Lady celebrating Valentine's Day at Eddie V's "To love oneself is the beginning of a lifelong romance." - Oscar Wilde  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.

A Peek Into the Life of a Mommy Blogger: Speaking at Parents Palooza

on

This past weekend I spoke at Parents Palooza in Atlanta, Georgia, an extravaganza for parents and children. Being in Atlanta was a great treat. I was able to spend time with my sister who is a fantastic friend and a wonderful aunt to my daughter. She’s also a marketing genius who helped whip my Power Point into shape!
The title of my presentation was “How to Live Your Dream Life While Waiting for Your Dream Job”. My goal was to inspire the participants and change lives. So many speakers encourage people to achieve their dreams, but few tell them what to do in the meantime.  I answered that question. “Work to achieve your dreams, but commit to being happy now.”
I was pleased that my speeches were well received. You can find videos of the speeches on this site and on YouTube soon. In the meantime, enjoy these photos from Parents Palooza.
