Let’s use the spirit of Halloween to Help Us Be More Human All Year ‘Round 

Mom celebrating the Halloween spirit Halloween is a season of fun, costumes , and candy . Indeed, it has become a favorite of mine. The kids get excited about their costumes, and spending the evening visiting neighbors and receiving candy in response to their declaration of, " Trick or Treat "! All around the country, neighbors open their doors and give candy to anyone who shows up seeking it. Upon reflection, it is a beautiful tradition that embodies the generosity of the human spirit. I was talking to someone yesterday and commented about how much I have grown to enjoy it and wished that it could last for more than one night.

Twitter Tuesday: Cool Women on Twitter


During this holiday season I am featuring women who inspire me on Twitter. Below is a list of some of my favorites!



1.    @Brandi Jeter: Brandi J is a Bay area mom who is committed to living life in a big way. She describes herself as “Ayva's Mom, Online Content Creator, @iVillage #Ivoices, Community Support for @CBSocialFabric, @ShadesSocial, Founder of @MatterMoreMedia.” Learn more about her at http://www.mamaknowsitall.com

2.     @HollyPavlika:Holly Pavlika is a very impressive lady. She does so many things that I wonder how she finds time to sleep! She describes herself as “President, MOMentum Nation. Marketing to and with moms. MediaPost Engage Moms. Shot@Life, Global Poverty Project, 10X10 Educate Girls Champion.” http://momentumnation.com

3.     @allthingsfadra Fadra Nally is a girl after my own heart. She describes herself as “Mom. Wife. Ex-Corporate Worker. Seeing if I can do it better my way. Join me in my off time at @CharInfluence and @SocialDialect.” http://www.allthingsfadra.com

4.     @hollyrpeete: She is an actress, author, and TV personality. She is also an autism advocate. Here’s a recent post. “Tomorrow in NY I will participate in a panel discussion on #autism held by Amex with @autismspeaks ... #1in88” She’s awesome! I have been a fan of Holly Robinson Peete since she came on the scene with 21 Jump Street. I also think that we look alike. It may just be me though.

5.      @momsatwork: Working moms need a network so that we can understand that we’re not the only one who is late getting home, misses birthday parties and/or goes to work without showering.  Moms at work describes themselves as “a group of working moms who every day engage in a precarious tight-rope act of balancing our jobs and family. Yes, sometimes we fall off!”  In a word, they are my people!
