MaggieMoose: Innovation Girl

Maggie's pawsability thought for the day:

"Innovation distinguishes between a leader and a follower."

Steve Jobs

  Twigs are everything for a moose, because they are the "eater of twigs"... When the twigs weren't plentiful in our yard Maggie went into innovation mode. She brought in the next best thing, a free floating root. She looked at me with that I can create my own bliss, I'm an innovator. It reminded me of our MaggieMooseTracks® books. They've become a cross-over book series for both kids & adults (yes, adults love Maggie's books too). In her book series, Maggie blazes an adventurous trail of life lessons in the most innovative way. Our books have full color illustrations throughout and they have B&W illustrations to color and pages to draw one's own creative artwork. Yes, it's encouraged to color & draw in the MaggieMooseTracks® keepsake book series. Maggie likes others to find their own bliss. After all, she's from the same area as the visionary Steve Jobs. It's only right there's a four pawed leader to create change in the literary world while doing some good for others. Twigs are great, but a creative root is good too. Who knows what leader will spring up?

All MaggieMooseTracks® books are available on Amazon.com, including our 1st book which is translated into Japanese. 

MaggieMoose: To The Crazy Ones...One Twig At A Time

Maggie's pawsability thought for the day:

"Here's to the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers, the round pegs in the square holes... the ones who see things differently -- they're not fond of rules... You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them, but the only thing you can't do is ignore them because they change things... they push the human race forward, and while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius, because the ones who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world, are the ones who do." 

Steve Jobs

  Last weekend I attended a Vision Board Play Shop. After I created my vision board for 2014 from magazine cut-outs of images and words I reflected on 2013. A year ago I was in the same vision board play shop. I had a dream to write one book based on my muse Maggie, my English Springer Spaniel dog. On the vision board my dream went. I wanted to make a difference in children's (or adults) lives through my fictional adventure story telling. I was going to do this through a chapter book format with full color illustrations for ages 6 up. Maggie and I wanted a book with more than pretty fluff. We wanted our book to have substance of 'moose size pawsabilities'. We'd spread the word through Maggie's love of twigs since she was already read worldwide on six continents on all the social media venues totaling 174 countries... 

MaggieMooseTracks® Book Series

I finished my vision board. My friend across the table handed me one more magazine cutout of a quote. She said the quote was true for me. In bold, red letters the words stood out "The ones who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world, are the ones who do." I couldn't read who the quote was from, because the font was too small. I pasted the quote on my vision board. In 2013, I wrote the 1st book: Book 1 MaggieMooseTracks® Making Friends, but I didn't stop there. I wrote two more books and then had one translated into Japanese. I continued on to create so much more, too lengthy for a short blog. It's all on our MaggieMooseTracks® website (which was also created in 2013). When I came home from the play shop Maggie ran in with a little twig hanging out of her mouth. I told Maggie '... you and I are the crazy ones and we are going to change the world, one twig at a time...' 

Before I went to write today's blog I Googled the quote my friend gave me about the ones who are crazy. The author was Steve Jobs. I should have known, an inspirational visionary from our neck of the woods. I promptly wrote his name on my pasted quote. Thank you Steve for blazing the trail for us crazy ones. One twig at a time living life with moose size pawsabilities around the world. 

MaggieMoose: Twig Enthusiasm & More

Maggie's pawsability thought for the day:

"We're just enthusiastic about what we do."

Steve Jobs

  Maggie and I are fueled by enthusiasm. A simple thing such as Maggie bringing a twig indoors sets our symbiotic creativity in motion. We like doing what we do; from writing fictional tails in her MaggieMooseTracks® book series, to photographing Maggie & Twigs for a coffee table size book or just giving out hugs & licks. We've accomplished many creative pursuits through our enthusiastic outlook in life during 2013; we wrote 3 books, had 1 book translated into Japanese, Maggie's photos were shown in an art show in New York City, our readers around the world doubled from 87 countries (2012) on 6 continents to 174 countries in 2013 and we started a line of MaggieMooseTracks® merchandise! Oh My Dog! Thank you friends & furriends around the world for all your love & support. It's amazing how many ways Maggie & I see how life is pawsable. Yes, we're enthusiastic about what we do. Our hope is that we can continue to pass the spark of enthusiasm with you, one twig at a time. Sharing the love. WOOF! WOOF! 

Living life with moose size pawsabilities around the world!
