No offense Jessie J, but I am
inclined to think that you are left to simply ‘make the world dance’ because the
‘money, money, money’ is already taken care of, by your record contract
presumably.
Although our little company
was born out of a passion for change, we are very much beholden to the bank, or
rather the grant, in order to get it off the ground. My kids love that song and I am very taken
with the sentiment; being motivated by belief, not image and cash is admirable,
aspirational even, but you sort of need the cash stash too, or it remains just
a just a dream. I am sure this is no revelation
to you!
Yet there is a beacon of hope
on the horizon, we have been provisionally awarded a grant by the lovely folks
at Awards for All. Hooray, cue the
music, balloons, dancers and most importantly…. the dishwasher! Renee and I are extremely excited and
mentally spending it on delightful equipment for the kitchen. No more ‘crazy cat lady’ stares and comments
as we drag our blenders around the corner in shopping trollies, no more piling
the dishes high on the tiny draining rack, HUZZAH! Of course we must be more
measured in reality. The money is not ours
until it is in the bank and there are strict parameters about what we can spend
it on, but each and every item will be needed and cherished. We can also set
about planning a celebration event with games, merchandise, free food and
entertainment, just as we dreamed. I am
feeling blessed.
Please do not think that my
opening rant is change of heart on my part.
ABSOLUTELY NOT. I am as much now
as I have always been and always will be a believer in living according to your
beliefs and morals; my ideals, my faith and my family will always be my
motivators. I guess my point is that you
have to work bloomin’ hard to put the wheels in motion and get the help you
need, financial or otherwise.
