 Mom Advice Column - Tips for Single Moms - monthly advice from our contributor Jennifer Snyder - Tips for a new mom to things that matter to all Single Mom as life after divorce. 

Angels We Have Heard and Seen - Contributed by Jennifer Snyder - My favorite part of the holiday season is its steady reminder of angels. Christmas cards reflect angelic gatherings in star-filled night skies. Ancient carols tell of angels spreading great joy, or watching over shepherds and sleeping children. Decorative angels are prominently displayed on neighbors’ doors; swathed in gold and surrounded by a sea of fragrant greenery.

The Genius of Your Inner Wisdom - Contributed by Jennifer Snyder - Stop everything you’re doing for a moment…Erase all of those racing thoughts and fragmented to-do lists from your mind. Take a nice, deep breath… and another. Feel your heart rate slowing down.  Now, whisper to yourself, “What do I most need in this moment?” Feel your excitement and hopefulness rise at the prospect that you’re finally focusing on your own needs. The notion almost brings goose bumps to your skin, doesn’t it?

Baby Steps or Giant Leaps - By Jennifer Snyder - As summer days drew to a close this year, I found myself feeling not quite satisfied and at loose ends. I recognized that uncovering the cause of these feelings would require me to stop and take note, but I was willing to give these sluggish feelings the attention they deserved. My heart and head had been sending distinct messages, and it was time for me to listen.

Back-to-School Lessons and Supplies for Mom - By Jennifer Snyder - Each year, by early August, discount stores across the country prominently display back- to-school supplies for children of all ages. It is an exciting time to be a student and, as long as one can navigate shopping carts down crowded aisles and find required items, the ritual can be a happy one for their parents.

Rebuilding: Being Authentically “You” - By Jennifer Snyder -  I once read a fascinating, but all too realistic, story about a woman who opened her closet door and out tumbled various pieces of sporting equipment and memorabilia. While these possessions represented the last decade of her life, she didn’t realize until putting them all away that she felt no connection to anything in her closet. You see, this poor woman had put aside her own interests for the hobbies of a long line of significant others. Standing before her newly straightened shelves, she recalled relationships with Partner A in the water skis, Partner B in the bicycle helmet, and Partner C with a paintball gun. She asked herself, “How could I have given up so much of myself so that nothing in my closet reflects my own interests?”

Choosing Family - Jennifer Snyder - “Call it a clan, call it a network, call it a tribe, call it a family. Whatever you call it, whoever you are, you need one.” - Jane Howard Earlier this month I stumbled upon this quote by Jane Howard and it has stayed with me. Women going through separation and divorce need support. They need a tribe or a safety net of people to put them back on their feet or lift them up.  Do you remember the gymnastic endeavor where individuals line up around a big piece of fabric and hold the edges then lift together, sending the person standing in the middle of the cloth high into the air? I think this is an excellent analogy for the kind of support that enables us to build a life after divorce.
