POSITIVELY HELPFUL ASSISTANCE FOR CHILDREN AND FAMILIES
One of the big motivators when I started my business was to role model for my children what is possible for their lives.
.
I didn't want them to feel that they had to follow the traditional path of school + study, + degree + professional job = happiness!! I knew only too well that this is often not the case and there are so many reasons why!
.
I wanted them to look at my dream of empowering children [ to a greater understanding of who they are and what is possible for them] and know that they can create lives they are passionate about in areas that they choose!
.
I wanted them to observe me in all areas of my life. To see me totally under pressure, juggling so many balls while parenting the four of them on my own.
.
I wanted them to see me challenge myself outside my comfort zone!
.
I wanted them to see me achieve things people said wouldn't happen and they did many times over.
.
I wanted them to observe how I spoke to them about my feelings and how I could look at the situation in a different way.
.
I wanted them to grow up knowing who they are as individuals and what they are capable of.
.
I wanted them to know that they can BE, HAVE, Or DO ANYTHING that THEIR HEART DESIRES or THAT THEY DREAM OF!
.
I wanted them to know that they have more power in the tip of their pinky finger than any problem they should ever face. They have the power within themselves to find the answers they need.
.
PARENTS TAKE YOUR ROLE MODELLING SERIOUSLY!
.
Your children are watching both the good and the not so good.
.
While my dream is still being moulded into shape, my children are certainly living their lives knowing that anything is possible for them and I am one PROUD MUMMY.
.
ThoughtFULLY Parenting is the way to go!

ANZAC REMEMBRANCE 🙏
Ode of Remembrance
They shall grow not old,
as we that are left grow old;
Age shall not weary them,
nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun
and in the morning
We will remember them.
