One Secret to Success for a Working Mom, Expand Your Village (Jack and Jill of America)

on
Jack and Jill of America member and her daughter Recently, I have become keenly aware that good kids are created by accident. They become good because someone made a concerted effort to pour positive things into them--things like, honor, discipline and respect for others. These qualities are taught through lessons and by observation. For that reason, I have been actively considering how to give my children more examples of people who embody those qualities.  Indeed, raising my children to become good people is my most important job.

Leap into Action!

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!
