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 Girls' Trip

Me and the Dallas crew

Last weekend my daughter and I took a girls' trip. No boys were allowed. So, we left daddy and the baby at home in pursuit of fun and fellowship with her god mother and god sisters in Dallas, Texas. Our trip had some twists and turns. We left a day later, spent night at the airport Hyatt and a toilet was clogged. (Intentional use of the passive voice to protect the culprit! :-))  Ah adventures... 



Enjoying ice cream
I love my time with my entire family, but this girls' trip was truly special. Seeing my daughter enjoy her extended family, seeing them embrace her, and feeling the love shared by all was an awesome experience. Still smiling...

Flying is humbling and always makes me count my blessings!
