“Self Care”
January/February 2007

Here we go again with the New Year Resolutions that start out with a bang and end with a fizzle. What is one to do?

Cathy, one of my good friends and mentors introduced me to preparing my own Self Care Plan. A twelve month outcome driven and oriented plan - focusing on my Physical, Emotional, Spiritual, Intellectual, and Financial schedule of events for the year. It will be an awesome undertaking, but a much needed healing and cleansing process for me.

We recently met to discuss my plan and I was introduced to a new restaurant called Karma - an organic vegetarian restaurant located in the Denver Platte River Neighborhood. Karma is the “first cafe in the Denver area to serve live, raw foods.” Not that I am turning into a vegan, but I just like good food – and I added this one to my list of healthy choices.

SMOC has placed another year behind it – and continuing its journey to serve, educate, and embrace our single motherhood journey. We had a few home purchases last year – which is a great endeavor within itself. We have some members struggling to make it mentally, physically, and financially. However, if we continue to share our stories – we can make our invisible state – visible to those around us.
