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.

Random thoughts of indulgence...


There is something about White Cheddar Cheese Popcorn that makes me want to eat the entire bag. I could blame it on the manufacturer. I could blame it on a hard day’s work. I could blame it on any number of things. However, the truth is, I love white cheddar cheese because it doesn’t stain my braces. And, I love popcorn because it’s low fat. That love makes me eat more and more until I fill my stomach to capacity. Whatever low fat benefits exist are cancelled out by the quantities that I consume.

Today is Thanksgiving, which means that I will be eating more than I usually do. I am looking forward to it too. YUM!

I’ll be good tomorrow... :-)
