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.

Wordless Wednesday - Working Through The Pain

"I'm just one stomach flu away from my goal weight." -Emily, "The Devil Wears Prada"

I haven't been on a diet, but I was struck with a stomach bug around noon. Wouldn't you know I also had mandatory training today that started at 1:00 PM? Needless to say it was an uncomfortable three hours, which ended with me throwing up in a parking lot attracting the interest of strangers.


Yes, that happened.

Whatever I have is still running it's course. So, I feel terrible. There's one bright spot today, other than my family. I received these flowers at an event today--another centerpiece.  This time they let me keep the vase too!

Being sick sucks, but these flowers make it a little better.
