At the Pittsburgh Ballet Theater Pointe in Time Emerald Gala Today marks a week since my birthday.  Its occurrence is a tremendous blessing. Because all around us are reminders about the fragility of life. To that end, my brother, who always makes a point to celebrate me, took me to the Pittsburgh Ballet Theater's Pointe in Time Emerald Gala on November 2d. That was the beginning of my birthday celebrations. And then, on my birthday itself, I got a bit of a surprise... My actual birthday was tough. It was Election Day. And, I spent the day working polls as a part of an election protection effort. My efforts were designed to protect all voters.

Working Mom Fun Tip: Taking Selfies Like Kim Kardashian (#LoveYourSelfie)

I think she has influenced me.  While I have no intentions of making a sex tape or taking selfies wearing itsy bitsy teeny weeny yellow polka dot bikini, I have practiced taking regular selfies lately.  Here are a few of my attempts.  If you are curious, yes, I am in the bathroom. I was killing time at an event working on my elevator pitch and taking selfies.  I may need an intervention!
