One Secret to Success as a Working Mom: Stay Open to New Experiences

on
In the movie Love Jones , the male lead says, "romance is about the possibility of the thing." I agree with that. However, I think that the concept is more universal. life--truly living--is about the possibility of the thing. For a while, I was sleep walking through life, doing what was required without truly embracing it. Recent events have caused me to re-evaluate that and to embrace life and all of its limitless possibilities.   And romance, is about love. Over the past year I have become committed to falling back in love with my life. New relationships have made that love affair possible. And, I don't take them for granted. Creating space for new relationships and making new friends as a single, working mom, and creating space is not easy. But it is necessary. For that reason, I have committed to making new friendships, keeping the old productive ones, and enjoying them all--in the midst of working, parenting, and adulting .

Twitter Tuesday! (with correction)

on
It’s Tuesday again and moms are still Tweeting! So, I have more tweeting moms to profile.  So, here’s what I have I have found. 

There are moms living their lives and raising their children in the face of tremendous odds.  There are moms living la vida loca and others trying to turn their regular lives into celebrity ones. I found a mom who defines herself by her multicultural experiences, another who was single and now is married. There are moms who told the truth, mommies need sleep too.  We are not machines! 

There are the green moms, the Zen moms, and the moms who believe in positive thinking. All of the Tweeters are noteworthy, but a few deserve personal recognition.

One of the moms tweets about breastfeeding. Breastfeeding is a commitment, especially when you are full time mom. Anyone helping moms with this responsibility is doing God’s work! I have yet to blog about my experiences as a breastfeeding mom, but stay tuned.  

I found my working mom twin. Being a full-time working mom presents a special set of challenges. You have two full time jobs. You are a full time worker and a full time mom.  There is no such thing as being a part-time mom. Being a mom is the only job without a vacation, but let’s be honest, even with all of the challenges, the benefit package rocks!

I idolize the moms who tweet that we do be anything—work, mother and be hot.  I shall sit at their altar trying to learn! If you're looking to learn some things, follow the ladies listed below!
