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.

Wordless Wednesday! (#WorkingMom)

A normal work day!

I had a meeting downtown yesterday morning. I am proud that I managed to see our daughter off to school with a lunch and permission slip in hand. I also made it to the meeting on time and contributed. If you happened to see someone who looked like me running fast to make the train, I'll deny it.

Anyway, I was able to stop home after the meeting and got to see my son. It was a welcome treat that we both enjoyed. So I thought I'd share!
