In just a few weeks from now, we will be celebrating our 10th Anniversary as T.E.A.M.Mom! The upcoming year (2016) will be paved with many new and exciting adventures for me, as I let go of so many of my own apprehensions and fears that have been hindering me in several areas of my life. Some could not wait for this new direction and decided sadly, to abandon me, that is ok, I understand, everyone's journey is different; some have their paths set in stone, with out the obstacles and trials that others might have. We all have to grow at our own pace.
The past 2 years since my mother's passing (she was the original inspiration and co founder), I needed time to heal, time to figure out where I wanted to go with T.E.A.M.Mom!; I was just holding on as long as I could, to her dream, to her. A simple conversation, one fateful New Years Eve 9 years ago, when my mom and I sat, wondering what on earth we could do to help change our circumstances for our family and at the same time help encourage others. As many were ringing in the New Year, filled with laughter, renewed joys and faith, I was contemplating and tossing about her words, wondering if we could actually do this.
The next step is going to be very emotional for me, I am embarking on the continuation of my journey, alone, without my mom Kathleen, the main reason T.E.A.M.Mom! even existed, I needed time to let her and her dream go. I have no idea how long my new road will take to pave forth, I have no preconceived expectations of success or whether or not we will be here for another year.... what I do have is the faith to keep on believing that all of the tears, prayers, laughter, joy was worth something special. Whether or not you all continue to take the step with me, is up to you! Thank you for the last 9 1/2 years!
