"Strength does not come from winning. Your struggles develop your strength. When you go through hardships and decide not to surrender, that is strength."
~ Arnold Schwarzenegger
Roshan Hoover and Greg Sutton celebrating the award on behalf of the TinyEYE team.
TinyEYE won an award of excellence for health innovation. Being recognized for innovation is heartening since it implies that something of value was created because of an idea, blended in with all the factors that transcend a dream.
Idea: To build software and services to reach children who are in need of speech therapy. Yes, I would “beam” to communities with all my fun therapy tools at my fingertips. Kids would learn that their listening ears and words are magical because characters on the screen would animate at their request. Parents and teachers would have support services anytime. Cars and pens would become irrelevant to reaching children and making a difference. What an idea.
On day #1 of our mission, Greg told me that if our idea were going to work, we would have to remember the rules:
RULE #1: Acknowledge that there will be highs, there will be lows
RULE #2: We must never, ever quit during a low
Believe me, there were many times when one of us had to remind the other to “check the rules and call me in the morning – it is against the rules to quit during a low”. Each time we got back up and stood on top of a “low”, we gained competence, stamina, and a step closer to excellence.
Fast forward to today – you will see a bustling team of believers who contribute to our students through the creation of leading edge software, the provision of specialized therapy services, and the cultivation of honourable business practices. We believe so strongly in our purpose that we would continue with or without recognition. However, we really value and appreciate receiving an award of excellence for something we have breathed our hearts into year after year, through the highs and over the lows. With all the strength that Greg, CEO, earned on his road to receiving an award of excellence, he was well prepared to accept the honour. The next day, he shared this with our team:
On Saturday night, at the 26th annual Saskatchewan Awards for Business Excellence – ABEX Awards, TinyEYE won the Health Innovation Award. I would like to personally thank each and every one of you for your hard work and dedication in making this happen. There are over 40,000 businesses in Saskatchewan and being a finalist for these prestigious awards is honour enough, winning one is truly amazing. We truly have a remarkable team!!!!

“Dreams are like rocket ships, they take you places you would not otherwise go.”
~Marnee
Hi Everyone,
Teaching children the art of making a dream-come-true is the secret to our world’s healing and longevity. What happens between making-up a dream and living a dream? Dream dust. Dream dust relates to all those steps that have to happen along the road to a dream-come-true. There is an art to making a dream come true. Following is an explanation of why some dreams become trapped:
Have you helped a child find a dream come true? Here are some considerations:
My parents taught me all about dream-come-trues. I watched them grow dreams from scratch my entire life. That is why I bellowed THANK YOU in the Atlantic Ocean this weekend. You see, as a girl who grew up on the prairies, I am used to seas of wheat – not oceans of water. Finding myself in the ocean was exhilarating. Long ago, I decided that one of my dreams was to kayak in the Atlantic Ocean. Then, at the local fair, I took a picture of myself in a kayak so I could envision myself achieving my dream. Next, I took kayak lessons in a pool – just in case I ever found myself in an ocean with a kayak. When my husband mentioned he had a business trip on the east coast, I gratefully arranged for grandpa and grandpa to stay with my children and I jumped on the plane. Within hours of arriving, I was kayaking on the Atlantic Ocean with my husband and three nuns. I could not imagine better company! Our youthful guide’s name was Peter. I think his full name was Peter Pan because I am sure I saw some dream dust following his wake. A girl can dream.
