I know I've missed the deadline, but wanted to share (besides I already have your book and love it!)... I'm not too big on resolutions, but this year I'm going to work on letting down my defenses. I haven't been in a truly loving relationship for a long damn time, and how will I ever really find one if I don't stick my neck out there, willing to take the risk of having my heart demolished? I am a huge Regina Spektor fan, and recently checked out her video for "Fidelity" -- I keep going back to it (makes me cry). The smile that she has at the end? I want to be wearing that.

I am a single momma of a beautiful 2 1/2 year old. I split from my hubby when I found out (a week before I had her) that he was cheating. Nice huh? Well, now I guess my goal in the new year is to actually bring down that wall and let SOMEONE into my life. I've dated one guy since my divorce and when it got to the "serious" part, I just couldn't handle it. How do I let someone into mine and Lucy's (my sweet girl) world? It's alway just been the two of us and the thought of sharing that with someone just doesn't seem possible. Problem is, I really really really want more kids. At 33, I'm not getting any younger and need to put myself out there but seriously with working 60-70 hours a week to keep us housed and fed, how do I find time OR MONEY to go out and meet people? UGH! Anyway, that's my hope and wish for 2010. Just recently found your blog and love reading it. :) I had intentions to make a creative video but chickened out because to be honest, the thought of baring that much of me for all to see is to hard.

It's a year of growth for me/us both professionally and personally, as I look to take the leap to full time non-profit and my sole source of employment! Yikes, huge step. Be brave, Simon, be brave! :) I imagine the readership of your blog, Alaina, is primarily women (for obvious reasons), and we deal with the 'other side' of the parenting scale, but we're all about equality, and if we can get more fathers plugged back into their kids lives, and get them back on their feet financially, emotionally, and allow them to feel like they CAN make a difference in their kids' lives then that can only be a positive for EVERYONE. Keep up the great work, SingleMama... ~Simon my goal this year is to get more fathers connected with their children than ever before.

Lots of amazing women have shared their stories, hopes, and dreams here. I think any one of them would be an excellent person to reach out to for advice, starting with Mssinglemama. Good luck to you, and to every one on here who opened up. May you all have a happy and healthy 2010. Tamia, if you need role models, look no further than this page.
