I now get the full understanding of “it takes a village to raise a child” with or without the father involved the mother has to make so many sacrifices. I am so thankful for the support of family and friends. I have an even deeper respect for the ones doing it on their own, with more than one child working and or going to school. It takes a lot! Nothing taken from the fathers but mothers I salute you to the fullest!It was blazing in Chicago. 91 degree’s no breeze. It was too hot for me to be slaving over a stove so I relaxed watching the Mary Mary Marathon.
Family 1st and foremost is their focus. It’s the reason they exist. 2 sisters with a mission to prove to the world that Jesus music (as my little sister would call it) can reach the cool crowd.
One episode really touched me. Tina discovered she was pregnant. While this should be a magical moment for a married woman with a supportive partner, it’s not. It’s a reminder of another person tugging on Tina’s house coat. On a grander level it puts a major glitch in every one’s business plans. As much as we’d like to be super woman, we have our limitations during pregnancy.
Modern day moms have so much more to think about when planning a family. Women are becoming majority breadwinners and the one’s organizing everything related to family. That’s a hell of a job for someone with a full time career.
It’s evident everyday that moms are running the world. It’s also evident that we need help to do so. We need supportive men and families that understand that we are more than mothers but everything we do contributes to the progression of our family.
Help a Mama Out!!!!
I definitely admire these mommies for all they juggle. Hope you’ll be tuning in for the season finale of Mary Mary Thursday 9/8c on WeTV.
Lets support mommies makin moves.
Ok, mama.
Lets chat later.Â
What a day!!
Mommy making moves is all moved out. Today is my 2nd day volunteering for the Black Enterprise Entrepreneurs Conference in Chicago. I’ve seen this event advertised for years but it wasn’t until this year that my light bulb went on. “I NEED to be there” I thought to myself. Well I did the research tweeted Alfred Edmond Jr. the Editor at Large at Black Enterprise for more information regarding volunteering. He gave me the link and the rest is history.
Life is about making moves not watching life move without you. I write about my small steps because I want you to know that Big things come from small actions. We must go into every situation with an open mind to ensure we get the most from each opportunity.
I’ve heard some amazing business stories from single mothers and stay at home moms doing 4 million in sales a year. It’s possible!! I’ll share more of my volunteer experience after Memorial Day.
Back to me being all moved out.
Days like this force me to put myself in the shoes of mothers that have abandoned their dreams because it was just too stressful to juggle family and ambition. Late nights planning business moves and early morning preparing kids for school can leave us exhausted.
I honestly haven’t seen anyone that sacrifices more than a mother. Motivated mommies make tough calls every day! No, we don’t yell to the world the opportunities we’ve passed on to keep our kids smiling but know that it happens often. There are no easy decisions when building a business and maintaining a HAPPY family. Key word being happy.
I’m determined to live a fulfilled abundant life so I’ll continue to push to balance my unruly Libra scales.
Well I’d like to hear tips from my Mommies Making Moves on how you keep your family happy and your professional life flourishing?
