You know, how sometimes, you fall in love with an idea and you end up forcing it to be what you think it should be?
My old Cyberian Outpost friend Andrew and I thought it would be a good idea to start an online business selling pet supplies. I got my artist friend Micha Archer to design a logo. I nicknamed him Woof and we built a web site called Woof’s Place. Eventually we figured out it wasn’t going to work the way we wanted it to.
Somehow, not sure how it all came about but I came up with an idea I called Beminders – positive, re-inforcing reminders that start with a Be – Be Happy, Be Yourself, etc.. Micha designed another logo based on my Be Good suggestion. I found some great quotes to go with several Beminders. Micha’s original bee morphed into the Heart Bee and her “Nerd” joined in too.
Today you can see Beminders at www.beminders.org
A project that grew out of the Beminders idea is the MY COLOR THE BE COLORING BOOK.
It’s a playful learning activity parents and kids can share.
Here’s a story from the Greenfield Recorder about the Coloring Book.
