Where I've been

[UPDATE BELOW]

I am at a bit of a standstill with Suburban CEO. Here's the scoop:

When I originally created the site, I wanted to make sure that the ideas for finding fulfillment outside of the workforce were as accessible to as many people as possible, so I tailored the message to a secular audience. I think that all the ideas as laid out on the site are really powerful and can go most of the way toward helping stay-at-home moms feel as excited about every day as anyone in the career world.

Yet, meanwhile, in my own life I found that these ideas alone weren't quite getting me all the way there. Close -- but not quite. There was still something that was missing, and that prompted me to start asking even bigger "what's the meaning of life"-type questions. At the time I was a lifelong atheist.

To make a long story short, my quest for finding deep fulfillment as a stay-at-home mom led to to a quest for deep fulfillment in life in general, and in asking the tough questions I came to believe in God. Today I guess I'm what you could call "religious." And now, my newfound beliefs inform every single aspect of life. I find that I can't write about much of anything -- let alone something as huge as motherhood -- without referencing religion.

As for Suburban CEO, I'm not sure where the site stands. I'm putting it on hiatus right now while I decide what direction to take the message. Also, I do have a blog in which I write about religion if anyone is interested. Email me (address on my profile) and I'd be more than happy to send you the link. (Emails from me usually end up in people's spam filters, so be sure to check your filter for my reply.)

I will probably resume updating this site at some point in the future. Until then, I wish everyone the best!


UPDATE: I am replying to all emails. So if you emailed me about the link and did not get a response, it is either because I did not receive your email (I get 500+ spam emails each day), or because my response got sent to your junk mail folder.

Jennifer,

Welcome, sister, to the family of God!

I understand you not knowing how to talk about your life without referencing your "religion" or rather your relationship with Christ. I pray that God shows you the way He wants to take your CEO site.
