One Secret to a Working Mom Success: Value Traditions

on
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. "Family traditions counter alienation and confusion. They help us define who we are; they provide something steady, reliable and safe in a confusing world."— Susan Lieberman   Traditions have a way of defining a family, provide stability and give hope.

Autumn has finally descended upon Pittsburgh, effectively ending my summer romance. Amazingly, I have found new things to love.

Being able to breathe freely without the humidity is a welcome relief. I might be inspired to take up running again. Also, the clear, crisp air allows for more expanded wardrobe options.

You're probably surprised to hear me talk about autumn with such affection given my recent love affair with summer. What can I say, I'm fickle! :-)

Also, you know how romance goes. When you're in the midst of it, you are blind to its faults. However, after it's over, you have a chance to gain some persepctive. And perspective has a way of making you realize that you shouldn't limit yourself.

As much as I loved summer, I am looking forward to feeling the cool air kiss my cheeks, smelling the burning of leaves, and hearing the rustling of the trees...

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!
