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

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.

Mommy Mondays: Family Photos From the Weekend!

Here is a peek into Chaton's World. I spent the weekend doing things I love to do. I got the opportunity to appear on television on PCNC "Night Talk" and I believe that I represented myself well. I am hopeful that it will lead to more opportunities.

I also had the opportunity to have some great family time. As I mentioned previously, on Saturday, we attended the Children's Festival in Pittsburgh and enjoyed ourselves. I am hopeful that it will lead to more opportunities... :-)

Of course the toddler had a tantrum, but that goes with the territory. Since we have a great kid, her tantrums are shortlived. So, the fun definitely outweighs the problems. Still, I know that a standoff is imminent.  I need to get my game up though. Right now, I think that she could take me!

Below are photos of the weekend. I hope that you enjoy them. I had a great time!

This is me, Rod Doss, Khari Mosley, and Ed Gainey after our appearance on PCNC "Night Talk" this past Friday night. It was a great show. Check it out on the "Best of Night Talk"!
