One Secret to Success as a Working Mom: Keep Your Arms Out to Receive Blessings

Greetings from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania ! Things have been busy. I am still a working mom of three, working full time who is trying to make a difference. I do a lot of things and try to be present so that I can learn from them. I share them on this blog so that we can learn together. Below are some thoughts, hacks, and/or lessons that I have learned from navigating my world. The lesson I have learned recently is that the universe has reminders of the goodness that exists, we just have to look for them.  Life can test us in the most intense ways — and recently I have experienced that intensity. It’s been a season filled with emotional strain, logistical juggling, and moments where I question the laws of physics and fairness. But in the middle of this chaos, I have experienced some extraordinary, blessings that embodied grace-- when I least expected it.

Wednesday Words of Wisdom: Love is All You Need

Baby smiles

"All you need is love, love, love is all you need!"-The Beatles 

In life one confronts a host of trials and tribulations. For that reason, eventually everybody seeks understanding. What I know for sure is that love is the answer to most questions. 

And, I want my children to learn that lesson too.

This photo of my sister, Jeryn, and new son embodies love at its most pure. Indeed, she loves my kids as her own and always have. Her love makes me a better mom. She brings fun when I am fatigued--literally. She is the one responsible for the baby's first smiles. And if history holds true, she will continue to be the one who shows him that life is full of adventure and that the love of his family will be on that journey with him.
