Ahjunma: Korean for "Housewife"

No, you don't have to be Korean, married, divorced, in a relationship, of certain age, or a parent to be considered as an Ahjunma (for men: Ahjucee).  I say, Ahjunmahood is an attitude and a mind set to live by:  Learning to let go of the things that are beyond your control (I know, this is super hard to do!), showing yourself compassion (even when it is just easier to be hard on yourself), and more importantly, not worrying about what others think of you and living life to find moments of laughter with friends and family. 

So lets cook, laugh, and commiserate together!
