Sheryl Sandberg is the author of Lean In as well as the Chief Operating Officer of Facebook. Her husband died suddenly last year and she is now in the throes of single motherhood.
For mothers day she wrote an essay on Facebook about her plight as a single mom and a call to action to help single moms .
Single mothers are the pioneers of leaning in.
Regardless of the community support, loving friends, and family it is up to the single mom to get it done.
Get it done is the puke bug in the middle of the night and both dealing with the clean up and the care of the infected child.
Get it done is the flu that hit the single mom who still has to care for children and work.
Get it done is the waiting up til tires crunch in the driveway all alone.
Get it done is the hours of homework help.
Get it done is the being three places at the same time.
Get it done is the creative and heart wrenching financial planning.
Get it done is loving the life you have leaned into, even when it is beyond hard.
Love is forgetting the single mom stigma and simply doing it with joy because you can.
You can do it.
You are way more than single mom.
Try Super Hero!
