One Secret to Success as a Working Mom: Keep Your Arms Out to Receive Blessings

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. I share them on this blog so that we can learn together. Below are some thoughts, hacks, and/or lessons that I have learned from navigating my world. The lesson I have learned recently is that the universe has reminders of the goodness that exists, we just have to look for them.  Life can test us in the most intense ways — and recently I have experienced that intensity. It’s been a season filled with emotional strain, logistical juggling, and moments where I question the laws of physics and fairness. But in the middle of this chaos, I have experienced some extraordinary, blessings that embodied grace-- when I least expected it.

A Working Mom's Ode to Fall...

Boots, the best thing about Fall...
My daughter's preschool learned a poem that goes:

Winter 
Spring
Summer
Fall
These are the seasons know them all!

While they won't be winning a Pulitzer or anything for it, it's a reminder that seasons change just like Expose said they do. Now we are in the middle of Fall and Winter is approaching. It's reminds me of a piece I wrote about Fall (my favorite season for fashion) last year. I wanted to share it before the season ended and we entered my least favorite season. I actually don't know if Winter is anybody's favorite season, unless they're a penguin...
