and forties. My husband and I were the only people there who actually *had* children! It was quite a surprise, even though almost all my friends from my youth are childless by choice. In conclusion I guess I'm a purple woman in reverse within my own particular demographic (early 40s, urban, educated, professional, west coast).
I wish you all well. I am not a purple women I have two kids and am definitely not a career woman.
Andrea, thanks for sharing your story. I think it will be helpful if from time to time we have visitors from women who have chosen to be mothers. It's really about choices in a way. Realizing we have a choice, and/or recognizing a choice we have made is some cases.
Anonymous, really appreciate your well wishes. Many thanks and please check back so you can weigh in on some of our dialogues from the Mom's perspective!
To everyone, please tell your Purple Women friends about us and "Blog on"!
