One Secret to Success for a Working Mom, Expand Your Village (Jack and Jill of America)

Jack and Jill of America member and her daughter Recently, I have become keenly aware that good kids are created by accident. They become good because someone made a concerted effort to pour positive things into them--things like, honor, discipline and respect for others. These qualities are taught through lessons and by observation. For that reason, I have been actively considering how to give my children more examples of people who embody those qualities.  Indeed, raising my children to become good people is my most important job.

Wordless Wednesday: The Beauty of Flower #PGHGoesRed

on
Nothing beats Free Flowers




Last Friday I was honored to attend the Pittsburgh Go Red for Women Luncheon. It is a great event for a great cause. Heart disease is the leading cause of death for women in the United States. It kills nearly half a million women each year at the rate of about one per minute.  For that reason, fundraisers like the Go Red for Women Luncheon matter.  

Because of the nature of my work, I am pulled into a lot of matters unexpectedly. One of those matters pulled me out of the Go Red for Women Luncheon. I missed the majority of the event,
including the keynote speaker, Muriel Hemingway. Indeed, I was not done with my call until they had cleared the tables. I was disappointed because I had planned on attending and because I missed the awesome looking dessert, which was angel food cake topped with chocolate sauce and berries. It was a treat I would have enjoyed!

Before I could feel sorry for myself, someone offered me a couple of the centerpieces. The flowers in the above photo were in there. Just like that, I felt better!
