Help and Support For Divorced Moms: Savvy Divorced Chicks
Filed under: Around DC, Mom Blogs, Mom Victories, Mom Worth
You just walked out of divorce court,
wondering where do I start now?
You no longer have the same support system you had as you did going through the divorce process. It’s easy to feel scared and insecure. But the good news is, there is life after divorce and you can have a more passionate and fulfilling life than ever before…
A friend of mine has a website for divorced moms,
her name is Colleen Bushby,
and she’s created a great support community ,
complete with a blog, free resources, a blog radio show,
as well as cds to buy.
Her site is Savvy Divorced Chicks,
And you can go there and get her FREE GUIDE,
Jumpstart Your Life After Divorce,
5 Savvy Steps You Can Take Now

Be Inspired… SpiritJava
I was planning on ending the week highlighting SpiritJava. As you can see in the logo, SpiritJava consists of ‘Caffeinated Meditations’. If you click here you can enter your name and email and receive at the start of each day a quote, and a few lines written by Gregg Kennard.
Imagine my surprise when I opened this morning’s SpiritJava email and it was about Susan Boyle, the same as my post yesterday…
Here it is:
“I dreamed a dream…” Susan Boyle’s excerpt from Les Miserable
The Britain’s Got Talent contestant’s dream is coming true. Good for her.
God’s desire is that all of our dreams come true. It may require some patience, persistence, courage, and action, but manifestation of your best life is definitely what God is about.
He put the dream and desire in you, so keep believing, hoping, and moving forward.
You never know when that defining moment may come. A week ago, Susan Boyle was in virtual obscurity, now she is a household name, an international star.
Keep dreaming!
How’s that for Karma?
I love starting out each day with my SpiritJava email,
it is a reminder to decide at the start of each day, to go into that day with the intention of it being your best day yet…
and that’s pretty important, after all, you’re living it, it’s your day!

I DON’T WORK?
From time to time I help out my former boss as a consultant.
We usually meet for business dinners because that works with my schedule and her schedule and it’s fun to catch up, and there is food involved, which is nice.
I told my son that Daddy was taking him to McDonald’s and I was going downtown to a
business dinner meeting.
“Business meeting?” my son asked.
“But Mommy, you don’t work!“
I couldn’t help but grin. My grin turned into a chuckle and then a full blown laugh.
Ahhh. My little guy, who amazes me with his awareness, surprises with with his astuteness, just reminded me that he is only 4 years old.
Little man, little man, you have a lot to learn.
I LOVE BOXES/TOYS!
I am so proud of this microwave oven that my son and I made-
I’m posting it!
Wow, has my life come to this?
I guess it has because I’m thrilled with this. I am so knee-deep into motherhood that I am actually watching my artistic progression when it comes to these box transformations.
I am a painter, albeit a beginner. And when I see my advancement in the art of construction paper, a gluestick and markers, I think to myself, ‘Pick up that paintbrush!’
I’m kidding… but not totally.
MOM MAKES A DIFFERENCE
All that I am or ever hope to be, I owe to my angel Mother.

Remember when you are busy making dinner and changing diapers and doing art projects that you are appreciated.
And you will be appreciated more as time goes on!
