Dearest Clarity
I wish that you fully love who you are and everything that you are.
That you embrace being a woman, love being a woman and see the power and beauty in being a woman.
You feel honored and comfortable in your own beautiful skin.
You live your life to the fullest.
You see everything you dream of seeing.
You do everything you dream of doing.
Be everything you want to be.
You are the most precious and beautiful gift I have ever received in my life. You have taught me more than I could have ever imagined, and you have brought such joy, love and laughter into my life. In a way I feel like you gave birth to me, because I have never felt more alive and whole as a person. You are my everything. I truly love you with all that I am. You are my angel and my inspiration and this blog is dedicated to you.

It's not always about the toys

Dearest Clarity,
As a single parent it can be very hard to provide the extras for our munchkins, like dance class, gymnastics or swimming.  This year I have decided to ask anyone in my friends or family that usually gets her lots of gifts or expensive ones, to instead contribute to the cost of her extra curricular activities.  

Of course they can still get her a little something to open, but instead of spending money on a toy she will probably only play with for a few weeks, they can get her something she will enjoy, learn and grow from.  I know for myself it can be really hard to ask for help all the time.  I want to be able to provide everything my munchkin needs and wants but it's not always possible, and I think its a perfect opportunity to get that help. I wanted to share this idea for anyone that can relate.  Soooo if you are someone who can, it might not be a bad idea.  :)
