Ask for Help
by Sarah Juliusson

Think back to the last time you needed help as a mother. Did you reach out? Who did you call? How did it feel to ask for help?

We all need help

A newspaper article was sent to me this week about the ideals and reality of being a mompreneur in today’s business world. A couple of mompreneurs faced the dark-side of doing business when their ideas were stolen or they were undercut by the competition. On a brighter note, other mompreneurs had good experiences in starting their businesses where other moms and mentors provided much needed support.

With all the doom and gloom media headlines about the housing bubble burst, recession, stock market declines and comparisons to the Great Depression, along with our days getting shorter and more dreary weather and rain, it could be easy for many of us to get trapped into negative thinking.

Next week is Thanksgiving and I believe there is a lot to be thankful for: our family and children, our friends and relationships, our health and wholesome food, our beautiful cities and towns, our parks and outdoor playgrounds.
