It is so amazing to me when I receive e-mails from total strangers who have read or listened to something I have done.
In the past 3 weeks I have received 2 e-mails from 2 different women who have read Single Moms: Struggles and Strengths and were touched by my story in some way they felt they wanted to reach out to me.
The first one I received I wasn't sure if it was really meant for me or not. It was from a young woman named Lori who was a single mom at the age of 17. It was such a close reflection of my circumstance I wasn't sure if it was from a real person or not. It took me a while but I responded all the same.
Today I received another e-mail from a single mom in Ontario. I have not yet responded but I am in awe that my words have found their way out to the women I intended to read them. Many months after my articles were published.
It reaffirms to me that although I have no clue who reads my words and how many are touched by my words... they are being heard and my honesty and truth are finding their way into another's life.
Pretty freaking amazing... As I continue to sit with this... enjoy this feeling of knowing I have touched someone with my words, allowing someone to see that they are not alone.
And here is what I know, as we each speak up and speak our truths for others to hear, something in our story will resonate with another person on this earth, reassuring them that they too are not alone.
Tomorrow is another day... and there is always more.
