I just discovered this purple women group, and realized I am in fact purple myself, evidenced by my last post. The work is one I created in 2001.
And now I have a definition for what purple is... and it appears I fit the bill, having no children.
Growing up I always assumed that I would marry and have children. Afterall, isn't this what little girls do? grow up, get married, and have children.
I've always believed that having children, raising children, is a huge responsibility. One that should not be taken lightly. It's a responsibility I believe is better to undertake with a partner.
So, at this point, even if I am fortunate enough to find a nice boy to settle down with, I'm thinking bio-babies are out of the question.
And I'm ok with that. I never had a yearning for babies. And lord knows there's plenty of other people out there who have the emotional tools to become great parents.

It is fun to be self-defined, Purple, childfree and lovin' it!
The pallate and poem mixed medium that you created to celebrate our Proud to be Purple holiday on March 4th is lovely. I hope your post and link will help other Purple Women & Friends discover us.
Thank you and welcome to the group!
Thanks Teri... just to clarify, I did not create the purple pallate FOR the holiday, in fact, I created it in 2001.... I just happened upon your blog, and being a lover of purple (the color) was amazed to find out that I am a Purple Woman too! sort of a serrendipitous encounter / discovery.
I am very happy to find other women not yearning for children. I never have and was thrilled when I realized that it actually was my choice to do so!
Purple has always been my favorite color so I admit to being tickled when I found this site :)
