Mom and son celebrating the new year in the Bahamas in 2025! "Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall." – Confucius 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. 2025 was intense.

I don't know that I'll be at the prisons seeking a mate. I mean they are locked up and all and I wouldn't get the benefit of those hard muscles. Still, perhaps I should start practicing criminal law?

It's hard out here for a single girl. You've got to be creative! ;-)
