We are Mothers Alone Raising Sons who live in the great state of New York. This blog is not about "Mars" the planet, were not martians or aliens however can often feel this way. The call of raising any child or children alone has its own challenges but we need and love to encourage the rewards. Being a place predominantely geared towards single mothers who are raising sons does not in any way discriminate against men or other mothers who may also raise sons and/or daughters. We encourage ALL single parents to share their experiences, suggestions, advice, trials, tribulations and please don't leave out the triumphs.
We're initially a faith-base ministry but welcome those who are not. This site is a place to blog our journey, whether you journal in a book daily, weekly or monthly or not, please start to share here with us. Single mothers need all the support and encouragement in the world.
In closing, remember you are not alone spiritually and as long as we have a venue to express ourselves, God hears and we will never be. Let's start a new journey together...please respond and stay positive in spite of the negatives. YOU! single mothers, can raise successful children: sons and oh yes daughters too! Single fathers we welcome you...
A ministry that supports, encourages, prays and provides an outlet to write and talk about our lives as single mothers raising sons. Where positive behaviors are fostered which will promote total wellness and cohesiveness between mother and son over time. We give and fully accept advice and suggestions. Remembering we're not alone... If you would like to share a thought through this blog, send it to marsinnewyork@gmail.com, looking forward to hearing what you have to write!
