June 15, 2010She turned the car – and her life around

I missed the mother’s day opportunity for this post, but I want to share Nettie Hartsock’s sweet story with you. It’s about a mom who just couldn’t go back to work after her maternity leave. When she walked back in the door seven minutes after leaving, she explained to her huband,

“I turned the car around.”

Her husband’s reply?

Sweetie, of course you turned the car around.

But they both knew she had turned her life around. She walked away from her career and was able to create another one that allowed her to be the kind of mother she wanted to be.

We all have to turn the car around from time to time.
