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.

Springtime in Pittsburgh!

on

Sometimes when your mind is cloudy, a little sunshine is all you need to brighten your mood. Today, Pittsburgh delivered. It was a most beautiful day in Pittsburgh. The sky was blue, the sun was bright. And the birds were chirping. A study just revealed that Southwestern Pennsylvania has a major smog problem. However, the smog was undetectable today.


Indeed, the weather was truly a treat to my soul. It reminded me that while your circumstances may change, you may get disappointed, and relationships may struggle, God continues to show up and surprise you. Life is not defined by transient things. Rather, it is defined by those things that are eternal—nature, goodness, and true love.

Life sometimes distracts us, but we must force ourselves to notice the sunshine. It will make us smile. And it will brighten our days and our hearts.
