One Secret to Success as a Working Mom: Stay Open to New Experiences

In the movie Love Jones , the male lead says, "romance is about the possibility of the thing." I agree with that. However, I think that the concept is more universal. life--truly living--is about the possibility of the thing. For a while, I was sleep walking through life, doing what was required without truly embracing it. Recent events have caused me to re-evaluate that and to embrace life and all of its limitless possibilities.   And romance, is about love. Over the past year I have become committed to falling back in love with my life. New relationships have made that love affair possible. And, I don't take them for granted.

I love Halloween because its the only time I get to sort through my kids bags and take out all the chocolate candy for myself and my husband. My kids don't like chocolate so mom and dad are stuck with all the Reese's, Almond Joys, Baby Ruth, Whoppers and such. I also love watching my kids get excited about their costumes and taking photos to send to all my family and friends. I also look forward to the kids marching around the house well into November with their costumes on. Fall is also my favorite time of year. Seeing the changing leaves on the trees is soothing to the soul.
