Spotlight on Single Mother Business Owner-Cathy Beggan

A single mother of three children, Cathy Beggan was tired of waking up feeling groggy. She was stressed, she needed more sleep and yearned for time to rest without feeling overly tired. Her kids and job was demanding and after drinking one too many cups of coffee throughout the day, she knew she needed to change. Not only for herself, but for others that were in her situation.

In comes the concept of a tablet that had a time-release coating. The Wake Up On Time tablet makes you feel refreshed first thing in the morning. The Wake Up On Time tablet, which enables you to take this product BEFORE you go to sleep without it keeping you awake, has ingredients that slowly start to disperse throughout the body as you sleep. An all natural remedy that Cathy put her heart and soul into creating, is an essential for mothers who are constantly on the go and do not want to feel tired all the time.

I plan to purchase the Wake Up On Time tablet for the simple fact of me needing more energy to tackle all of my motherly duties. Kids, work, dreams, aspirations, staying fit, etc., etc. I advise you to read Cathy Beggan's story about herself and her product. She stresses the importance of product recognition, marketing and just overall stepping out on faith and not taking NO for an answer.

Single moms: It can be done! I am impressed with Cathy's story and am thankful for people like her. She is truly an inspiration to us all. Support her and her products by visiting: www.wakeupontime.com

Kids who Volunteer

Today I came across a young man's story here. 11 year-old Zach Bonner, from Tampa, FL started his own non-profit organization called the Little Red Wagon Foundation. His mission is to walk from Atlanta to DC and raise money for homeless kids across America. He has a passion for helping people, using his trademark red wagon to hold and distribute food items and bottled water when Hurricane Charley hit FL in 2004.

With technology driving people to stay in tune to their social networking sites, video games and fancy cell phones, we (I include myself here) could be steering away from volunteering. Volunteering is a good way to rebuild your resume and teach your children values. And although us single mothers have limited time to volunteer, there are ways to make time to do a good deed. Besides, our children need to see the importance of helping others. Check out sites such as www.dosomething.org and www.volunteermatch.org.

Kudos to Zach! I am rooting for you and will make a pledge to your mission. Hopefully I will see you in DC!
