(A note from Craig)
I received a note from Team Kids CEO, Julie Hudash, that brought such joy to me that I had to share. A week ago I had presented Julie with a small gift in celebration of our new collaboration that we are undertaking with the Chuck Jones Center for Creativity and Team Kids.
Her note is listed here:

Craig,
It's been a few very busy weeks, with back to back programs, and most of my
time invested in what I love most, working with kids.
about 6:30AM and still kinda dark. I sat at my desk feeling overwhelmed
and decided to tackle a few of the less time consuming things on my list
first… to build momentum, you know…
that my usual optimistic, can-do attitude, was somehow still asleep in my
bed.
myself, I smiled and actually laughed to myself. I thought, hey my staff isn't
here yet, but here I am with Bugs Bunny… and he's working TOO!
sense of relief and this message "do the work, but
remember not to take this too seriously…"
suddenly I realized that all tasks on my list aren't things unrelated to the
"fun part of my job", I realized that this is just part of the
gig to help reach more
kids.
thanks Craig for adding exponential inspiration and joy to my
work!
not to take anything TOO seriously…
me…
++++++++
I so enjoyed reading this and Julie's thought about not taking it too seriously amazed me and I sent her back Chuck's quote:
“The rules are simple. Take your work, but never
yourself, seriously. Pour in the love and whatever skill you have, and it will
come out.”~Chuck Jones
Julie replied with:
What an incredible gift, which I wholeheartedly and passionately
accept!
I am confident that this message came to me loud and clear. this morning…
because I so desperately needed it 😉
+++++
I hope Bugs Bunny and Chuck's other characters can continue to bring joy and inspiration to each and every person who hears their wonderful messages to smile and laugh every day!
Craig
