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.

Wordless Wednesday: A Working Mom at the Bus Stop (and why this post was late)

Time at the bus stop
Today I had a real treat. I was able to meet my daughter as she got off of the bus. As a full time working mom, greeting her at the bus stop is something that I often miss. So, I was thrilled to be able to do it today. From the look on her face, she was thrilled too!

SEEKING OTHER EXHAUSTED WORKING MOMS: 

This post was prepared on Wednesday, but not posted until Thursday because I fell asleep on my couch with my laptop and neglected to hit send. Has something like that ever happened to you when you were going to post a blog post, buy an airline ticket, or be the first one to score tickets to an important event, etc.??? Please tell me I'm not alone!
