When I think back through the past few years and all I’ve done without really ever having a “real” job, I think it’s pretty remarkable (though, I may be biased!)
Yesterday’s campaign by Bloggin’ Mamas to raise #50kIn1Day really showed me something about myself that I hadn’t really noticed or acknowledged before: when something is important to me, I go for it, wholeheartedly! I’m loyal up the wazoo. If I believe in you, I will go all out for you. If you’ll take my help, I’m more than happy to give it. When no one else will step up, I feel the need to do more than my part for the greater good.
But it goes the other way, too. If I’m not feeling valued for all I give, I get disheartened, disenchanted and that is when I give up. Because everything one does in life results in sacrificing somewhere else, I have to feel that my time, energy and efforts are appreciated or I won’t stick with it.
It’s not that I’m a quitter, it’s that I’m not a waster. Just like I hate to waste food, plastic, gas, money; I hate to waste my efforts. If I’m not going to be appreciated then I will spend my energy somewhere else.
I’ve made the decision that I want to spend my excess time and energy on Beyond Mommying, I want to grow, reach more people and I want to help other mommies and companies with great products and ideas reach more people!
While I can almost always find something nice to say, I’ve never been good at sharing false opinions so if you have a product or service you’d like an honest opinion and review on, Beyond Mommying is the place to get it!
