Mama Strong

These are my two favorite soul collages because they were made for me by Addie. She is so encouraging and always wants to bring out the best in others. I love this about her.

In these images she is telling me I am strong, I am a leader, and I am tough. Believe me, there is nothing like hearing this from your little girl. Sometimes I worry about letting her down. I know she doesn't expect me to be perfect- and she's only 8! It is interesting the added pressure I put on myself to succeed knowing Addie is watching and learning.

I imagine these will always be my most special soul collages.

I value inspiration and innovation...a new and better way!

I have found in my rbbp soul searching that it is important to me to come up with new ways of doing things, to be innovative and creative. I am an idea person. Often my creative ideas are better than the "creative product" that I actually come up with in the end. I think the innovative ideas portion is my more developed strength.

I always imagined myself coming up with some sort of system. Something to make things more simple or even better, more efficient. I can't say that I've come up with anything yet for a financial planning innovation but it is always in the back of my head. I have to remind myself that I don't need to re-invent the wheel to make a difference in people's lives but I have to pay attention to the fact that coming up with a new system is always in the back of my head.

My best idea is to come up with a new way to organize personal finance. Something for the creative mind. I've thought about work at home business moms and their need for a simple system for their small business.
I'd like it to be creative like the rbbp. An app, a computer program, a journal... something to be clear, concise, simple and helpful. This is as far as I've gotten, for now.
