Staying the course

What would your search history say about you?

It’s a total snoozefest. Nothing interesting or the least bit spicy.

When I started my non-profit, The Sidney Project, it started out as a small idea and I made a Facebook page for it and it did really well the first couple of years. I want to keep it going but realize I need to actually register it as a legit charity for a couple of reasons.

So every spare minute recently and especially yesterday was devoted to that. They make it very difficult. Jumping through hoop after hoop.

Right now I’m waiting on an email from a company here in Manitoba to say, yes you can use the name “The Sidney Project” as it’s not already been taken/registered by another business or organization.

Once I have the provincial parts in place, I’ll move on to the difficult CRA (Canada Revenue Agency) piece of it.

So yeah, that’s it. That’s what I’ve been up to.

My bff texted me the other day and asked for my two cents on Lindsay Clancy and I said who’s that?

My younger sister Gena (right) & I, 1998-ish I’d say

  3. love your project – i hope all the administrative stuff goes well and that you can get it all officially sorted.

    Mom is staying over for the weekend, and all I’m hearing from her iPad as she’s lounging on the couch is Lindsay Clancy-this Lindsay Clancy-that LMAOOO

  4. See, now I have to look up Lindsay Clancy. Normally such a thing wouldn’t appear in my search history. The research is skewed! lol

    1. So there’s a bit of a backstory to it, our five year old son came to us when he was in foster care and he immediately became the light of our lives and the centre of our world (he was 18 months at the time) and I wanted to do something to help out the community he came from which is a very northern/remote place here that is plagued by social problems. The Sidney Project collects brand new/brand name shoes or donations of money to buy shoes and I send them up to Shamattawa for the kids in school there.
      Facebook was my only online presence yes but since I deleted my personal account the other day, it took The Sidney Project page with it, so now I need to start a separate page solely for TSP.

    1. Well thanks but it’s not really in my budget, which is why I simply made a FB page as it’s basically free advertising 🤷🏻‍♀️

      1. No cost. I need some sites for my portfolio. Basically, I am looking to establish a small business doing this since it has been part of my field for the last 40 years. I need some sites for my portfolio, so if you want a site and I can list it in my portfolio, it is all free. Here is the site I am building https://kwholley63.github.io/oldguywebworks/

      2. I’d love that Kevin, thank you so much for reaching out! What I am doing currently is registering the name (I didn’t initially do that) and once I have that, I’ll get in touch! Thank you so much!

      3. Actually I can get started and give you something to look at. I would just need to know what you want on the site; mission statement, the story, email to send you info, how you take donations, any photos you want me to put up there. Basically you would control and own everything. I will even work on the SEO for visibility. Once you see something you can give some feedback on what you may want or like and we can start moving things along. We can start with your name and if it changes based on what you are waiting for we can modify the name. Think about what you want it to say and anything you may like out there and we can get something started.
