I'm every-woman. Every woman that is over the age (or approaching) fifty with no children and who has never been married, that is. I have more than a handful of female friends whose journeys have bore much similarity to mine. My guess is that if I have more than a handful, then they probably do too, and so on... This blog aspires to effectively represent the voice of many women who, like me, have made alternative choices for their lives. Don't get me wrong, I feel that being single and without children has it's great advantages, but every single, mid-life woman questions herself on this topic at one point in her life or another. She wonders if she should have just married one of those guys along the way, one who was available to her, so that she could have raised a family of her own. She wonders if she has been hoping for and expecting too much out of romantic relationships. Has she been looking for something that doesn't really exist? Will she ever feel complete without experiencing the joys of motherhood? Is she enough? Is she still beautiful? Is she just plain "missing out?". Call me crazy, but I don't think so...
