The meeting with our professional fundraisor went very well on Thursday morning, very SOBERING as well as "OH MY GOODNESS.....!!!"
Inge and I are doing a lot of processing and we're also compiling our concept document (yes we got some crucial homework to do), and we'll be checking in with her in ten days' time. At one point in the conversation our fundraiser got goosebumps, yes, the real thing. She was THAT excited and inspired.
She also added that we had "ba11s of steel".... hmmmm, I trealise it's simply part of every woman's journey to discover, embrace and powerfully own them.
Ellen (12) says: "I'm very excited to go on this journey. I REALLY REALLY REALLY want to GO!!. And I can't wait! I think the bus is going to be an amazing experience for our TWO whole families."
Jennah (8) says: "I want to go NOW. I'm really excited and I can't wait to sleep on the top bunk with my friend Ellen."
Jordan (10) says: "I can't wait, and I think it's gonna be a lot of fun. And I can't wait to go to Jeffreys Bay to surf."
Inge and I are meeting with a professional corporate fundraiser first thing tomorrow morning, and we will be psyched and upbeat on our next blog entry..... we don't KNOW that, at the same time we will know how viable getting the bus is. We're on tenterhooks!! And the children's excitement is infectious.
I am inspired by endless possibilities, powerfully choosing intentional living as the fertile soil and foundation from which I am constantly growing.
My good friend Inge and I are planning to travel South Africa as two single moms,with our children, Ellen aged 12, Jennah 8, and Jordan 10, "road-schooling" in an experiential way, while living in a converted luxury coach touring bus. Our epic journey will be journalled & blogged daily, and we will be in Skype connection with our "real" school's teachers (http://www.synergyschooling.co.za).
We are planning our epic journey to start June 2009 and will be checking in with other home-schoolers around the country. Making this opportunity available for various children & guardians to experience learning on the road with us too will make a difference and inspire children to be and do whatever they dream, and create an “I can” attitude in them, our future leaders.
I am honoured to be among women of greatness on this website, thank you Ellie Drake.
