I believe everything happens for a reason and that there are always signs given to you. I have had some signs sent my way that I need to change some things in my life right now. You know, I think it gets much harder as the children get older.

I haven't been on this msg board in a long time, but I came here today and just read this post - and I just want to say Darla, I think that is awesome!!! This is what you are all about - being there for your family. That's what I loved about your book when I read it. You are here to encourage us moms to be home for our family, to enjoy be "happy housewives", and if that means quitting a national radio show so you can have more time for your kids - KUDOS to you! You walk the talk. Thanks for keeping it REAL!

I do miss my show I must tell you. It's the age old struggle we all have as women when we want to do something but must put our families first. All of us here have made these decisions. We have all made sacrifices but it is worth it. It's the same cross road I came to when I quit my job when Connor was a baby. You all read my book. It was very hard for me to give up such a high end career. I used to scream at the television at the show that I should have been producing. But I wanted to be with my baby. And really in the grand scheme of things, none of that stuff is real. Even this internet world is not real. What is going on in our homes is. And how our children end up is our responsibility. I quit radio before and came back. Maybe I will go back again. So many women think quitting is end all be all. We can always reinvent ourselves. We can always go back. We can never get these years back though. And I truly believe these are the best years of my life. I am lucky that my husband can support me so what is the best way to use my time? How can I help my family? How can I help others? How can I help myself? Those are all my questions. And how can I serve God. Am I really doing what I am supposed to do? Maybe I am going through a bit of a mid life reflection, I won't say crisis, because I feel happy. But I don't feel content. In fact I feel frustrated at all the problems in our world. Which is why I feel the need to hunker down and protect my nest. I only have five years with my son before he leaves for college. It all goes by so quick. I just want to enjoy what is real, what I have, and how blessed I am. I used to yearn for the glory, the spotlight, the attention. Now that I am older I don't crave that at all. I realize I have all the attention I need from my family. We all get so caught up in what other people are thinking of us and our own need to feel accomplished. But ladies, look around at what you have accomplished.

I would LOVE it if you started the podcast again. I enjoyed your radio show, but I really miss your podcasts.
I love your message. I love being a stay at home Mom, but it is easy to get lost in my to do list and you remind me to stay in the now. Sheri
