Wow!!

A big heart-felt thanks to all of you for taking the time to respond with such sound and genuine advice.

The common messages echoing throughout YOUR comments are: “be true to yourself”, and “have faith in who you are and what you do”. Thank you! Sometimes, even when you do believe in yourself, it’s empowering to hear those words from others, and to know that what you’re doing is perceived in the way that you intended it to be.

I can’t tell you how happy I am that, for many of us, our name conjures up the same innocent images: happy children without a care in the world, running free, having the time of their lives.

I realize that there will always be criticism (you can’t please ‘em all!), but thank you for pointing out that it’s the content of the blog that matters more than the title. And as many of you have suggested, if someone raises an eyebrow when they see our name, they can either check us out, and hopefully like what they see, or they can move on. Does it matter if it’s the latter? Nope! I’m not out to advertise my daycare, or acquire new clients with my blog, so if people choose to move on, that is totally ok. My intent is for “Happy Hooligans” to be a place of sharing and inspiration, as many of your blogs have been for me.

Thank you for reminding me of what’s important, and for taking the time to have a look at what we get up to and into here. The fact that many of you “love” the name, and like what you’ve seen puts a big smile on my face, and lets me know that I’m doing this for all the right reasons!

THANK YOU!! I already know that I’m going to love being a part of this community!

LONG LIVE HAPPY HOOLIGANS!!
