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.

Working Mom News: I am Attending the United State of Women Summit (#StateofWomen)


As you know, part of the reason I maintain this blog is to contribute to the national conversation about gender equality. Well, in addition to my blog readers, President Obama has been listening (or at least his people have)!

I was honored to learn that I have been selected to attend an upcoming event, "The United State of Women Summit". It's an event designed to convene thought leaders, government officials, and concerned citizens to discuss gender equality. I'm super excited to be selected. And I cannot wait to participate in this event.

Official Announcement:
