Day 24: I’d Never Do That To You
I’m a non-custodial mother of a teenager. When my son’s dad and I divorced 16 years ago I knew I was going back to college and I’d also have to work, so it was best for our son that he stay with his father who was already set in his career. It was the toughest…

Day 23: I will be happy, I will be happy…

Day 18: Starting the day off right
When I was in Junior High my mom would wake me up at 5:30a.m. to go jogging with her. While that may seem like a young teenage girl’s worst nightmare, it’s actually one of my fondest memories. Back then she was not only working full time but was also finishing her college degree, and while…
