It would be so easy for me to create a new business, along with a nonprofit, websites and numerous new tasks for myself with a single audience in mind (women with lives just like my own). But that’s not me. I grow when I’m surrounded by diversity in all forms. I believe that my children are also stronger within by interacting with children with stories that are different from their own. The one thing I do seek out from my parent friends is that they are trying to evolve and grow into better parents and that they don’t lead with destructive judgement of other parents. The parent struggle is real enough, but let’s face facts; the black parent struggle is real peppered with mental exhaustion about race, history, the future, politics, etc.
Feeding my soul with healthy doses of good peoples has been a complex, lifelong journey. So as I sit and reflect my Sable people, it’s time to get moving to create a dynamic, inspired group for ourselves and our children. I see all the intersections of parents crossing and being positively affected by this website and meet-ups. I see the struggles and triumphs that so many parents within my communities tackle with 2 parts fire and 1 part fumes (some days in reverse) being shared, supported, advised and celebrated.
For all the reasons I could list for this website, helping us all feel supported as parents is the root of the root. I homeschool my amazing four sons and I’ve made all kinds of mistakes. I had my older two in public school and watch mistakes happen to them. Parenting isn’t a narrow road traveled; rather it ebbs, it flows and it can also change directions. There are so many good parents of all situations to lend a quick word or have a moment out to get or give that needed support to and from the village.
To my Sable Village I salute the givings you shall bring and I pray over the givings you shall receive.
Love
