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.

A Peek Into the Life of a Working Mom: I had the Baby!

  "Life happens when you are busy making other plans." --John Lennon



It has been said that life happens when you are busy making other plans. Apparently, that's when babies come too...


I had a very elaborate maternity leave plan that included me delivering on or after my due date. My baby was due on March 29th. Below is a photo of him. He came on March 15th. Somehow, someway, he failed to get my detailed maternity leave memo.


Go figure?!


There's a lot that I would like to share about my birth experience and what happened next. However,  I am still playing catch up. Delivering two weeks early threw my schedule for a loop. I'd tell you about it, but haven't got the time. Don't worry, soon I will.  Until then,  know that I am in a blissful,  sleep deprived haze...
