One Secret to Success as a Working Mom: Keep Your Arms Out to Receive Blessings

Greetings from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania ! Things have been busy. I am still a working mom of three, working full time who is trying to make a difference. I do a lot of things and try to be present so that I can learn from them. I share them on this blog so that we can learn together. Below are some thoughts, hacks, and/or lessons that I have learned from navigating my world. The lesson I have learned recently is that the universe has reminders of the goodness that exists, we just have to look for them.  Life can test us in the most intense ways — and recently I have experienced that intensity. It’s been a season filled with emotional strain, logistical juggling, and moments where I question the laws of physics and fairness. But in the middle of this chaos, I have experienced some extraordinary, blessings that embodied grace-- when I least expected it.

Overcoming Hardship...

Our family

I find it hard to write when I can't tell the whole truth it's the curse of having an honest mind I guess. As the words have been wrestling in my head and I've had thoughts and emotions behind them, I know this.  

I have been absent for a while because I have been processing life since my kids and I were in a motor vehicle collision. I was reluctant to share that the accident occurred in this forum  because I was embarrassed. The embarrassment was because the accident happened regardless of fault. I generally pride myself on being able to control my life and the accident was a reminder about how vulnerable I actually am. I needed time to regain my confidence so that I can share what life has taught me in this forum. Here is one thing that I have learned.

Despite what I've endured, overcome and experienced. I. Am. Blessed.
