• RESILIENCE •

Welcome to a new month and a new week of empowerment and growth! With this new set, we embark on our resilience journey with a simple yet powerful concept that has served your Paw and Granny throughout our lives. When we were both little kids, there was a toy we both enjoyed. Coincidentally, it was a blow-up plastic clown, similar to the pool toys you can buy but not as sturdy. It was an impressive toy because it was about the height of a six year old. It’s bowl-shaped bottom filled with sand assured it would stay upright. The game was to box with the clown, seeing how hard you could hit him to knock him to the floor. But no matter how hard you hit him, your couldn’t knock him out. He always popped right back up. For decades now, our pep talk to each other has usually referenced some reference to “be like the clown.” And that’s what we want you to learn to do as well. We love you. - Granny & Paw
