A Secret to Success as a Working Mom: Turn Burn Out Into Bliss and Embrace Joy

on
Last weekend my youngest was committed to going to the "Water Steps" a man-made water fall in Pittsburgh by the rivers. (Fun Fact: Three rivers converge in Pittsburgh--The Ohio River, The Monongahela River, and the Allegheny River.)  He kept asking. I knew he was serious when he said, "If you won't take me, I'll ask  daddy!" Given that it was highly unlikely that would happen on an unscheduled day, I relented. So, we went. It wasn’t planned in the way most things in my life are. No calendar block. No checklist. No “productive” purpose attached. And, so in some respects it was uncomfortable. And yet, it seemed necessary. It was the idea of my 8-year-old—offered with the kind of urgency only children possess when something is profoundly important to them.

The age of aquarius
Mom having fun in the sun!

It's February and we are in the age of Aquarius! (Like what I did there?!)


This past week, we had a reprieve from the frigid weather in Pittsburgh. However, rumor has it that the frigid weather is returning. So, here's a photo of me having fun in the sunshine. Know, I am here in the tundra, longing for it to return (and shopping for sundresses and hats! Check out Bluefly for great options!)

You can thank me later!!!
