Okay, word association test – keep on swimming.
Every parent will quickly answer DORI!
Dori is the forgetful but permanently optimistic fish in the movie Finding Nemo. Here are the lines from the movie:
Dory: Hey there, Mr. Grumpy Gills. When life gets you down do you wanna know what you’ve gotta do?
Marlin: No I don’t wanna know.
Dory: [singing] Just keep swimming. Just keep swimming. Just keep swimming, swimming, swimming. What do we do? We swim, swim.
When we face difficult times it is sometimes hard to be optimistic like Dori. Sometimes we need a reminder.
In 2004 Ashley Brear was facing difficult times as she was being treated for Hodgkins lymphoma. Despite all that she was going through this incredibly brave young woman created the Keep On Swimming Foundation to help others in their battle with cancer.
To help continue Ashley’s work raising money to help those with cancer I have created the Keep On Swimming ring. The proceeds of each ring go directly to the foundation. Each ring is custom made to order.
For all of the details on the ring and how to order click HERE.
Many of us face challenges, health or otherwise, and the motto “keep on swimming” is there to remind us to keep strong in the face of the things that life can throw at us. You can buy this ring to remind yourself to be strong while also giving hope and support to others who are fighting cancer. Everyone wins!
So, when life gets you down do you wanna know what you’ve gotta do?
