When I met Sheila we were at a single moms play date in Los Angeles.
She was soft-spoken, understanding and gentle.
I had no idea she had it in her to leave her unrewarding and negative work environment to break out on her own. To blog about beauty, to create her own jewelry and to pave her own path.
But she did.
She took a leap of faith and as we speak she is looking for that faith to kick in.
If you need a blog writer, a photographer or a social media consultant – contact Sheila. See her work here. Or, if you want to support her do one even better and buy a piece of her jewelry on Etsy (each piece ranges between the $10.00 and $20.00 range).
As a thank you, if you e-mail me a copy of the receipt for your purchase on Sheila’s Etsy site I will send you a free copy of my eBook, Ms. Single Mama Uncensored.
Because us single mamas have to stick together… without each other, where would we be?

My Secrets are Out…
Ms. Single Mama Uncensored: Dating, Sex and Love is here. But first a few words from my delirious haze. I am hoping they make sense…
Before I started writing this blog the whispers in my head, the words of strength from outside of myself were hard to come by. I only knew one or two fellow single moms and living at my mother’s for one year did a number on my social life. I was alone, utterly alone and it was uncomfortable.
I tried to find inspiration in other single mom books and while they were insightful on many levels, all fell short for me. I craved real, honest advice about dating and love. I didn’t know it then but I would soon fill that void myself and also become a voice for single mothers everywhere by shouting from the my little mountaintop: we are beautiful, we are strong and we are sexy as hell. And while this shit ain’t easy we don’t need a man to rescue us, we need to rescue ourselves.
I am not sure where those words came from. They started, I believe, as whispers in my own head or more like echoes. And then you all showed up. Your words and your thoughts inspired me to keep writing, to keep sharing my stories and your words, in turn, became the whispers in my head. [click to continue…]

On another adventure.
Benjamin and I are flying out this morning to see these two trouble makers.
Kristin, who writes the stirring blog Better Now, and her son Nolan are waiting for us in Vancouver. I’m not sure what Kristin has planned but yesterday I got an e-mail about a zip line over a canyon and was told to bring a little dress (not for the Canyon but for our night out).
I hate leaving you all hanging about the Bear but I promise this one is worth the wait. He’s not shy. He also understands this blog and says it’s one of the main reasons he digs me so much. He can appreciate the blood, sweat and tears I’ve poured into this little corner of the blogosphere.
What does this mean for you? It means you’ll be meeting the Bear via video (yes, video) and you’ll also be enjoying new features on my blog like that photo gallery there to the right. He set it up for me. Gotta love the nerds.
The necklace is on the way. I should have it in my hands when I get back on Tuesday. Prepare to be stunned.

Save the date for this!
And, I believe, you’ll be able to call in!
In addition to yours truly you’ll hear from Matt Logelin, O Solo Mama and Sassafrass Jess. It’s all thanks to SingleMindedWomen.com and Rachelle Chase, the host of SMW BlogTalkRadio.
Click here to listen to Rachelle’s interview with John Gray, author of Men are From Mars Women are From Venus. Interesting and very scary stuff. He details 12 ways women and men unknowingly create arguments, why women turn men off and why men suddenly “go cold” toward a relationship.
If you love me…
I know it’s kind of annoying (you have to register and everything) – but if you like this blog review it on Blogged.com. It would help boost my blog up in the rankings… shameless self-promotion, I know.
And, for the last time, when was your last date?
I’m loving my first little poll.
It was a dead heat between those of us who went on our last date 1-2 weeks ago and those who went on a date over 1 year ago! Now the 1-2 weekers are edging ahead. SO before I close the poll let me know when you had your last date. This is important single parent research people. And it’s fun!
