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

on
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.

Hurricane Irma Made Me Count My Blessings

on

Life is a series of moments. The secret to success is maximizing the good ones and minimizing the bad ones. As working moms we know that we'll have days that are punctuated by tears, traffic, and trials. However, other days are full of family, fun and frolicking on the beach!

I'd love to say that I'm an expert on this type of living. However, I'm not. Sometimes, I fall short. I major in the minor, perseverate on the negative and lose my cool and my patience...





That said, I try to remember to live this way and I look for reminders in my experiences. Recently, we were vacationing at Myrtle Beach while the weathermen were forecasting the effects of Hurricane Irma in the Caribbean and Florida. During that time, I felt compassion for those affected. I also felt incredibly grateful to be sharing such enjoyable times with my family. 

I decided to share these thoughts with you in case you needed a reminder as well. Hope all is well in your world!

(Our prayers are with those who faced the affects of the recent Hurricanes in the Caribbean, Florida, and Houston.)
