When I had decided to quit my job and be a homemaker, the choice was quite difficult. Giving up my identity of being a professional and financial independence was not easy. People found me unwise leaving a well-paid and stable job but I wanted to live my motherhood to the fullest. So, my husband and I took the decision and I put my papers. It was then, when one phase of my life ended and I headed towards a new genesis.

Now, smile on the faces of my children and their happiness of being around me is my salary. A calm mind is my bonus and enormous love is my reward. Giving up my job never disheartened me. I was enjoying every bit of being at home. I used to remain busy throughout the day taking care of family and other household chores. But, somewhere, I wanted to engage myself in something that would keep my instinct alive. Considering my knack for writing, my husband motivated me to make a move and this was how I started writing.

At present, along with my motherly commitments I am discovering myself in this new venture. I have just begun my journey and there is a long way to go. My love for writing will certainly keep me moving to achieve my dreams.

Life brings us opportunities every now and then. It is up to us how we make use of it. We as a women generally make webs around us and keep stuck in them in the name of family, kids, work, society and so on, but in the middle of all this we forget about ourselves. Ladies, finding time for yourself is not wrong. No matter whether you are working or a homemaker, try to take out few minutes from your busy life to be just you. Follow your heart, live your passion, open your wings and fly. Trust me, your life will become more beautiful.
