One Secret to Success as a Working Mom: Keep Your Arms Out to Receive Blessings

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.

A wonderful trip to San Juan...


I recently returned from the most beautiful vacation in San Juan, Puerto Rico. The island is amazing. The sights, sounds, and smell of the island transported me to a more peaceful place. Me encanta!

The sun is bright. The beaches are full of white sand. And, the sky is majestic. I enjoyed the kind of vacation that makes you want to remain in paradise forever.

My enjoyment outweighed all of the sand bites that populate my body like a game of connect the dots. I am very aware that the minor annoyance of itchiness could have been the pain of a jelly fish sting that some other hotel guests encountered.

Quite frankly, the fun has overshadowed the minor inconveniences that come with travel. Instead, my mind is full of those things that make me smile. Here’s looking forward to my next vacation…
