Zappy Springs

Hello world..

So my blogs are terribly spread out. I’m terrible at blogging but I am a pretty good writer. But I don’t always make since …So here it goes… post #4
I realize that Zappy Springs is more than just a business or so called business since everything I do is backwards. But Zappy Springs has become more like an extended family member to my personal life. Zappy Springs has hit 1,000 plus visitors in 7 months. Zappy came about on mother’s day of this year!! Crazy 7 months, 1,000 plus visitors, I have learned a great deal, and I have failed terribly and but I’m fearless and so eager to learn and explore all options put in front of me!

The Zappy Booth By Zappy Springs

The photo I posted is an event I did for Oh Snap. This was for a good cause to help bring in funds for a scholarship at Texas State. I hope they were able to raise enough money, these where a great group of people putting this event on!! But this was probably the most organized event I have ever been a part of! We needed electricity for one of my lights and one of the volunteers who helped us didn’t think twice to do what he could to help us out! Awesome huh?

(PS: The Zappy Booth photo is a picture of my daughter and her 1 hour friend she met) Lots more on our website – http://zappysprings.com/ohsnap2010

This was just one of many events zappy has been a part of! Right now Zappy is doing family photo shoots which I used my home school network to get business and Woo Hoo I got 15 shoots booked!!

Home school

If you didn’t know I home school my son. Off the beaten path of just writing about Zappy’s accomplishments home schooling my son is another one!
I think honestly I lost faith in the western educational system, our government, and health care… after some deep emotional thought I pulled my son off the grid and decided to homeschool. Yes, I admit it’s tremendously hard and sometimes I wonder if I’m doing the right thing. But on several occasions I ask my son do you wanna go back to school?
He says No!!! I like homeschooling, nobody bullies me, and we get to do so much more then what I do in school. This is the mind of a 8yr old, who is quite the character with not a lot of common since but more book smart, and super analytical—We make a good match I’m the dreamer and he keeps me on track!

Whoever is reading this my ADD is kicking in at high gear and I’m sure I’m all over the place by now, but I guess that’s what makes this an interesting piece..
It’s been a while since I’ve blogged and a lot has happened since I last wrote. Christmas is upon us and I’ve been doing some major soul and mind searching.
We are looking to purchase our first home (scary) since I’m commitment phobia and my son has been home schooling since August, and my toddler is growing up every second. But what has been drifting through my mind was starting a nonprofit. I leave this summer to do my first bio and documentary on orphans in South America. Also I hope to end my trip with more inspiriting knowledge and to write a book… I better get an editor!

I’ve collected random educational tools, baby diapers, first aid items and American magazines. I’m hoping to do a trade and with that trade they would allow me to interview and do some video. Yes, again I’m fearless, but I really want to make this a reality. I think I have always had this dreamer/realist mentality and somehow I intertwine them into one. But it doesn’t help that I’m a bit of a space cadet with ADD. I blame everything on my ADD.. It really does get the best of me sometimes.

But back to my documentary/bio idea I’m really hopping to come back to write a book on my experience with one GOAL in mind to inspire and move my readers. I have been driven by some amazing people, amazing literature and art, and free thinkers.

I’ve spent my whole life never really fitting in, but I have found complete solitude in passion, think outside the box thinkers, and people who push for greatness despite huge stepping stones. I myself am very much like this and it’s hard to find a fine line to feel somewhat normal in this society.

So there you have it..

Now whoever is reading this you know a little more about me and what zappy is up to!! I begin to think if I blogged more often my blogs would be more consistent and have a better flow. But again I guess I’m just me,.. Live for the moment and tonight was the night!! I blogged away making as much since as I could..

Stay Tune world
Hugs Zappy Springs!
