RLabs Moms Experience and Journey

By -
Today marks the day that 25 more women contributed to the RLabs Moms blog on Blogger. The Moms blog started in September 2008 when we ran the first ever Moms2.0 Cafe Session. That marked the start of this 9 year journey with more than 1600 blog posts published to date.

We started the morning of 25 March 2017 with a check-in where the Moms had to tell a story about a photo up on the screen. Each photo was of a mom in the class and they had to share what they saw when looking at the photo. The moms then continued with google apps, that they started on last week. They managed to search their addresses and also managed to find their homes on google maps.

After the break the Moms then took time to listen and watch a video of one of the facilitators: Suzanne Smith, that was aired on SABC Morning Live in 2015. In this video Suzanne shared her personal experience and journey. Watch the video below.




After listening to the video the moms, with tears in their eyes started writing their own stories on the Moms Blog. The Moms were so brave in sharing personal stories and some just wanted to encourage others to do the same.

My RLabs Mom's Journey

Hi all, I am Salma Richards,a parent with 3 adult children. I am told I am a chatterbox,empathetic and determined{just a bit slower}. My interests are reading,gardening,home crafts and the outdoors.It took an accident that happened 16 years ago to make me realize that the choices we make will determine the quality of life we will lead.It was, and is a long, hard road to get to where I am today. Imagine,having to learn to write,walk,remember,eat,cook,dress and just about everything we teach a toddler to do, well it took me 16 long,trying and very difficult years to become the person I am today! I have now realized it's my Creators mercy at giving me a real second chance at life .I now try not to offend  people and also to be more tolerant because my family and friends had the patience to guide and teach me simple things that you would take for granted.Thank you once again to RLabs facilitators and all who in the past and present taught,helped and guided me.MWAH.
