A little honest and raw post 🥺
I’m not one to usually open up like this on such a new account but I felt compelled to do this after a really hectic week. Behind this beautiful photo there’s been a fair few tears, moments of sadness and anger. I am so grateful for Sarah and her support since we started this endeavour not even 7 months ago. Gosh we have grown so much in such a short time!
Your eyes really open up when you’re totally immersed in a new world. Having a background running my own business in the wellness space and Jimmy’s business in the entertainment/ tourism industry. Homeschool Adventures Club has taught me a LOT, here is what I have learned these past 7 months.
1. You can and are capable to do anything you desire! ✨ But how much work are you willing to put in to make it happen? When bringing anything new into your life, there are things that will be compensated and sacrifices made.
2. There are people who will love and support you always, these are your gems in life. 🙌🏽 Cheering you on, sharing what you are creating with others, purchasing to support (if applicable). Holding space and simply being there in all the ways. ♥️
3. There are people who will not like you and may never will, for whatever reason it may be. They are not your people and your spirit shouldn’t sweat it for a second. If you know in your heart you are doing something truely wonderful for the world, carry on and see it through. You’re not here to please, you’re not here for approval. You are here to make a blimp of a difference in your world and community. 🕊️
4. Patience, manners and etiquette goes a LONG way. Everyone in the world is busy and has a lot going on. That doesn’t mean we need to compromise being kind humans. Being courteous of others time is valuable, being courteous to reply, acknowledge or communicate is detrimental to being a decent beautiful human being. I’m no angel in this department that’s for sure. But I sure strive to be better, I even make sure to reply to Facebook Marketplace messages even if I don’t go ahead buying it 😂
5. When something has a greater purpose, bigger and beyond you. It will always work out! On days when it may feel hard or challenging. I always reflect on our purpose and mission reminding me why we are putting so much work into this. It’s not for personal gain in any way, quite the opposite (we personally and as a family have made sacrifices to make space for this). But because it’s for our community, broader communities and even beyond! (we’ve had people reach out to us from Wollongong! 😲).
But we know all our hard work, hour long calls until 1am, a handful of sleepless nights and all the sacrifices both myself and Sarah have made is all totally WORTH IT! For the sake of our children and what we are creating for them. As well as our communities children’s, families and beyond. We have a vision and we know the homeschool community is changing. We are over of the lack of commitment, the flakiness and the flow on effect and example of that falling on the children, we are making a change and redefining the homeschool community for the better! We are so grateful to be able to do this and we thank everyone who has supported us from the beginning. 🧡🥹✨🕊️
