The word Single simply means only one, not many, or several persons. So, for the essence of this series to come to life I will only speak of a single from the standpoint of relationship and my very boring and nonexistent love life. While many areas in my life seem to be picking up and kicking off to a very desirable and rewarding start. It’s also a reminder of areas that aren’t doing so well. Single parenting is often looked at from the main perspective of being the only parent raising a child or children.
Often this is the case in many households, but im grateful to say this is not my picture. My picture looks like a very healthy co-parenting relationship, a handsome and highly active little boy, a supportive family, and friends. Being a Mother for me has kicked off the best friendships, bonds, opportunities, and closure I’ve needed. I don’t talk about being a single mom from a sad story perspective but more so, I speak from the lens of a woman whose SINGLE raising a SON. During this series, I give you a peek inside the diary of this single black mother. I express very openly my challenges, my mindset, my strengths, and my focus.
I desire to encourage any other mother who feels like your SINGLE thoughts go unnoticed. They aren’t, I’ll be bold and share my diary with you in hopes that you and I rely on God. When, I say “rely on” I mean truly, hold fast to his promises that he will most certainly never leave or forsake us. Not, in our thoughts, present, or future. He is a knowing God and he cares for us. As my diary unfolds, I’d like to ask for a non-judgmental review. My story isn’t yours and I understand we will all view situations differently. I only ask that you see and read with a clear and sober view of singleness from me. Grab your tissues this could get a little messy. But, ladies it’s okay. . . . we will, in fact, get through this diary in one piece. Let’s Jump IN . . . .
