Brainstorming

I love brainstorming ideas for the Sanctuary. There's always so many amazing and adventurous ideas. Some ideas have been done before. Some work, some don't. I'm always game to try anything. I have a long list of ideas I'd love to try but we are too small right now to tackle them. Even though we've been around for along time (ok, maybe not incorporated for long but we've been providing sanctuary to horses for years), we are still very, very, very small.


I would love to grow and be much bigger but reality is, we have to continue to stay small. With juggling three kids, a paying job, and taking care of the horses, there's very little time to fundraiser and get our name out there, let along search for grants and ask for donations.


So I'm going to ask for a favor. I need your help. I need your ideas. Maybe some of my ideas are too grandiose and we'll never get to do them. But maybe you have an idea that's never been done before. Maybe you have a never-been-done, thinking outside the box kind of idea and I'd LOVE to hear it. We might not be able to do it right away, but maybe we can.


The biggest thing is to get our name out there. The catch, we have to say no because there's only so much space and only so much money to care for our seniors. We have to be picky on who we take in and that's so heartbreaking for me. I hate to say no. But if we have some amazing fundraisers that can be annual events, I'd LOVE to tackle them. I'm a worker bee at heart so I'm good at plugging along, getting stuff done. I'm not good at promoting and asking.


So if you are good at marketing, good at asking, good at being an extrovert (can you tell I'm a painfully shy introvert), then we need you. Even if you ARE an introvert, we NEED you too! I need all the help I can get.


Send me your ideas, send me your thoughts. Lets join forces and see what we can do for the horses!


I want to be prepared for winter. I want to make sure that if there is an emergency case this fall or winter, we can open our doors to these deserving seniors. Or even this spring (which seems to be the case more in the past few years), that after a long hard winter, we'd love to open our doors to a senior who deserves to relax and not have to worry about their needs any longer.


So lets start doing some brainstorming. Send me your ideas, your thoughts, your suggestions. No idea is too big or too small (ok some might be out of our line of budget but we can still aspire to it in the future!) Too bashful to comment on our blog? No worries. Email is at borderlandshorsesanctuary@yahoo.com. Right now, I'm the only one that reads the emails in this account so your ideas are safe with me (until we move forward with it and I'll need your help!)


Even if you aren't local to the Sanctuary, even if you are half way around the world, send me your ideas! Maybe something that works in your area has never been done in this area and we can be the first to try it! I love brainstorming. Lets get some ideas flowing.
