Nothing Personal...
Had I been warned that at 36 ( yup in 13 days) I'd be a single Momm, running a successful business, Co-Founder of a Women's Organization and soon-2-be Published Author, I would've laughed and said, " Not Me". The way I envisioned my life and the way it has played out has been nothing less of a best selling biography. Full of lessons learned, tears, highs & lows, smiles and growth. Smiles: let me tell you why I smile. Chelia and Matthew bring me joy. I'm smiling and feeIing like crying at the same time lol. Smiling because I look at them and regardless of how they've entered this world, they bring excessive amounts of happiness. Crying because it's hard some days raising them alone but there's an unexplainable amount of strength and courage deposited into my life daily. I look at them and know, I cannot lose. I may quit( in my mind) but the way my reward is set up, I keep going.
Some days, I have moments where I want to scream and yell because this is not how life was supposed to be. Then there are other moments where, I put on my Super Momm cape and keep it moving. Just like we groove to our fave song, which by the way I'm digging Jasmine Sullivan's "Masterpiece, Mona Lisa", we groove and maneuver through life.
Yes it's hard but we can do it.
I think of my business and the families we serve. The phrase, "we attract people who are like us", is extremely true. While KISS serve 2 parent families, a majority of our clients are single moms. Just like me, they are Rising and Grinding. There's no room for the weak when you're a Mom.
Today, I challenge all of my readers, followers and mommy friends to keep going. Don't give up. Motherhood is personal but business never is.
Keep striving and pushing. I've learned that as hard as it is, it's also rewarding. To know that MY experiences as a Momm are helping me to help other Momms through my Business is a gift that I never asked for but I appreciate it daily.
Ok guys ( thank you to my guys who support my blogs) and gals, saddle up and let's tackle this Tuesday..
Signed,
Motherhood Ain't for Sissies
