While I am speaking mainly to women, this may apply to some men as well. Ladies, did you get married with the idea of the both of you having your careers, working, saving money, traveling and living happily ever after? But life has its way of throwing surprises at us. Lets say for instance you are 2 or 3 years into your marriage and everything is going great. Then you discover you are pregnant! While you are overjoyed with the prospect of the pitter patter of little feet running around your house, the reality sets in that to be a really good mom, you are going to have to take some time off from work. No big deal, that can be done. You'll take 6 months off, then head back to the wheat fields bringing in the dough. But after the baby is born, and 6 months have come and gone, you realize you cannot leave your precious little darling. So you make the decision to stay home a couple of more years.

Surprisingly to you, a June Cleavor mentality takes over. You love being home; preparing meals, being a mom, and all that means. Your life gets busier; 3 more kids, and life pace takes on a whirlwind of soccer meets, PTA meetings, basketball games, car pools and more. Now fastforward 20 years later. Your kids are grown and are either married or away at college. What was once your fast paced life has now slowed down to the crawl of an empty nester! The question is, "now what do I do?"

For many in this life stage it means finding fresh meaning and significance for your life. You realize as you get older that you want your life to count for something. You re-evaluate what is most important as far as your values are concerned. You ask yourself, "How can I make a substantial difference in the world? For many, this means re-entering the world force. After staying home for 20 years, a whole generation of newbies has entered the marketplace. What could you possibly have to offer?

While there are many different answers to this question, and only you can answer it correctly. I can offer a few suggestions. Consider the whole of your life. What does it add up to? It could be time to make a difference in other people's lives. Bless them with your wisdom and love, or help them succeed in whatever capacity you can. For me I do all of the above. I have taken on a Home-Based Business which will help me finance my endeavors. Home-Based Business is something any mom, young or mature can do. This is just a small part of the world I live in, but I believe it can help many others.
