One Secret to Success as a Working Mom: Keep Your Arms Out to Receive Blessings

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. The lesson I have learned recently is that the universe has reminders of the goodness that exists, we just have to look for them.  Life can test us in the most intense ways — and recently I have experienced that intensity. It’s been a season filled with emotional strain, logistical juggling, and moments where I question the laws of physics and fairness. But in the middle of this chaos, I have experienced some extraordinary, blessings that embodied grace-- when I least expected it.

Leap into Action!

on
Everyone keeps saying that 2012 will be their year. Perhaps the Mayans have us all worked up? Perhaps these 60 degree days in the middle of winter in Pittsburgh no less has us thinking about global warming? Or, perhaps it is the cosmic storm that the meteorologists recently discovered? I have no idea what the reason is. What I do know is that the people in my life are doing more, talking less and eschewing procrastination. My sister even gave up wasting time for Lent. She is that committed to her self improvement project and her goals. I am not immune. I have hired an intern to help me with some personal projects. And she is great. So, I'm caught up in the frenzy and committed to taking some of my projects to the next level this year. Now is the time! Carpe diem and all that jazz! After all, this is a Leap Year. So we have 24 extra hours to accomplish our goals.

Happy Leap Day!
