Lady celebrating Valentine's Day at Eddie V's "To love oneself is the beginning of a lifelong romance." - Oscar Wilde  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.

He is the first African-American coach that the Steelers have had. Given the limited opportunities afforded to the majority of African-Americans in Pittsburgh it is encouraging to have Pittsburgh's crown jewel coached by a Black man. Hopefully, Tomlin's success will open opportunities for other African-Americans in Pittsburgh.

Sports aren't everything, but like this early Steelers win, hopefully Tomlin's position is a start.
