Success and Happiness

img00417

I am refocusing my blog.  Actually, I’m adding focus to it.  Single parents are my homies, my favorite kind of folks.  Of course I happen to be one, so the topic is near and dear to my heart (or my “iHeart” if you will ;) ! In determining the best way to revamp this blog, I asked myself, what do we all have in common besides being single parents?

I came up with two words:  Success and Happiness

Success: I do realize that not all single parents are interested in becoming successful in terms of career, but I believe that 99% of you want to be successful in life at whatever it is that you are passionate about, and parenting is probably in there somewhere! This blog will be focused on helping you get there, or simply just bringing you happiness.

Happiness: this one is easy.  Obviously this is something we all pursue if we don’t have it already, or if we would like to experience it more often.  It’s the best way to be right?

One thing I know for sure is that I am happy.  I also believe I have experienced some success in life.  What I would like to bring to you through this blog is a little insight.  My own unique brand of insight.  I know we all have unique insight, we are all amazing creations, not one of us the same.  So I look forward to and will be honored by your unique feedback should you choose to grace this blog with them.  Here is my first reflection on bringing more happiness into your life.

The more you appreciate your fellow human beings, the more happiness you have in your life. This is 100% true.  It’s amazing what happens when you really love your neighbor as yourself.  We have all known how it feels to be loved and appreciated, to be recognized for our inherent importance as individuals that matter.  You can start giving this to others now, and it doesn’t cost a thing.  In fact, the more you give, the more you will get back in return.

  1. Yay! I was so excited to see an update on your blog, AND a revamp to boot! Thanks for helping create Iheart. I’m still struggling to find my place as a single parent (since it keeps changing all the time!) and its nice to find empowerment in our neck of the woods. Keep on doing what you do and rocking the single mom world!

  2. Thank you Hanna, what a great way to be welcomed back into blogging! You are so sweet. It is good that you are blogging as a way to help you find your place as a single parent. I can relate to that, so it will be good to work on it together!

  3. Clare! Hooray for you! I love your new focus and you are right – it really works for you! Congrats girl. I miss you and cute Colby! Coffee and a walk sometime?
