Help me welcome six Courage Buddies into the world 😊

The new hand-crafted Courage Buddies were made in the aws Studios Annex by the "Friends of phearnik! Crafters."

Each plush was made with the same pattern and fabrics but the Crafters swear each plush has their own personality!

They could use names. We hope you'll help 😊

Fear feels big.

Phoebe used to be afraid of going in the water until she took her Courage Buddy to the beach.

Sometimes courage needs something small to take with you anywhere.

What is the "yes" you are trying to get while collecting "no's?"

What is the "Yes" you've been looking for? I loved this article about...

"The 1000 NOs of Gabriella Carr." It reminded me of when I learned to be a...

"No" collector when looking for one of my first jobs. I love the concept that you often need to collect a lot of "NOs" before you will get to a "Yes."

Here's to collecting "NOs" to get to your "Yes"!

What is the "Yes" you're looking for?
