Surviving My Mother's Death. Part 12-14

     Recognizing what my Mother wanted for me is essential for my continued  growth.  As a kid, I remember going to work with my mom on "bring your daughter to work" days. It was such a wonderful experience to be allowed at least a once a year as my Mother's assistant for the day. The program was a great idea and hopefully, it still continues in some form in most corporations and small businesses. It taught me the value of having a career, focus and stability and it made me respect the hard work my mother put in for over 30 plus years. 

    However, the creative side of my brain always wanted more than a corporate position. I fought it it for many years. Now, I desire to be in both the professional and the entrepreneurial world. When I learned that in order to satisfy what I believe my mother wanted for me, I no longer felt the pressure to choose. She just wanted me to be happy.

My Mother's Only Daughter

 January 10, 2023     Today, I decided to not survive, but thrive! A few years ago I started writing on my blog again after the passing of my beautiful Mother, Alma Jean Dortch Littleton. It helped me to vent and at that time, begin my Life without her. But, I am not without her...she's here. I can feel her protecting me and guiding my decisions every day. She is just not here physically. Although many people in my family would always call me her junior, it is more apparent now. The way I jumped into hosting mode to make sure my entire home was cleaned, food stocked, fresh sheets and towels available for family coming from out of town for her funeral, all while looking well put together, was such a mom thing. I made sure everyone was comfortable and couldn't stop cleaning and hosting. I could see the worry in my aunts, uncle and cousins eyes. I couldn't stop making sure everything was perfect.       Perfect for MY MOM's FUNERAL and for the family. She ...

My Mother's Only Child. I Voted!!!

      I have memories of my mother being excited to see me vote for the first time. It was at the public library and the excitement that we had was quite overwhelming. Years later, after her death I felt my mom with me today as I voted for a person that represents me and many others in this country. I could feel her hug on me as I became emotional while stepping up in line. I feel confident, calm and excited! Yes, it's still a bit overwhelming and as tired as I am, I am READY!!! We got this!!!

My Mother's Only Child-- What I've been up to?

 February was my Birthday month, and it was nice. Finally took a long-awaited trip to California, San Francisco to be exact and I quite enjoyed it. Solo trips are my thing, and it is one of best therapy tools that I used in the last few years. Staying in downtown San Fran in Fisherman Wharf was the perfect spot to enjoy food trucks, local stores, participate in a street festival, take a yacht tour to see the Golden Gate bridge and relax on the beach. Perfect weather, nice people and the best time to meditate and spiritually thank my Mom and all my relatives watching over me. A superb experience. I highly recommend anyone that has made it to the healing part of the grieving process to do solo trips. It is what your loved ones would want for you. Well Worth it! My Mother's Only Child, Sherri M. Littleton
