Hold on to your own ideas with strength and purity, and whatever obstructions may now be in your way, the world is bound to listen to you in the long run. . . . - Swami Vivekananda ------------------------------------------------ A History Of Strong, Single Women And Mothers Day ------------------------------------------- Mothers Day is a terrific time to honor the women who put their familys care, well-being and happiness above all else. While motherhood is always challenging, single moms have a special reason to celebrate Mothers Day. Hard work, long hours, sacrifices and doing the job of both Mom and Dad can be exhausting—heres to the women who do it alone. As a single mom on Mothers Day, celebrate your hard work and triumphs as a mom while also recognizing those strong women who came before you. St. Helena Augusta was the first famous abandoned mother, living from about 250 AD to 330 AD. She Emperor Constantine I by herself while simultaneously changing the face of Christianity. The mother of Alexander the Great, Olympia, and Cleopatra were both powerful single mothers who ruled nations and charted their own courses in history. Celebrating the Mother of Mothers Day (and Her Mother) Born in 1864, Anna Jarvis is the founder of Mothers Day. She was never a mom herself but Anna Jarvis was devoted to her mother, Ann Maria Reeves Jarvis, who founded the Mothers Day Work Clubs. The women in these clubs worked to improve sanitary and health conditions in five cities across the country. The Mothers Day Work Clubs also cared for soldiers on both sides of the Civil War, treating wounds while providing food and clothing. In 1907, during a memorial service for her mother at Andrews Methodist Church in Grafton, West Virginia, Anna Jarvis decided to create a holiday celebrating mothers. To promote acceptance of the holiday and honor their mothers, people wore carnations—white to pay tribute a deceased mother and red to honor a living one. Jarvis campaign worked. Philadelphia celebrated its first official Mothers Day the next year and it became a national holiday in 1914. The tradition of sending flowers on Mothers Day also comes from Anna Jarvis. According to MothersDayCelebration, carnations were Annas mothers favorite flower and she said that they symbolized a mothers pure love. Today, we send flowers from FTD and other delivery services—in a different method, but with the same symbolism in mind. Todays Single Moms Celebrate Mothers Day The tradition of strong single mothers still rings true today. Contemporary examples of successful single mothers include Halle Berry, Katie Couric, Sofia Vergara, and Jackie Kennedy Onassis. Like you, these women singlehandedly raise a family, maintain a household and have a successful career. Many of them are also in charge of celebrating holidays—even Mothers Day. Single mothers deserve extra exaltation on this special day and can arrange to visit the International Mothers Day Shrine, which now inhabits the Andrews Methodist Church where Anna Jarvis invented the holiday. - Social Sharing ------------------------------------------------ Special Note --------------------- Due to increased crime in India and across the world (especially on Girls), please reach ur house before it gets darker.
