Letter to ME in Future...

Dear ME,

I'm sure you are all grown up and living the life, but do not forget the Lord your God in all that you do, who has blessed you with all that you have.

I couldn't sleep last night, I kept tossing about the bed, dreaming of what my fruit hub business will turn out to be like, my products (looking all colourful) and their various packaging concepts, my clients (included Aliko Dangote, note to self, need to check for malaria, this one that I'm imagining Dangote as my client, but nothing is impossible)... It was like God speaking to me about something big, it looked so unreal but I know with God, all things are possible, so I'm expectant.

This business was borne out of different things ranging from boredom, need to get out of my financial situation, low activity at work, but top of the list was the fact that people in general especially children needed to eat healthier (mine included).

It all started one day after purchasing a pack of baby cereal in a box for what seemed to me like an absurd price (considering the fact that my 5-month old son who was a grubido would finish that pack in 3days), out of vexation I went fruit and vegetable shopping and went online (thank God for youtube) to get lessons on how to make pureed baby food. I started making homemade baby purees and having fun packaging it. It became a past time hobby.

Below are Pictures of pureed peas, carrots and ripe plantain. My son Jayden absolutely loves it.

Everytime I made something nice and posted it on my display profile I'll get everyone on my BBM asking what that was and this sparked a lot of attention, so I decided it might be a good business idea while my husband's friend also thought it would sell and gave some more ideas.

I started taking classes on nutrition for kids, and decided to also take some business and marketing strategy classes while at it.

Guess what, I was not the first person to come up with such ideas, so that even gave me more ideas on what would work and how to go about it (thank God for the internet).

So future ME, just in case you forget in the future how it all began, this is it.

All the best ME. Love you to the moon and back.

xoxo
