I've sat down to write this post with so much to share and am finding it very difficult to put into words. But here goes-
Things have been a bit quiet at Support for Mums since just before Christmas. I seemed to put everything on hold. I spent some quality time with my little family away camping and loved every minute of it. I also spent a lot of time reflecting on what I was about to create and how daunting it has been for me at times.
I have a passion and a vision for this service and every time I mention it to someone they also seem to share my passion and believe that there is such a need for Support for Mums to be operating.
In early December I visited an accounting firm to discuss the framework and structure that I need to set up to best benefit mums and their families. We need to be able to raise money (and lots of it), we will need a board that sits monthly (approx) and have an AGM. An auditor will complete the books and there will be a secretary, treasurer and chair person.
Me, I just want to support mums and their families during difficult times and possibly alleviate some of the stress but this is what will be happening behind the scenes before I can get started.
Why did things slow down? Was it just because it was the Christmas period and I was spending time with the family, was it because I was getting my son ready for his 1st big day of school? Yes probably, but I also believe I needed to sit back for a little and reflect on what I was actually creating.
I have a plan and goals. I have to do list and appointments to make. I have lots of sticky notes and a kick ass diary system.
I'm back and can't wait to get this service up and running to assist and support so many mums and their families when they need it the most. ox
