Time To Smile!

And So We Smile is a mantra that while simple to say carries some heavy meaning. Our experiences are what we build ourselves upon. We take these moments in time and forge them into purpose. No matter what you do, no matter what your passion is, there is a drive in us all to do what makes us smile.  You don’t have to be an artist, musician, builder, brewer, baker, or small business owner to make it obvious. If you love being a parent, accountant, dog sitter, or any of the other millions of things that light  a spark of happiness in yourself… that means something.

We want to represent those that understand a passion, a hobby, a calling is not to be taken lightly as there are those that might not ever have the chance to find this out for themselves. That said, at ASWS our is passion is creativity, we plan to contribute to organizations that strive to break down the barriers for those with mental and physical restrictions. By supporting initiatives that allow others the ability to partake in activities we take for granted we can all share in the smiles generated.

What does And So We Smile mean?

And So We Smile was a saying born from the days of my youth. Originally, it was a mnemonic so I could remember some values I held (to the right). These are broad and can mean different things to different people, but I always felt it kept me grounded. Today, the meaning still has its place in my life. That said, without even knowing the origins I believe its pretty clear the positive message it represents.
