Mother's Day means a lot to me. Especially now that I have 2 children of my own and realise just what it takes to be a mum. My mother was my inspiration for this business and I am eternally grateful that she believed in me enough to give me the capital to start C Si Bon.
The daily life juggle between career and motherhood is something I see everyday. Thankfully all of the mum's I surround myself with don't judge me if my house is untidy, the kids hair isn't perfect or if I'm not looking sensational! There's always a "you go girl" or "you're doing so well" or "can I help" at school drop off and pick ups. This energy and warm-spirited thoughtfulness spurs me on to go out and try a little harder to get this start up started up!
This Mother's Day I am grateful for my life and everything in it. I am grateful for the little things, the little wins, my beautiful girls, my hard working husband, my gorgeous girlfriends, my ever-present parents, my in-laws, my brothers. I'm thankful that people buy something that I create and love it and tell other people about it. I'm thankful for this beautiful country we get to call home. I'm thankful that I get to work at my truth every single day. Who knows where this journey will end but I'm enjoying the process and all that it brings. I doubt myself often but then something will happen to change my thought process around and make me believe in myself once again and I'm off!
This Mother's Day be sure to give that mother figure in your life an extra special hug. She deserves it. We all deserve it.
Thank you for helping me keep my dream alive.
