After spending the past 3 weeks working diligently on my business, staying up until 1:00am and then waking at 6am, the imbalance is quickly setting in.
Always being an adventurous soul, I decided to jump in with both feet to really get my business Vitality Ventures up and running in full form. Its a business that's been almost dead for over 5 years.
Although I'm so happy to be doing what I love, I admit that I'm exhausted. This rolls over into my boys' lives as well, meaning that I'm trying to get work done while they eat lunch or while they're playing in the backyard. I miss playing with my children.
Therefore, I enter the ring, fighting with balance once again.
What Holimamas out there have found the balance between work and family without putting their children into childcare a few days per week? Is it possible?
Babysitters are great, but what about changing the paradigm a bit so that we work as community? What if every community created their own babysitting cooperative?
Parents could take turns watching each others' children while work was being done by moms and dads, appointments were attended to and shopping and tasks were easily taken care of.
Its time we Holimamas and parents created solid community again. Communities of trust, understanding and companionship.
Here goes! My local community childplay co-op is beginning!
Stay tuned for updates to this exciting project to bring community back!
