An Article that Scares

I would like to read this book... this article hits on some of my biggest fears about career and family.

John and I have had this conversation multiple times.  My first desire in my life was not to have a family, but to have my career.  While this prioritization has changed, I am still passionate about having a successful, fulfilling career and a family.  But there is so much guilt that goes along with this.  And I have met plenty of people who think I will "change my mind" or cast judgement on me for my desire to make my career a high priority.  But I am not going to school to pass time until we have children.  I am certain we can make it work.
