A new month. The weather has definitely changed for the fall. Rain, even hail have replaced our sunshine. I'm hoping for some good winter weather so I can concentrate on inside projects like sitting cuddled in front of the fireplace to read my graduate school assignments.
The kids are back in school and just now beginning to find their stride. Both at new schools, new schedules, new homework. A lot of adjustment and we are just ending the week with kids at school as they spent the first few days home with bad colds.
As for me, I'm feeling good. My theory paper is done and I'm pleased with the outcome! Instead of design teams to plan another day of learning, this year we are moving to consulting teams with a real client and an actual issue to address. I'm excited about my team and our client and think that we have an opportunity to really be of service.
The foundation is finally moving along. We're filing for incorporation this week and I suddenly have a huge to-do list that involves researching banks, looking for office space and setting up meetings to pitch the foundations to companies that might be willing to give us start-up money. It's exciting and scary at the same time. At this point I'm a one-person shop, but definitely need to begin identifying some volunteers that will help with the process. First stop, board members. I have my wish list - now I just have to begin to make the requests! Fingers crossed.
It's looking like it's going to be a very full and hopefully productive October!
