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 also enjoyed an amazing, relaxing, and fulfilling, birthday. And those are simply the things that I’ll share in this blog.

Upon reflection, the comment is rather deep. It is a statement about the role that we all have on this planet. Frequently, people ponder the meaning of life, but it really is simple. We are here to help one another make it through the journey.

The person who called me her Prozac has been struggling lately. So, I am glad that my escapades can help lighten her load. In fact, let me stop writing and go create some more mischief. Surely, there are more people out that they I can amuse!
