Easter Reminded Me of the Miracles That Are My Children

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. Below is a tale of my road to becoming the mother of three. It was a road filled with joys and disappointments. However, I wouldn't giving nothing for my journey now. Here's to embracing every step of the journey, even the painful ones, and embracing the lessons learned along the way.

The Secret to Life

There is something about confronting serious illness that transforms you and makes you evaluate your priorities. In 2009, I was at the peak of physical fitness and training for the Pittsburgh Marathon. Three days after I took my final long run, I found herself in the ICU with a septic infection, pyelonephritis. I feel blessed to have come out of that experience with my life and my health. However, it changed my life forever. This experience led to me to begin seriously dating my husband, lead me to lead a more balanced life, and resulted in my becoming a mother. After this experience, I had the courage to take the path less traveled and that has made all the difference.
