Who Am I – I am Mum and I Want to Help

Following on from my post yesterday about all of my thinking and trying to work out what I needed I have been thinking some more today.

About who I am?

And you know what I am Mum.

And I am ok with that.

Obviously I am ok with that, who wouldn’t be.

But I am not just talking about being mum at home I am just mum in general.

And by that I mean that I like to help people. I have always liked to help people.

I have always worked with children, right up until I had my own children.

I have worked as a childminder, nanny, in schools, as a babysitting and in a care home. Always with children.

And I loved every minute of all of those jobs.

I loved working with the children and helping them, helping them to learn and watching them grow.

And actually somewhere along the line I have lost that, not lost that I love helping people, that is still there but lost that is in there. It’s almost like I have forgotten about it. If that makes sense at all.

I have been trying to scramble the words out of my head all day and still not sure I am doing it in the right way.

But in a way I had forgotten my why.

It is something that is said to us all the time in Tropic and in all businesses like that what’s your why remember your why for this business.

My why has always been my boys, I am doing this business for my boys.

And actually yes I am but my why is a lot bigger than that.

I am doing it for me, and for anyone that I can help as I love to help people.

It’s why I blog about Rhianna, people ask why I write out all that pain. I do it for me yes, it heals me. But the bigger why is that one person who has absolutely no one in the world who understands their pain, that one person may just one day read Rhianna’s blogs and know that I get it. And that’s my why to help that one person.

It’s why I scrapbook and why I initially started Scrapbookerry. I started it because I love scrapbooking I live and breathe it. But also my why was if I could teach one person the importance of scrapbooking over other albums then their memories where being preserved and handed from generation to generation. It was never about the money the why was always about teaching others the importance of keeping our memories safe.

It’s the same with talking about my weight loss, sometimes it is really hard to sit here and write about blog about putting on weight and not loosing it. But that’s ok, because my why is that, an honest post like that may just help someone who is reaching for the wrong food and heading for a bad day, bad week and walking back into their bad ways.

My why with Tropic is helping people, not just for the boys. But helping others. The minute I used Tropic for the first time on Boos skin I knew I had to tell the world. I knew I could help others with their skin and I knew I had to be shouting about it. And that’s my why there.

I have been the kid with the hideous skin, the one that was medicated and the one that didn’t go through the easiest of times, while I had the acne.

I am the mother that’s child cried when you even touched his skin with a product. I have cried with him and have begun to learn more and more about what I am doing with our products and his skin.

Now I have sat and thought about it the whys are always falling back to helping people.

And I am perfectly ok with that.

I am not a sales person, I am a person that wants to help others. I want to help by writing about my experiences, I want to help by learning about my crafts and skincare and make up. I want to help by sharing what I know. I want to help by showing people how my weight loss journey is going. I want to help by writing about our babyloss journey. I want to help teaching about photo safety. I want to help by talking and showing people Tropic.

I just want to help.

It doesn’t matter what context I am working in, my why is always I want to help.

And now I know it I need to pick it up and work with it.
