In my last post I reflected on ‘why’. Why are we doing this? What are we trying to accomplish? Well, I didn’t quit, I am still going, and I think re-visiting this topic will help me to focus. So:
Why are we doing this? What are we trying to accomplish?
I first think of something I wrote 2 years ago in an earleir post, when we started this website:
The world needs Bernadette. We have lost sight of a lot, we really need to step back and see things a little more clearly through the eyes of a 6 year old. These stories, and Bernadette are our way to make this world just a little bit better.
Me, on a good day
That was two years ago, and the events of the world since then have shown that it is even more true today. The world needs Bernadette.
Yes, a second ‘why’ is my daughter and her drawing/art career. She loves to draw as much as ever, and I want to give her a chance to pursue this as a career. However, aiming for a career where she can solely improve her already incredible life, that’s not how we roll. Can she make a living (and where we are, a really good living) and also help others? Well, that would be right in our wheelhouse. (I think I will make a comic about the phrase ‘in your wheelhouse’ …..)
