Let’s use the spirit of Halloween to Help Us Be More Human All Year ‘Round 

Mom celebrating the Halloween spirit Halloween is a season of fun, costumes , and candy . Indeed, it has become a favorite of mine. The kids get excited about their costumes, and spending the evening visiting neighbors and receiving candy in response to their declaration of, " Trick or Treat "! All around the country, neighbors open their doors and give candy to anyone who shows up seeking it. Upon reflection, it is a beautiful tradition that embodies the generosity of the human spirit. I was talking to someone yesterday and commented about how much I have grown to enjoy it and wished that it could last for more than one night.

Working Mom News: I am Attending the United State of Women Summit (#StateofWomen)


As you know, part of the reason I maintain this blog is to contribute to the national conversation about gender equality. Well, in addition to my blog readers, President Obama has been listening (or at least his people have)!

I was honored to learn that I have been selected to attend an upcoming event, "The United State of Women Summit". It's an event designed to convene thought leaders, government officials, and concerned citizens to discuss gender equality. I'm super excited to be selected. And I cannot wait to participate in this event.
