A Working Mom's Secret to Success on Valentine's Day: Manage Expectations...

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. 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 roots of Valentine’s Day roots go back to St. Valentine, a priest in the early Christian Church known for his compassion and commitment to love. He was a defender of faith, hope, and kindness, reminding us that love is not just a feeling—it’s an action.

Don't let one set back get you down...


Disappointment comes with living
The alternative is fail to try
Simply do your best each time
Then, don't question why
If you know that could have done more
Next time, even the score

Nobody wins every battle,
But know this isn't a war
Continue to believe in God
You wanted this, but He promises more

We all have different journeys
Your intended blessings always come to you
So don't you fret too much child
One contest doesn't determine your value

Hubris is dangerous to catch
It makes you feel invincible
Sometimes God withholds things from us
To remind us of the true principle

He can provide for ALL your needs
According to His riches in glory
Do not let one "loss"
Keep you from remembering the story

You can't always get what you want
But each time you get what you need
So continue to try and be confident
Know that you will ultimately succeed

On your journey you will encounter trials
Indeed you will experience strife
But learn to rejoice in the victories and setbacks
Because my dear, this is called life.
