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.

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.
