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.

Looking forward to Spring!

During the pandemic, when we were all sequestered, my only outlet was connecting with friends, family and followers via social media. I got in the habit of posting something every day as I managed the stress of it all with exercise and social media posts. 

Fortunately, life has relaxed somewhat. Indeed, the stress of homeschooling has been replaced with the stress of transporting children to school and various activities. And the ease of my morning workouts has been replaced by the pressures of appearing in the office. 

Still, I rise...

I also look forward to the day when these frigid temperatures subside and are replaced with the warm, balmy days of Spring. Until they are, this photo will help me remember!
