Many women who leave the workplace to raise children become isolated and depressed. As you might have read in my article in Reader's Digest, my friend Jennifer is different. She realized that having a community, preserving her relationships, and making new friends was going to be as important to her happiness at home as it was to her success at work. And she is rocking!

Check out her site SuburbanCEO.com, which attracts so many other mothers dealing with the same issues of leaving the workplace or perhaps having never been in the workplace and trying to fit in with friends who have more "professional" careers (as if being a mom isn't difficult enough).

I love the name SuburbanCEO, and I love the tagline: Because you don't need a career to have it all!

Also, if you got a chuckle out of the story in Never Eat Alone about why I don't send Christmas cards anymore (the jist: a friend from college got three cards one year with different signatures!), you have to read this entry from the SuburbanCEO blog.
