It's so easy to get wrapped up in our problems and hectic lives that we forget sometimes about a world outside of our own, at least for me that's the case.  I get so involved in my craziness; stressing about my kid, how I'm going to make ends meet this month, what am I going to make for dinner, when am I going to finish the mountain of laundry?  In short, the list is endless.

So, I was looking at other mother's websites looking for a few words of inspiration, something to give me perspective or grounding, what I found brought me to tears and has inspired me to really feel and see beyond my four walls.

Life is a struggle for all of us, it comes with the territory when we are born into this world.  And to be a mother, whether single or married, is both a privilege and a burden, but that doesn't stop one blogger mom from kicking ass and taking names.

Her name is Rocky and she has a blog called Muthahood Ain't For Sissies.  The name says it all.  Rocky is also the founder of Mothers Fighting for Others.  Like I said, after visiting the MFFO site I realized that my everyday struggles with being a single mother are nothing compared to the struggles that girls in Africa face on a daily basis.  To stay alive, is a struggle.

I recommend visiting this site, it will inspire you, it will bring you to tears.  But more than anything I hope it will motivate you to reach out and give, not just to this amazing organization, but to your community as well.

I feel in my heart that we, mothers, are going to be the ones that make a difference in the world.  Because there is no love like the love a mother gives, to her children, to her family, to her community, to the world at large. Thanks Rocky, for the inspiration!
