Maxine Clark is the Founder, Chairman and ‘Chief Executive Bear’ of that store all our little kids absolutely adore…..the Build-A-Bear Workshop. If you met this warm, unassuming woman, you’d never guess she was the same person behind that impressive bio.

I’m so blessed to have been a part of her session on February 11th 2010, at the Disney Social Media Mom’s Celebration.

Here are a few Maxine Clark Gems to glisten upon your learning necklace…..

  • Live in a world of possibilities
  • Do what you love and love what you do!
  • Dream big. DON’T let your dreams be restricted.
  • Everybody has their own passion.
  • Let a child inspire you.
  • Empower kids to make a difference.
  • Important!!: Imagination, Friendship, Creativity, Empowerment and Self Expression.
  • Don’t take things too seriously. Do what you love. As soon as things get too suffocating and in the way….take a break, stop doing it and then come back to it after a while. (This really hit home especially with regards to blogging)
  • Share your ideas with people you think will add value to your thoughts. Don’t be afraid to share your dreams. Remember, nobody can steal what’s in your heart
  • Whatever you do….

After Maxine Clark spoke, we were told to appreciate the beautiful Build-A-Bear table decos provided
(Our table had this cute Cinderella Build-A-Bear)

and were then asked to look under our chairs for a sticker that read ‘You’re a Winner: Social Media Mom’s Celebration’
and guess what?…….

that Cinderella Bear came home with me!
(Yes, Bunny girl was one ‘bear’y happy little Princess that day!!)
