Evolve: A Single Mother's Bond

A Single Mother's Bond
By: Nadia Sweeting


Today, I want to show much love to all the single mother,s and fathers for the most part,who somehow lost their way in life. I can honestly admit that I'm lost most often than others, but I can admit that I am aware of it. I came across this video clip -Life lesson for single mothers -  I often feel guilty for not being able to do more for my daughter. Nights of heartaches and disappointments are regular, but like so many other single parents, we must continue on the fight and make it happen. 

A Single Mom's Lightbulb Moment - Oprah's Lifeclass - Oprah Winfrey 

One day, while watching a few videos on Oprah's Life class YouTube channel, I came across this  video clip - "A Single Mom's Light bulb Moment. This video stood out to me because I recognized this woman Erica Ship...Ms.Ship is ME! I put others before me all the while neglect needs and wants. I've lived in the shadows of others - never wanting to make a fuss and when the time came for others to help me- they abandoned me or simply marked the  "Do Not Apply" box.

Financially, I will admit that I struggle- with being able to provide with little assistance. I struggle with insuring both myself and my child. It hurts my heart to hear my daughter tell me "mommy, it will be ok."  Suze Orman stated that "it doesn't matter that daddy left us, but that mommy has what it takes to make it happen." I completely understand and feel her pain. Currently, I reside with my parents and it pains me to raise my child while living in my parents house- unable to afford an apartment. As Suze Orman said, in order to help my daughter, I will put on the "Financial Oxygen Mask" first, then my daughter.  

I am blessed...no complaints

Today is the first day of school for most kids across the United States and I can honestly say this single mother is extremely proud of her child. My daughter entered the 8th grade with full determination that she will do better than last year - Honor Student!  I've instilled in my daughter that hard work pays off. My daughter understands how hard I work in order for her to have. My daughter's obligations are to excel in school and be cordial and respectful to others I manage to run two businesses, Nadashi Marketing and WedTin, with my sister. My daughter see my effort and determination  to make things happen. 

By no means do I want my daughter to feel the financial struggles. Single parents, we are the strongest people walking your respective cities and countries. I respect all single parents near and far. We hold a special bond with each other -- joined by love and strength.

 I know I am just rambling -- these are things on my heart! 

                        I am blessed...no complaints

Evolve: My Authentic Self, My Thoughts

Too Much On My Mind
By: Nadia Sweeting

Today Lord, has been a rough one. I am trying to see the forest for the trees. I am wanting for more. More of what I ask, I am unsure. I want to be more and give more, but I feel as if I am more and given more. God you are my mind-regulator.

Lord, I know this battle is yours and not mine. I am in need of prayer and guidance. I shed a tear only for my own misunderstandings. I shed not a tear because I am sad. I wish that I was dreaming so that I can wake up from the nonsense and everything will be beautiful. Lord, be with me today- remove me from the unnecessary and intent.

Lately, I've been extremely emotional and I know this is all your doing Lord. I know that you are testing me. Testing my faith and will. As I eye my eyes, all I can see is weary and no end. I want to experience my life. For majority of my life, I've experienced other people's lives. I'm always the person looked upon to make everything ok --right--in its place -- correct. I don't seek the approval of others and I know that you Lord are the only "Approver", but I can't help but to think whether anyone stop to think about me.  I am a giver, but givers need assistance too. 

I am not perfect nor do I strive to be. I wear what and how I feel on my sleeve. God, I need you! I need you right now -- right now! As I sit here with tears in my eyes while at work, I need you to speak to my heart. I feel as if I move a mile a minute all while going nowhere. Spinning in a circle with no direction. God, I need things to move in my life -- MOVE ME! 

I've listened to Jill Scott's "When I Wake Up" so many times today. I feel every word in this song. God, I pray that I am dreaming and when I wake up all things will be beautiful! 

God, please hear me ...I want to prosper and live MY life. I pray that  my business  is successful. I pray that my daughter do not encounter the unnecessary garbage that I've endured in this lifetime. I pray for my very own place to live and to call my own. My very own! Those are very powerful words one can say out of his or her mouth. I pray that you keep me sane and refreshed. I often find myself exhausted and weary from everyday. God grant me the ability to smell the flowers and feel the wind; touch the grass and see the world.
