Thinking Pink

Ok, like Jennie, I am new to blogging and I do not consider my self a writer of any sorts. In fact I find it difficult to put the thoughts in my brain into words. I commend writers and appreciate them so much. That being said here goes nothing, bad grammar and all!



Let's start with the work PINK or as we like to say People In Need of Kindness.



Jennie and I discuss being a mom every single day. We discuss the challenges that we face, the loneliness we feel, the frustration, the laughter the joy, really every detail of motherhood. We are so aware that being a mom is the most challenging thing we have ever done and the job is 24/7 it just never stops! We have also discussed that moms are trying to do it all, thinking "well other moms are doing it all, so can I" and we feel this type of thinking as left moms separated from each other instead of bonded together. So many people in my neighborhood have moved here from out of state, they are far from their immediate families, they are trying to do it all and be it everything to their family but often times they are left feeling alone and frustrated and just not understanding why.



I don't think we were meant to do it all alone, we are made to need families and friends and others who we can be authentic with, others who we can live and share our life with. I think that is why Blog spots like these have become so popular. We are desperate to find other people in similar situations, other moms who struggle, with the same feelings, we are people who are desperate to connect to people. What Team Pink wants to do is to take that need for authentic friendships and build on that. We want to be a community that is bonded together through life, a group that can depend on neighbors and friends for support and words of encouragement. We are People In Need of Kindness. We need a place to connect with people on line but it is critical we take that a step further and we get outside and meet the people we live next to, the people in our community so we can start building authentic relationships with the people around us. A community who can call on each other and rely on each other to listen, to help, to talk to face to face, to cry with and to laugh with.



Team Pink is a group of people who are excited to stop and help people right here and right now right where it is needed. We are a group of people dedicated to encourage and love on our neighbors. We feel strongly that being a mom is on of the most difficult jobs in the world and nothing can be harder than being a single mom. We are currently focused on blessing single moms and encouraging them through acts of kindness. Do you know of a single mom who could use a blessing? Are you someone who could use a blessing? We encourage you to share your stories, not just here on-line but with your neighbor, your mom, your sister, your friend. We encourage you to open your heart, let go of fear and get really honest with yourself and others. We encourage you to step out and love on your neighbors and to know that no matter where we are in life we are all just People in Need of Kindness.
