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.

Shakira and J. Lo Have Liberated Us All!

At Concert
Y’all know that my raison d'etre is to discuss the issues related to working moms. Well today, is a day to celebrate two working moms who inspired us all at the Super Bowl Halftime Show last Sunday—Jennifer Lopez and Shakira.

Shakira and J.Lo Inspired Me


Perhaps it is because I was inspired by them that I decided to get on stage at the EnVogue concert I attended on Saturday night to shake my groove thing in from of the crowd. I wound up on stage because they had a call for "party people" and I responded to that call like they had called my name. I was totally in the moment, shaking away any concerns I had about life, and it was FUN!

I know I'll never know what it's like to dance before millions at the Super Bowl, but I now know that regardless of my age, my marital status, and my motherhood, I am still willing to shake it up every once in awhile. And, I think that we should all be inspired by J.Lo and Shakira. Whether you liked the show or not, they showed us that nothing is off limits for moms. And that is quite inspiring!
