One Secret to Success as a Working Mom: Learn How to Overcome Mistakes

on
Boy enjoying Millie's ice cream!  #ParentingLessons 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. We have had quite a few two hour weather delays this school year. Generally, they are standard--albeit inconvenient. However, one stands out because it taught me an important lesson, "Trust but verify".

My Quest for a "Big" Life...

on

Because of some recent blog entries, people have asked me whether I am seeking my own “Mr. Big”. That is a reasonable question. However, it is a misguided one.

Unlike Carrie, I don’t crave "Mr. Big". Instead, I crave a "Big" life. What I crave most is a life that defies gravity and convention. I crave a life that brings me happiness and satisfaction. I crave a life that feeds my soul and fills me with passion.

I love men. And I believe that the right man will enhance my life. Like salt, he will add flavor to those things that I already enjoy. However, he won't complete me. I’m no superwoman or raging feminist. I am just a woman who has learned that life is wonderful for its own sake.

Still, I shall continue to write about tales of men and romantic adventures. Romance is fun. The optimist in me believes that I shall meet the man who will end my quest. In the meantime, I shall enjoy the journey. If my Mr. Big comes knocking, I'll answer, but only to gain fodder for the blog. ;-)

I totally agree with you. It isn't wrong to think about love and romance, it feels good. What's wrong is if we limit our happiness to men, and if our eyes become blind to other joys available to us. We yearn fullness of life, meaning, purpose and the ability to bless other people. Keep it up! :-)
