People who think I sacrificed to stay home with my children have a skewed view of motherhood. I refused to sacrifice my children for the vanities of the world.

“In every act of selflessness, of loving sacrifice, of compassion,...we seem to be giving something away, to be robbing ourselves. The truth is that such acts enrich us and make us grow; this is the only way that leads forward and upward......Love alone gives life meaning. That is the more capable we are of loving and surrendering ourselves, the more meaningful our life becomes.” from Reflections by Herman Hesse
