The image of a single mother, even in this day and age, is usually laced with negativity. At the start of my journey as a single mother, I was riddled with fear that stemmed from the many statistics on the plight of single mothers and their children. My fear became a brick wall looming in front of me that was impossible to go through. The more I thought of my 'broken' family, permanently scarring my children, the threat 0f poverty,and my vulnerablity the wall got thicker and thicker.
So I changed my mind. Changing my thoughts brick by brick knocked the wall down.
*We weren't broken. We were building something new and stronger.
*We weren't poor. I was creatively handling finances.
*My children weren't scarred. They were happy and well adjusted.
*I wasn't weak and vulnerable. I was a pioneer woman courageously taking my family across unchartered terrain.
Make your thoughts about single motherhood positive. In the words of Wayne Dyer, "Change Your Thoughts. Change Your Life"
