			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div><span style="font-size: x-large;"><strong><span style="color: #ff99cc;">Advice for stepmoms on Mother&#8217;s Day:</span></strong><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-2110" style="border: 0.25px solid black;" title="mothers day advice" src="http://www.stepmommag.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/mothers-day-advice-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></span></div>
<div></div>
<div><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><strong><span style="color: #ff99cc;">*</span></strong>What you feel in your heart, and how you conduct yourself as a woman who plays an important role in the life of a child, is far more important than what society (or Hallmark) may, or may not, recognize. What you do matters.</p>
<p></span></span></span></div>
<div></div>
<div><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><strong><span style="color: #ff99cc;">*</span></strong> To childless or child-free stepmoms: Do not let your self-worth or your identity be defined by, or dependent upon, your maternal status. This weekend and always, <em>you </em>are enough.</p>
<p></span></span></div>
<div>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"><strong><span style="color: #ff99cc;"> *</span></strong> If you&#8217;re feeling alone or lonely: Use the day to reach out and recognize a woman in your life who has made a difference. Mother-figures, mentors and role models are blessings in any woman&#8217;s life. If you have one, tell her. We promise that doing so will make you feel better.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"><strong><span style="color: #ff99cc;"> *</span></strong> Remember that even if no one else tells you or acknowledges you this weekend, you are an incredible woman. To accept a job that offers little security, few accolades and no promise of unconditional love &#8211; while also managing the inherent complexities of stepfamily life &#8211; proves that you are strong, brave and AMAZING. Revel in the quiet knowledge that you do the right thing, because it&#8217;s the right thing to do.<br />
</span></p>
