Getting To Know You

It’s not unusual for me to finish reading a book I adored and think, “Oh, I’d love to sit down with the author at Starbucks.” What is unusual is to have that thought about an author I’ve never read, but the more I learn about Vicki Pettersson, the more fascinated I become. She’s the author of [...]

A Business Built on Dust

Great business ideas can come from anywhere—frustration and frugality, for instance. One such story began in a tiny monastery in the countryside of western Wisconsin. Father Bernard, one of five Cistercian monks living in at the monastery, was perplexed by the high cost of printer ink. That may not be the sort of problem you’d think [...]

What We Almost Missed

While Bill Bryson was toiling away at a London newspaper, he was dreaming about being a freelance writer. With a wife and family to support, this seemed a risky and selfish dream. So he continued to drag himself to a job that was growing more loathsome. One day he got a call at work from his [...]

At 12:23pm on June 14, 2009, Susan said…: You are an inspiration. Thank you. I found this site at just the right time, I was feeling very alone in the world. I am living with my parents with 2 kids, 2 dogs and a cat....cramped isn't the word. No job and I'm a nurse so that says something about the economy in my little corner. It seems I have "lost" my so called "friends" from my old place in NC and boy was I feeling in the pits. While I am sorry that some of the folks here are going through the same things, it's nice to know I am not alone, and it is also nice to know that people are overcoming the losses they have endured.

Thanks again and have beautiful week ahead,
Susan

Since our meeting I have had contact with her father. We actually just paid him a visit but it did not go so well. I still stay positive though.

Her and I are doing awesome!! I am going to put some updated pics on my site! How are you and your little guy?

Do you know if I can still find the clip from the show that we did? I know they took it off their website. They mentioned downloading it but I did not think that was possible.

I sure do wish that our trip to see her father would have went better. However I still firmly believe that everything happens for a reason and continue to move forward.

Lots of hugs! -Tara

Everything is so spread out that it is hard to get together... but we are working on it! We are changing the single parent world here one step at a time! I have met some parents to set up playdates with. But you know being a single parent requires some adult time too... just so we don't forget how to speak regular English! Have a blessed day!

At 10:33am on June 3, 2009, Stacey said…: Hi Clare, I just wanted to say Thank you! for helping to create this sight. It gives me a place to find other single parents in my area to possibly connect with. It's a great outlet.

At 11:02pm on June 2, 2009, uomeasmile (Kim) said…: You know, those of us in Texas often talk about Portland envy. Texas is so big, that it is difficult to plan a meet up. But I thought I would let you know that Angel, Tonya, and I are having our own fruity drink luau the same weekend as your SPNO! Hopefully someday, we can make it up that way!

At 8:55pm on May 18, 2009, WaterWorld said…: LOL. What fun! Wish I had a better 80's style shirt; you needed to get my pants in the camera view- they we're way more 80's then the shirt. Oh well, hope to see you all at the Hawaii luau party. Aloha! :)
