Happy Mother’s Day to all mother figures!
It doesn’t matter if you’re biologically a mother, a pet mom, or even a bonus mom. You possess the traits that mothers have. You are essential, as is the love, care, and nurture you provide to the people around you. Since I haven’t birthed a child yet, this Mother’s Day, I’m honoring five mothers who have molded the woman I am today.
As a kid, I admired the friendships between the female characters from iconic sitcoms “Girlfriends” and “Living Single.” Despite the friendship red flags, they had a sisterhood I wanted to duplicate. These women were funny, ambitious, successful, held each other down, and lived their best lives!
Binge-watching Netflix’s Love is Blind is like eating ice cream so fast you get a brain freeze. There were sweet moments and other moments that made me stop and have an honest conversation with my husband.
Many singles between 25-40 have turned to reality TV love shows in a last-ditch effort to find “their person” and get married. They thought that deserted islands or building connections through a pod would help them find the perfect partner. Once the couples are no longer in their bubble and have to work through day-to-day challenges, they struggle to maintain the spark they developed in the pods.
Effective communication is the key in any successful relationship, especially in marriage. It’s the key ingredient to maintaining a happy and healthy bond. Without it leads to frequent disagreements, distrust, and ultimately a breakdown in the relationship.
