A Secret to Success This New Year: Become Committed and Resilient

Mom and son celebrating the new year in the Bahamas in 2025! "Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall." – Confucius 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 love Halloween because its the only time I get to sort through my kids bags and take out all the chocolate candy for myself and my husband. My kids don't like chocolate so mom and dad are stuck with all the Reese's, Almond Joys, Baby Ruth, Whoppers and such. I also love watching my kids get excited about their costumes and taking photos to send to all my family and friends. I also look forward to the kids marching around the house well into November with their costumes on. Fall is also my favorite time of year. Seeing the changing leaves on the trees is soothing to the soul.
