Changing the world one mother at a time
4th Young Moms Support meeting was a huge success. The best ever.
We had a surprise baby shower for Nadia, our preggie mom. Last few days had been a panic though, as I couldn't get hold of her. I'd spoken to her a couple of weeks ago and she'd assured me that she was coming – but she didn't know what we had planned. Then her phone stopped working and I couldn't contact her.
Worry panic gaaaah what if she doesn't come?
Eventually she called me this morning. "Naah, I don't feel well, don't think I'm going to come today", she says.
Nuh-uh – you WILL be coming, missy – says I. I had to tell her why, was the only way to make sure she turned up.
She changed her mind pretty quick when she heard and we had an awesome time.
She was overwhelmed by the love and support shown to her by "almost strangers". And that's what we're about, after all. So much love, empathy and caring in that room today, I'm surprised the roof stayed on. Not to mention the noise, chaos and stickiness of a dozen assorted toddlers and babies. LOUD doesn't begin to describe it.
As for the babies, oh my hat, have you EVER seen creatures as gorgeous as these?
We were joined by some special guests today: Natalie Woodman, an old school mate of mine, Sharon Swanepoel and her daughter Jess who kept the little ones amused and Ayanda Tini, Good Hope FM DJ and mom who was there with her sweet lil girl and kindly posed for pics with some starstruck moms. 
We're doing good things. Changing the world, one mother at a time. And that's no joke.
Life is good. I am grateful to be part of something so special.
