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

on
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.

Wordless Wednesday: Watching TV (#dontjudgeme)

on


I know there are reports that suggest the television is the first step towards the crack pipe. However,  I don't believe it.
I spent many years watching TV with my grandmother and I turned out fine. And instead of watching cartoons, I watched soap operas! Indeed, I knew more about the characters on Guiding Light" than I knew about my own family. I actually learned the word "prolific" from watching "The Bold and the Beautiful". That's an SAT word! 

Seriously, it's not that I believe in unlimited TV time. It's just that I sometimes need to pluck my kids in front of the TV in order to accomplish some things. How do you think I found time to write this blog post?!

I guess the worse thing that can happen from my kids watching TV is that they may not get into Harvard. I'll just have to tell them that they'll join a long line of family members who didn't attend Harvard...
