Goodbye from Calli

Have you ever had to make a decision that was right for yourself, but hurtful to those around you? I suppose a close example could be breaking up with someone you love, but are not 'in love with" anymore. You are still really fond of them, and care about them deeply, but the passion is gone.

That's happening to me right now.

When our eldest daughter was 5 months old, I sat down and imagined  my "perfect"  work/life balance. I wanted to start a business and work from home. So I embarked upon a journey that led me to meeting Linda and establishing Mums on the Go.

The problem is, I am living my "dream life" and finding that paradise isn't how I imagined it to be, and not very enjoyable.

I have discovered I  don't like running my own business. I love the creative elements, but the day to day responsibilities of being a business owner have  reached that "tipping point" where I don't want to do it anymore. 

This is an awful realisation. I have established Mums on the Go in partnership with someone else. I am hurting them terribly, and that is really hard to come to terms with.

But as much as I want to continue being an owner of Mums on the Go because of a commitment I have made to Linda, the bottom line is that my heart isn't in it.  So Linda and I have decided that I will be leaving Mums on the Go in the month or two. It has been a tremendously difficult decision to make, but i know it is the right one for me.

This isn't the "Last Goodbye", you will hear from me again as Linda and I work through all the transition details, but I certainly won't be a large presence from now on.

Linda will be posting a follow up blog in a day or two about where my decision leaves her and the viability of Mums on the Go....

Love Calli xxxx
