A Secret to Success as a Working Mom: Turn Burn Out Into Bliss and Embrace Joy

on
Last weekend my youngest was committed to going to the "Water Steps" a man-made water fall in Pittsburgh by the rivers. (Fun Fact: Three rivers converge in Pittsburgh--The Ohio River, The Monongahela River, and the Allegheny River.)  He kept asking. I knew he was serious when he said, "If you won't take me, I'll ask  daddy!" Given that it was highly unlikely that would happen on an unscheduled day, I relented. So, we went. It wasn’t planned in the way most things in my life are. No calendar block. No checklist. No “productive” purpose attached. And, so in some respects it was uncomfortable. And yet, it seemed necessary. It was the idea of my 8-year-old—offered with the kind of urgency only children possess when something is profoundly important to them.

Working Mom Tip: Stay Healthy

Two working moms who make things happen... 

As working moms a lot of people rely on us—our families, our bosses, organizations that we serve… We know that we can't fulfill our obligations unless we are healthy. However, our busy schedules can sometimes make staying healthy hard. I remember that my mom used to keep Lance Peanut Butter Crackers in her purse when we were young. I imagine she did that because she didn't often have time to enjoy a proper lunch. We have all been there. However, even with our busy schedules we have to make sure that we get the appropriate nutrients if we want to stay healthy.

 Life is fragile and it is important that we take care of ourselves. (Click here for a reminder of that.)
