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

on
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.

Wednesday's Working Mom Words of Wisdom: Driving Through a Rain Storm

on
"Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding." Proverbs 4:7


I try to make my posts timely, but neglected to post one last week that I'd like to share because the lesson I learned was profound. In the midst of it all, be grateful...

Be Grateful


Last Wednesday was particularly eventful. I had two meetings after work. As I was driving to the second meeting, there was an advisory from the National Weather Service saying that thunderstorms were coming to Allegheny County along with "quarter sized" hail.

As soon as the announcement finished on came the wind, rain, the thunder, the lighting and the hail. It was as if it was on queue. The hail reminded me that my Volkswagen is a definitely a step down from my old Lexus. It was coming down hard and I could almost feel it. Also, I was on a two lane road during this storm trying to get from one side of the county to the other. It was scary and I kept thinking about all of the people who die on two lane roads and otherwise perish in car accidents.

I tried to resist those thoughts, but they came anyway. What to do?! Pray and pay attention to the road. I did both and fortunately, made it home safely. When I got home I hugged Andre and the toddler and it was pure joy!
