One Secret to a Working Mom Success: Minimize Expenses

on
Following Instagram posts can make you feel like other moms are either made of money or have sugar daddies funding their lifestyles. I can assure you. I have neither. There is nobody funneling money into my household except for me. And because I was an economics major and my dad was a banker, I am keenly aware of cash flow, assets and liabilities, and expenditures. Still, sometimes, I forget how expensive life can be. It's not because I lied about having a sugar daddy or have a trust fund.  It is because I am frugal. Indeed, being conscious of expenditures is integrated into my lifestyle.  I know that it is gauche to discuss money and yet, I feel compelled to share some thoughts.

An ode to Ice Cube, "Today was a good day..."

on

Today was a good day. I woke up to the rain and I smiled. I remembered that Obama secured the nomination last night. I remembered that I have been taking charge of my life, instead of going through the motions. I remembered this past weekend and was reminded that a surprise may be just around the block.

I also remembered that life can be a blissful experience, if you choose that path.

The NBC News commercial says that believing in the potential of a great day makes you get out of bed in the morning. Well, today I believed. While the day wasn’t great, it was damned good. Here’s looking forward to a great tomorrow!
