It doesn’t take much to be happy - you just have to know what it is that you want.

Torey Lee Brooks

Don’t get the impression I’m a good nordic skier, I’m just good at long, arduous stubbornness!

I’m really inspired by that whole concept of bringing people together… I’m really fed by relationships and connecting people, and I don’t think I’m going to tire of always creating new ways to do that. The practice of sauna-ing and meeting new people in that context can help a lot of people.

If activity is part of your life pre-pregnancy, I think that it’s such a gift to stay active during pregnancy and beyond.

There’s no reason why we couldn’t do it here…. it’s just, no one had.

A Flying Flock

I do it because I have four granddaughters, and I want them to know you can do anything.

Emily Mackeown, Maine GearShare

Managing gear, if that’s not what you’re designed to do, just sucks!

Anne Parmenter, Coach, Climbing Guide and Everest Mountaineer

Saying ‘yes’ to things that I know are going to make me really uncomfortable… I think it keeps you ticking.

Meg Pierce, Inclusive Ski Touring

I really enjoy starting something when you’re kind of at the sucking stage, but you can see yourself progressing very quickly…. I’m very addicted to that sharp part of the learning curve.

We’ll carry extra water, we’ll carry snacks, so you don’t need to. It’s really a no-brainer, and that’s what people need, because they’re so busy in their lives. They just want to go, have fun and not have to think about it.

Kristina Cannon, Main Street Skowhegan

You have to create communities for your people that live there, first. It’s not just about tourism for us. It can’t be. It has to be about building a better community.

I think that I have a very specific client, and that client is somebody who doesn’t care about napkin colors, for example. They basically just care about the moments that are happening, and not making their wedding feel like a television production.
