Memoirs of a Single Mom

My trials and tribulations of being a single woman, mother and adult in today's society.



Ok, I have a dream. I hope that my life eventually will go in this direction. I want to move down south. Possibly Charleston, SC or a similar location. Long Island has been "getting old" for a long time now. I am done here. I am done with the endless stream of cars, costly homes and apartments, pretentiousness, status, rat race....I am not meant to live here for the rest of my life. Why my parents stayed for all these years, just amazes me. Here is just a few examples of why South Carolina is more my style. Will it ever happen for me? Will Nick know what its like to live comfortably without the constant worry if Mommy can pay for his toys and clothes? Will we ever be able to walk outside and see palm trees and spanish moss gardens? I hope the future will hold that for us. This is just one of my goals for myself and my son.

Wonderful idea, Em, and wonderful questions. Thank you for including me. As you know, the peace and sanctity of your family means a great deal to me. In my view, the answer to all of your questions (starting with "Will it ever happen for me?") is: If it is truly your will and your desire, then you are unstoppable in anything you pursue, and it will ALL happen for you. There is nothing stopping you. Yes, the economy, for example (just like endless things in life) complicates things and forces us to be resourceful, but even the poorest of people thrive in the most meager of economic conditions; indeed, history is abound and teeming with them. Go for it Em. Go for it. Leave any doubts behind and make it happen. My advice would be to line up all of your thoughts, feelings and actions in alignment with that one goal. Live FROM that goal until it is so. Then, as you know, the universe will bend to your will. The toughest part, therefore, is to actually find the courage to truly choose this -- because if you TRULY do, it MUST happen for you, and then everything will change. Of course, this is why most people NEVER change: fear of the unknown. Fear of the unknown keeps the masses in check. But not you; not your family. If this is what will bring you peace, then please, do it. :)

Your so smart Mike...I truly admire you ;)
Love Em
