A Single Parent’s Christmas ðŸŽ„

A single parent just wants to shed a tear. Christmas is 5 days away and her bank account balance resembles the 12 dollars of Christmas.

This time of year, the decisions that have to be made are stressful. Kids want gifts, family wants to gather, food must be bought, and the bills must be paid!

Think, single parent, think! Use your creativity, resources, and single parent partners to get through this challenging time of the year! You can do it, I know you can. Use your Single Parent Spidey sense to make it happen for your kids.

You can do it!

Merry Christmas 🎄

15 Minutes, Please!

After a long work day and chauffeuring a child to all his after school activities, a mom needs 15 minutes of “me time.”

Time alone to not think, but meditate, breath. regroup, refocus, restore, remember how strong, beautiful and grateful she is.  Today, she is grateful for the abundance of blessings given and received on this day.

A Sunday Morning

alavenderplace

Early morning, quiet moments allow me to gather my thoughts, meditate and pray.

The chirping and tweeting of birds calmly warm my soul.

I hear a swift, gust of wind blowing debris from one side of the street to the other.

I see the morning light attempt to peak through the blinds.

I sink into the warm, left-side of my bed and appreciate the comfort of my weighted blanket.

I am reminded that the right-side of the bed is available, empty, and cold.

And, then, reality sets in – I am alone, I have been alone, and I slept alone.
