A Secret to Success This New Year: Become Committed and Resilient

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 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. 2025 was intense. I faced a convergence of pressures: the stress of navigating life as a single mom while paying considerable  alimony ,  an intensifying family situation since we lost my beloved aunt, my dad, and my cousin’s mom—work related stress—learning a new job after an imposed job change, all while navigating the rapid pace of raising my kids and trying to maintain a standard of living for them with fewer resources.

My iPad Ate My Blog Entry...

As you know, I love my iPad2, but it is not perfect.  For some reason that I can't understand it deletes my blog entries that I have saved for later review. Here's what happens.

I create an entry in advance on a PC and save it.  When I enter my blog using my iPad with the intent of publishing the post, it has disappeared. Then, when I use a PC to try to read the post, it isn't there either.  It is as if the iPad goes in and plays a practical joke on me.  I can tell you that it's not funny.

Yesterday I had a post about saving $1.50 on Pampers that was witty, timely and practical.  As you can see, the post was not published and my readers were deprived of the coupon savings.  I may just post the coupon without any text. It's not my preference, but I don't want my followers to suffer because of my technical difficulties!

I never had a dog as a kid. So, I was never used the "dog ate my homework" excuse.  And I know that excuse is generally disbelieved.  I now have empathy for those kids. It is a royal pain to work on something only to have it destroyed by something you love.

(Yeah, I do still love my iPad.  However, it was bad so it's not getting any treats, like that Tory Burch sleeve I've been eyeing! :-))
