Objective for this website to provide an online environment, a place I could store information for my family and friends, site has been long over due for content, always has been will get around to it, after many years of the site being up, feel like its time to use it for its intentions.
Been along time trying to build the confidence to stand up and do something I believed in and being self conscience has taken sometime to over come. I'm not a perfect person, have made of lot of decisions that have held me back.
Lately I have been really soul searching so to speak, what do I want to truely do? I want to do what I have always wanted to do and that's help people, I feel like I have been hiding inside a shell, and feel like its time to start making some real actions to really take ownership of my life.
I don't know if anyone reading my thoughts truly understand where I'm coming from? but I really want to try to make something good happen one day at a time, I have all these ideas that have been floating around inside me for a long time and want to give myself a chance.
Basically I want to provide an option for people to share information they think, would be benefit others in our community, I have never been very strong with expressing myself in words. But I want to start somewhere.
Do believe in our community, and believe our community has so much potential, I want at less try to help although I understand I'm not perfect and may let people down at times, but I do want to bring the odds more in my favour to minimise letting people down.
My daughter is now 5 and will be 6 in Feb, I have been a solo dad, since the first day she left the hospital. I want to be able to show my daughter I respect myself and I respect others as growing up, there are decisions I haven't benefitted from.
Lately I have been trying to provide options for people, local businesses another place on the net to share with our community.
Been asking local businesses if they wouldn't mind if I took a photo of the front of there shops, details about what they offer and any other important details that would help our community.
Been contacting organisations in our community asking if they would like another option to share their resources, I would love to have a place that I could go to that had news about our community, about events happening local, has been many times something has happened and I wasn't aware.
It's not always easy to ask for help, or where do I go for help and learn in my own time, so I was thinking perhaps others may feel the same?
I hope over time, people will learn the substance of what I want to provide to my family and friends, and future friends also visitors too.
Would like to ask if anyone would like to share anything that they may feel would help others, to let us know and will see what we can do.
Thanks for reading my textbook, lol.
