I've worked for 24 years as a newspaperwoman. On April 23rd, 2010, I took a voluntary layoff from the Philadelphia Inquirer. Now, I would be a full-time Mom to my 13-year-old and a full-time wife to a husband I affectionately refer to as a Bossband.
I expect to have plenty of time to be a Lady of Leisure, given my son's teen age and my lack of domestic skills.
Follow me on my transformation.

A Parking Spot to Die For
Did you hear about this very cool garage in Center City Philly? Now a LOL could get used to that. Alas, one has to live at 1706 Rittenhouse Square Street. But we can dream, at least.
Lini, hey it's Angela from AARP... There is so much change happening and getting ready to happen over at the Inquirer. I am glad that you made the decision right for you. As a mom of 4year old twins.. there is no such thing as work-life balance. It is life and then work to pay the bills.... Please keep in touch with me...
Yes, who would have thought newspapers would be in such dire straights 25 years ago. I think journalists, and specifically the Inquirer ones, will survive. The industry needs to re-brand itself as information providers not newspaper providers. But I am glad I left when I did. Today, I exercised, worked on cleaning out my late parents' home, planted tomatoes and volunteered at my son's school. That's got to be worth as much as 35 inches on a Style & Soul topic.
