Welcome to my Blog - a community that unites women all around the world to create community to support and educate single working mothers to create a life of ease and abundance.
Being a single mother can be a very isolating experience. This is a place to celebrate, to combine resources and get information. I hope to address many new topics on this blog: (re) gaining Financial Freedom, Raising children, Creating Passionate Partnership
Navigating Divorce, Community Childcare initiative, Business life, Urban / Suburban, Photography, Stories and my new book:
Removing the ring.

I think it's a great idea, there is so much to say. Being a divorced single mom I live with the same issues. I have an idea for a book also...similar in nature and style....but a slightly different angle/subject. I want to do a series of stories, from different women's experiences.
My working title is...."The 1st Generation, Daughters of a Revolution. (subtitled) The secret sorrow - where are we now and where do we go from here", ....stories of success/ failure, love/loss, what we gave up as women, what we gained and what's missing in our lives and our culture. Voices from the first generation of women who are the daughters of the women who stood their ground and carved the way for their world to transform during the Feminist Revolution, whether they knew what they were doing or not. We must talk!!
So glad to see this out there. I think as single women and/or single parents we have a unique voice that needs to be heard. Yes, our mothers did fight for our freedoms, but there is so much more that still needs to be done. Why is it so diffocult for women to scale their work from a traditional work week to fit the needs of their family? Why does the responsibility for caring for children still fall predominately to women?
I have found that although my divorce was devastating and very destructive, I have somehow managed to pull a new life together that is really wondnrful. It has taken a lot of sheer will and determination and a number of serious mistakes along the way, but at the end of the day, I am exhausted, but am increasingly able to look at what I have and say: "I did that."
I am learning to allow myself the luxury of occassionally feeling triumphant.
That is, until my three year old kicks the dog, steps in the dog bowl, the phone rings, and dinner burns....Well it lasted a few seconds anyway.
