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

on
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.

A Holiday Hit...

on

I have learned that I have the ability to rise to the occasion even in uncertain circumstances.

I succeeded. I wrapped all of my presents, baked all of my cookies and cooked a delicious dinner in time for Christmas.

However, because of all of the angst leading up to Christmas Day, I can't say that I have mastered the holiday routine just yet. Indeed, it is quite likely that I will doubt my ability to make the next holiday dinner. For now, though, I'll revel in my success and do a little victory dance while chanting, "I did not drop the torch! I did not drop the torch! I did not drop the torch!".
