One Secret to Success as a Working Mom: Remember Kids Will Be Kids

At Atria's I have SO many incomplete blog posts that it's laughable. They're incomplete because I'll start writing them and then life happens. They're incomplete because in between my inspiration for the post and editing it, I realized that I had a sponsored post to complete. They're incomplete because some national event took precedence. They're incomplete because I realized that we needed milk, eggs, or some other essential and I just forgot about it.

Working Moms Never Forget, The Best is Yet to Come

I don't know about you, but sometimes I need extra encouragement,  especially on Mondays! Today, my encouragement came from a couple of old TV shows--"Behind the Music" and Lifetime Intimate Portraits". 

They were series where celebrities shared their lives and career trajectories with viewers. I'm nosey by nature.

And, here is what I have concluded.

Life, in its infinite complexity will get better, if you remember to never ever give up. It is that simple. You have to put one foot in front of the other. Keep moving towards your identified goals.  

Don't give up. 

The weather will get better. The sun will shine brighter. The sky will clear up. And your situation will improve. So, let's keep walking together into the sunshine, even if we don't see it, we shall keep walking until it comes.
