LETTER FROM THE FOUNDER
National Single Parent Day is actually a real day , who would have thought that there would be a day honoring single parents . A few years ago I discovered National Single Parent Day as I was researching single moms . Although , I found the day I didn ’ t find many celebrations of the day or even acknowledgement . Well , of course that wasn ’ t going to work for me , so every year since I learned of this day I have been trying different ways to celebrate it . This year I think I may have started something by first dedicating the magazine to its celebration but also with the Single Mom Takeover and the National Single Parent Day Meet-ups . I want to encourage all single parents around the world to use this day not as a bashing of the other parent but as a day of celebration and encouragement for all the hard work you put in . Let us come together on this day and during this month to build our communities and villages , to work together and create the change we seek throughout our communities .
The Single Mom Takeover is hosted by me and two THRIVING Single Mom Advocates Audrey Renee of Dear Single Mommy and Vanetia Fahie of La Femme . Together we interviewed 15 amazing single moms in celebration of National Single Parent Day and to inspire and empower other single moms around the world . Make sure you register for this 1 day telesummit happening on National Single Parent Day , March 21st to not only hear the amazing single moms but to get all of the freebies and extras . Register at http :// singlemomtakeover . gr8 . com . We can ’ t wait to takeover her hearts and social media during this epic Single Mom Takeover . Here ’ s a little special incentive from me and Sage Mentoring we are giving away one free enrichment stop from “ Go Time ! G . P . S . to THRIVE !” to all those who register for the Takeover . Learn more about the enrichment stops we offer during “ Go Time ! G . P . S . to THRIVE !” at http :// gpsthriving . gr8 . com .
It is my goal to have a National Single Parent day Meet-Up in every state of the United States , but in order to achieve this goal I need your support . We are in need of single parents to step up and be Ambassadors for the meet-up in their city / state . It ’ s completely FREE to participate and just a fun event in celebration of this day and building our villages . If you are interested in learning more about being an Ambassador just go to http :// SagecelebratesNSPD . gr8 . com at the same site you can learn more about all of the things we have planned to celebrate our special day .
