Every year approximately 600 Children leave thier foster care homes all because the governement stops paying the foster care family money and the foster family can not afford to keep the child living with them.

This results in 71% homelessness in foster care children alone.

I am building  "A Place to Call Home"  for all children aged 18+ who have left foster care and need a roof over thier head and good food to eat.  Every child will be given the opportunity to gain essential life skills, study what they are passionate about and earn an income.

You can help me do this by recording your very own message.

Every message recorded helps to reduce homelessness in foster care kids!

Stacey Huish for the last 2 years embarked on a journey to collect 1000 stories for a book project for children. The book was entitled: 1000 Ripple Effects.
All 1000 stories in the book were written to help answer life's unanswered questions for those kids out there who had no one.
Stacey mentioned this project was not just for the children. This project was about creating 1000 Ripple Effects to create sustainable generational change for children.


We are naturally very curious and wanted to find out more. We asked Stacey, What is a ripple effect?
A Ripple Effect is an action that continues for a long time, is passed along to everyone it comes in contact with. Just like knowledge being passed down from father to son, or mother to daughter. This continues for generations and generations.
My whole life, I have started movements.
Back in my first year of TAFE, I took the bus and noticed that no one said Thank you to the bus drivers. This upset me quite a lot. I did something about it. I spent 12 months getting on and off every bus in Brisbane. As I exited the bus, I would say loudly “Thank you, have a great day!”
The passengers, started following my lead, and soon the Ripple Effect of Thank You spread to Sydney, and New Zealand. Passengers everywhere were acknowledging the bus drivers.

Why are you creating 1000 Ripple Effects?
To create sustainable generational change for children. To do this, we need to break old patterns that have not been working. With the right education, knowledge and skills, we can change a whole generation and have it last for many generations to come. We can excite the hearts of young people to live empowered conscious lives of passion. Making positive and life-lasting change through creating a sense of significance and belonging in everyone a Ripple Effect touches.

In the future, I will be giving every child the opportunity to learn effective communication skills, parenting skills, and other life skills that will help them move into adulthood.  These are some of the Ripple Effects that will be implemented over time.

Tell us more about this very first Ripple Effect?
The Ripple Effect I am creating right now is the Very First Ripple Effect of 1000 Ripple Effects in total. This one is to strengthen the financial position of the community. A strong financial position allows families to live freely, take care of their health, and have fun in life. With money, they can change their entire lives.

“Money is the foundation for everything we want to do in life. Money is the starting point.” ~ Stacey Huish

I ran parenting skills training for 20+ years on a donation basis. Everybody paid whatever they could afford.   My heart has always been in making sure families had the skills and knowledge necessary to succeed.  During those teaching years, it was made clear. There was one thing that truly made the difference to every family.  Every family I taught had it.  Some families had more and some families had less.  But it was the the deciding factor for everything they wanted to do and how they did it.   This one thing made every family decision easy and hard.” 
​
Now they had the tools to succeed as a family, they needed the money.  
The path to money is an individual journey.  During my teaching years,  I watched many families constantly struggle on a daily basis to make ends meet.  Parenting skills was not the only thing families needed. To help them strengthen their financial position, I draw upon my business knowledge.  Having successfully grown 6 start up businesses, showing others how to Make Money has been a major part of my success.  I am passing down my knowledge to them. Giving them the skills needed to strengthen their financial position.
Just like the Thank You Ripple Effect with bus drivers, I am hoping that strengthening the financial position of the community will also continue to make a difference for years to come. A Ripple Effect that leaves a lasting legacy in the hearts of many.


Why are you focusing on the stay at home mums?
Why?
Because  mums deserve to  be supported

Why?
Because  mums are doing the most important work.

Mums are there 24/7 looking after the children. Mums are everything for their kids. Mums spend all their time teaching, leading, guiding them, caring for them, comforting them and most importantly loving them.

I have a real soft spot for mums. Having been a mum to over 30 kids myself... My heart always goes out the mums.... some days they do it tougher than other days....
I do have to say this....

To all the mums out there.... thank you for wanting to be a mum.  Thank you for not giving up on your children from the get-go.  For being there from the initial cry, to the cry over a scraped knee, from the first word to the first day of the school, and from the first time you held your child to now, as you swear to never let them go.  You are a true inspiration, and your light shines through your children.  You deserve a thank you every day, for you chose to never give up, you chose to love.

Inspirational Mentor
Written By:  Robyn Mills
What I want to talk to you about in today’s blog, is the power of having a special person in your life who believes in you and your work, your ideas and your possibilities.  Who tells you the truth when you are drifting off track. Who allows you to make mistakes but also asks you to see them for what they are and change them into a learning experience and a positive in life. 


A true mentor holds your vision for you, long before you can even see it yourself. I have been lucky enough to have several mentors in recent years.  Right now my forever BFF is Rosina.  A wise woman with insights into me that I can’t see myself.  She is not afraid to tell me the truth or to hear the truth.  This is an important trait that not everyone is capable of. It is imperative that I explain to you the distinction between an amazing mentor and a person who tells you what you want to hear. For example, if you make a mistake a friend might say to you “that’s not your fault…the other person should have known better”.  That might make you feel better about yourself for a short while, but the lesson that comes from the mistake gets lost in translation and the whole things becomes clouded.  A trusted mentor on the other hand might ask you to reflect from the beginning and see when the trouble began.  


Let me give you an example: I was having fun with a creative task with my grandchildren and had to leave the room to grab a sharper pair of scissors.  We were making rainbow pom poms.  I walked back into the room to a 6 year old (Scott) protesting that his brother had slapped him across the face. My first instinct was to take the craft away and get angry at Harry, the second grandchild.  Luckily I have worked with Rosina (WinWin Parenting) long enough that she was whispering in my ear (metaphorically) and after a breath, I gently asked them to sit up at the kitchen bench and to take me back to the beginning of what happened between them. 


Let me paint the scene for you. Previously, Scott had asked me to teach him how to make pom poms and I had purchased wool and a plastic pom pom maker, that I hadn’t used before.  Much further advanced than the cardboard ones we used to make.  Still I made a mistake and the pom pom fell apart, leaving me to yet again, read the instructions and change to a stronger wool. 


While I was out of the room, Harry reminded Scott that he was having a turn next.  Scott apparently said “No your not, I’m make lots” and against Harry’s protests got angrier and called him names. Harry reacted with his hands, slapping Scott across the face.  They both agreed that this is exactly the way it had played out.  


I asked them to see where the first mistake happened.  Yep…Scott not wanting to share the pom pom maker.  Great moment! I got to ask them how could that have been different.  Oh so many ways! I didn’t give them the answers, they worked it out for themselves. Firstly, trying to hold onto something that was a shared experience to prevent your brother having a turn. Secondly, saying things that are not nice to your brother.  At the end of this part we got to talk about sharing and family and the joy of watching someone else achieve their goal of making a pom pom.  Now to Harry…what could you have done differently?  Well, not use my hands in anger to get what I want!  Brilliant. Could you please look at each other now and apologise from your heart?  Yes!  


Did I put the pom pom machine away?  No…I apologised for my mistake in not reading the instructions properly and choosing wool that broke easily.  I role modelled that it is Ok to make mistakes and lets work on it together to see where it went wrong.  We also asked Grandpa, because he is great at reading instructions.  


I was able to mentor my grandchildren because Rosina, mentors me.  Rosina teaches parents to mentor their children and she can do this because she is an amazing parent mentor and colleague mentor.  A friend with benefits (LOL). She allows me the space to make mistakes and helps me nut them out and see if there is a better way. She holds me in high esteem as I do her and that is a powerful combination.  


Your takeaways from this blog is to see if you have a friend, mentor, teacher, inspirational leader, who helps you grow and develop and nurtures you along the way.  Who ‘gets you’, who walks your talk, who holds you to account in loving ways.  A mentor who can see where you are now and assists you to become who you are going to be. This is priceless. Find the person or persons who can be this gift for you and be willing to be vulnerable and open with them.  


The most important thing is not to be afraid of making mistakes, of telling and hearing the truth. In vulnerability comes great strength. 
Harry said to me “Your a GREAT Grammie”, I laughed and said “Let’s call me GG for short”.
