One Secret to Success as a Working Mom: Stay Open to New Experiences

on
In the movie Love Jones , the male lead says, "romance is about the possibility of the thing." I agree with that. However, I think that the concept is more universal. life--truly living--is about the possibility of the thing. For a while, I was sleep walking through life, doing what was required without truly embracing it. Recent events have caused me to re-evaluate that and to embrace life and all of its limitless possibilities.   And romance, is about love. Over the past year I have become committed to falling back in love with my life. New relationships have made that love affair possible. And, I don't take them for granted. Creating space for new relationships and making new friends as a single, working mom, and creating space is not easy. But it is necessary. For that reason, I have committed to making new friendships, keeping the old productive ones, and enjoying them all--in the midst of working, parenting, and adulting .

Working Mom Reflections: Disney Social Media Moms (#DisneySMMC)

I am a part of Disney Social Media Moms. As part of this program I received a discount package to visit Disney World with my family. All opinions expressed are my own. 

“You can design and create, and build the most wonderful place in the world. But it takes people to make the dream a reality.”–Walt Disney

A couple of weeks ago I announced that I had been selected from a special program called Disney Social Media Moms.  (Here’s a link to the post where I announced the good news.) Last week, I had the good fortune of visiting Disney World as a part of that program and it was AWESOME!!!

Disney World truly is the most wonderful place in the world the happiest place on earth.  The superlatives used to describe the place are not just marketing. They are true. First, it is an absolutely beautiful place. The landscaping is both incredible and inspired. Just being on the grounds transformed my mood. Seeing all of the beautiful flowers and bushes shaped like character just made me happy!

Second, Disney goes out of its way to make your experience magical. The cast members take service to the next level. They greet you with a smile, offer to help, and make every effort to ensure that you have an amazing vacation! That doesn’t even include all of the surprise performances filled with some of the most upbeat and talented people on the planet.


Also, Disney has the best fireworks that I have seen!

Third, the food at Disney World restaurants is amazing. The food at the parks is great amusement park food. However, the restaurants are world class. They have whatever you could possibly want and are also sensitive to food allergies. My sister was traveling with us and she's gluten-free. Once the waiters became aware, the chef would come out to discuss her dietary requirements and they made her dreams a reality.

Disney Food Rocks!
I’ll be posting more about my Disney experience and why I am so honored to have been selected for the program. In the meantime, I hope that you enjoy these photos!
