Emily P Hopeful

Hi, there! Welcome to my blog.

I am Emily ... a wife, mother and full-time professional attempting to balance home and work ... but is that possible?

Whether school closings or family medical emergencies or business travel abroad, many, like me, have had to deal with the imbalance for one reason or another. And, business will quickly tell you that no one is indispensable. I was told this very early on in my career. So, any attempt to balance a personal life and work is often challenged.

Along the way, I have had some interesting moments. I have shared some with close family and friends. Some of these moments are amusing, some a little less. So now, I offer them to you too. (I will not mention actual names, places or establishments.)

I hope you enjoy my first attempt at blogging. I write to 'purge' my thoughts, rationalize my feelings and merely express an opinion. If you agree, that is wonderful. And, if not, I don't mean to offend.

Enjoy and don't forget to Smile along the way.
