For all single parents out there, I think you expressed the emotions that are felt when we find ourselves in that place where we are handed a plate of responsibility that we feel we can’t handle alone; yet there we are, seemingly on our own.

I think the most successful people in life come to realize that no one can do it alone. It takes great courage to show others your weakness. Then it takes more courage to ask for and accept help. But to truly succeed, giving back is the key. You obviously understand that concept. I wish you great success.

Your site is awesome.

Very inspiring and I`m thrilled with this new development, I`ve already promoted it on my blog! (then I realized there is an affiliate program . . . even better!).

As for failing . . . I doubt there in an entrepreneur out there who hasn`t failed with at least one business idea! I know I have, plenty of times. But each failure teaches us and helps us move forward, as you have plainly shown.

Thank YOU, Wendy. Thank YOU.

I am honored to be a part of the faculty for SparkplugU. I hope to share some of the things I’ve learned the hard way with others who want to have an easier experience. I truly appreciate your effort to keep the price affordable, too – I promise you’ll make some people’s days, months, years and maybe even lives through this.

You will never fail because you decided long ago to succeed and you are one of the strongest spirits I’ve ever met.

Keep inspiring us, Wendy!

What an amazing story Wendy. And it doesn’t matter that your first business failed. You never really fail, unless you stop trying and what you learned then has brought you to where you are now.

That’s beautiful, Wendy.

I’m not going to comment on the new site cuz I’m pretty sure you would see the comment on Problogger. Although I’m no mom (obviously) and I wasn’t looking to start a home business, I was taken in by your story, what you have gone through and what you set out to share with the world. And I’ve been following your journey ever since. And I’m glad to see you have the opportunity to share even more with the world with SparkplugU.

Wendy, I have said this before and I will say it again. You truly are an inspiration. It is an impossibility that anyone can visit Sparkplugging.com or SparkplugU.com and come away saying “I can’t”…Thank you for believing in moms everywhere.

Boy, can I relate. I’m doing pretty good for a former teen mom, huh?

Wendy, your site is so awesome and so good – I can’t help but be proud of you, and I just follow along!

Have you ever stopped and thought to yourself “Wow, I can’t believe I am where I am!” ? I know i did that at least twice this week.
