Hello, Community! Meet AustinBorn.
It may be a gray, chilly Monday morning, but we’re all smiles.
We started at the end of 2013 with just a dream, when Phyllis dared to say it out loud: what if we started a collective, and we had our own space to host groups, and we pooled our skills in order to serve families better...
In just a few months, we have launched a website and found a physical location. We are busy now getting our physical space furnished and ready to host an open house in a few weeks, with an eye toward a grand opening at the beginning of June (yes, you're invited--details to come!).
But most of all, I'm so proud to be part of a vision to better serve families. The childbearing year is hard, and we as a society don't do such a great job of supporting new families during this gigantic transitional period in their lives. I am thrilled to be working toward a more peaceful transition to parenthood within my community. By joining forces with the other members of the AustinBorn team, we are able to offer so much more collectively than any one of us could do on our own. And it all started with a dream, a picture of what could be, spoken aloud and acted upon.
What is the dream in your heart today? What might you be able to do if you dared to speak it aloud?
