I LOVE this quote by Tony Robbins: "Resourcefulness is the ultimate
Resource."
This helps me to understand that with our small businesses, if we think we lack resources, that outlook can shift if we learn to cultivate Resourcefulness! Think about how kids create whole worlds from very little resources (like this sweet fairy house our littlest daughter Gwen built). Let's become inspired with how creative we can be and reinvent & invigorate our business model. There are many studies of entrepreneurs who have changed their lives in this way in Chris Guillebeau's books: The Happiness of Pursuit & The $100 Startup. Filled with inspiring stories of people who have changed their lives by following personal quests and turning their "resourcefulness" into business "resources." Check em out!
And to finish this post, here's Tony Robbin's Three "S's" for business:
1: Create a "Strategy"
2: Cultivate the right "Story" (Divorce the stories of the past that
are limiting our growth and marry an Empowering Story that empowers us
to Act. The glue that holds our businesses together is our Story.)
3: Be mindful of our "State": with personal and spiritual awareness, self care,
relationships, inspiration, motivation, and the ability to manage a mindset
that allows us to find an empowering meaning to whatever life gives us.
- Thank you as always - Anthony Robbins!

ALL ABOUT PLAYING - Interview by PinkNouNou
My family has recently been featured on a blog called "All About Playing" by the lovely & talented Portuguese textiles designer &
soft toy maker Ana of PinkNounou.
We had a ton of fun with this interview about how parents interact and play with their children from different locations across the globe. It was sweet to have shared about our daughters & our love of Midcoast Maine.
Thank you dear Ana for this interview opportunity to share a little bit about our lives as a family that loves to play together! I look forward to reading more interviews with other fun families in future posts!
I wanted share some of Ana's adorable PinkNounou soft toys that are my personal favorites from Fairy Tales:
Snow White & the Seven Dwarves softies
Little Red Riding Hood
Three Little Pigs
