Just a moment of gratitude. I am so thankful I have a very successful career that I can support myself on my own and that I am in general a pretty independent woman. I have the financial resources to be ok throughout this. Unfortunately, I don't have children/daughter, but if I did have a daughter, my current situation would certainly reinforce pushing the importance of having her own career, financial security, and independence. A friend and I were discussing this the other day as it relates to her daughter and how much she pushes that with her.
