Easter Reminded Me of the Miracles That Are My Children

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. Below is a tale of my road to becoming the mother of three. It was a road filled with joys and disappointments. However, I wouldn't giving nothing for my journey now. Here's to embracing every step of the journey, even the painful ones, and embracing the lessons learned along the way.

There's no place like Charlottesville...

In Charlottesville, Virginia, everything seems nicer. The fruit tastes sweeter. The mood seems more peaceful. And, the countryside seems more beautiful. And when the University of Virginia football team wins, like it did last weekend, everything seems better, if only for the weekend.

 

The University of Virginia is a Special Place


Whenever I return to Charlottesville my spirit is renewed. While I enjoyed attending the University of Virginia, I have become more connected to the University as an alumnus through a scholarship board on which I serve. And membership has its privileges.

This past weekend, I attended the UVA v. Pitt football game. I attended the game in style. I attended a cocktail party at the President's house before the game, My guest and I sat in his box, and the President thanked me for attending the game.

While I've attended many games, but this one was indeed special. And while I know that the University did these things to motivate me to continue giving, I don't mind. I would have gladly continued to give anyway. There's truly no place like Charlottesville and I’d use any excuse to get back there.
