Last of the artwork sent to our Angel book designer. I’m not sure if I mentioned that the book will include Lillian Darnell‘s artwork.
This is also an example of art to be included in the Team TLC art exhibit at South Valleys Library in spring 2018. xoxo

Black cats cross the street
Black bats fly across the street
White ghost scare the people
Striped candy corn gets eaten
People wear famous costumes
Happy jack-o-lanterns watch as they smile.
Happy Halloween

Editing mode again and this one spoke to be shared. It’s from the “Emotions” section of the book. (Less than half the book remaining to edit!)
Apple Named Calm Sparkle
Hey, everyone! Are you wondering who is Calm Sparkle? If you answered yes, you’ve come to the right place. Read on to find out.
Once there lived a small apple whose name was Calamity. The apple didn’t know how to say Calamity but she was able to say,”Calm Sparkle.” So her name was shortened to Calm S.
True to her name, she grew to be a big calm sparkly apple. One day, she didn’t seem so calm. She explained,”I’m just anxious to see my relatives. The last time I saw them was when I was a small applet.”
So as time went on, she wasn’t calm at all. After her relatives left, she admitted she outgrown her calmness. The apple asked for help and everyone tried to help.
One spring morning, she felt unusually calm. She suddenly realized her calmness had returned. When she announced her calmness had returned, everyone clapped and cheered.
To this day forward, she can be found in everyone’s heart. She might be hiding or showing her calmness to your inner self.
(14 years old – June 2016)
We’ll have the published book by end of November at the latest! Our goal is to receive 50 pre-orders! 14 received so far! Go here if you would like to pre-order. xoxo
**THROWBACK POST**

This sweet little delicate hand. She found this leaf yesterday on our walk around the lake. She brought it all the way home, then released it in the wind. She asked me to take a picture of it. Due to sensory issues I don’t get to hold that sweet little hand in mine, don’t get to snuggle up close to her, and don’t get to smother her with kisses. I’m taking this sweet little hand in mine (in my imagination) and we are about to begin a fun adventure. She and I are going to put our imaginations and hearts together and write our first children’s book. Let’s see what we come up with. The ideas must be inside of us for a reason. Time to release them just like that beautiful leaf. xoxo
**Update** November 5 2017: Want to help? “Where Would You Fly and Other Magical Stories” is in the final stages of editing. Then our angel helper will be adding Lillian’s artwork and transforming into a book format.
It would be an incredible blessing for Team TLC to pre-sell 10-50 copies of the book. It should arrive by end of November 2017 at the latest. Plus you will receive a special gift for pre-purchasing. xoxo

Working on Lillian’s debut book, “Where Would You Fly and Other Magical Stories” ….
Thought I’d share one of the stories to be included (this one hasn’t been edited yet). It’s one of my favorites!:
The Great Universe
It all started on a warm summer night in a cozy home where a girl lay sleeping until she felt a jolt and she realized she wasn’t in her home anymore. She thought, “Why is there nothing?” and she got her answer. A echoing voice said,”You are where the universe began. It’s up to you to make the planets including Earth. Once you’ve made Earth, start creating. Have fun!”
So the girl quickly discovered she could use her mind and creativity to make everything. First she designed Earth to look sparkly, clean, and rainbow colored. Second, she made other planets look like the colors of the rainbow. She went into Earth and saw she needed to make the moon and stars. So she made the moon look and taste like cheese. She made stars look like glitter.
(Want a book? Go here! xoxoxo)
She made the sky look indigo when it was daytime. She exited Earth to put the blue colored sun near Earth. She went entered Earth again and realized she needed to plant some plants. Luckily, she had some seeds in her pocket. She planted them. She added orange water to Earth to help the plant. She also needed rain. So she made red rain by circling her hand. She made green clouds too.
She realized she was lonely so she added animals of different colors. She created yellow grass so she could rest. Soon the animals became bored with just the little girl. The animals spoke to the girl about being lonely. She said, “No problem. I can make humans but first, I need to set aside some land for roads, buildings, homes, shops, stores and more.”
As she spoke, she created all the other things humans needed. After that, she formed the first 2 people. She also casted a spell to make a child and make it grow. The humans were magenta. The animals were amazed at how quickly the humans formed and adapted.
She thought she was done but the voice spoke to her saying that she would have to use creativity, quick thinking, and more. So she tried casting a spell to make the years speed by but it didn’t go as planned.
She made a makeshift bed and tried to get into her cozy home. That didn’t work so she tried to get the the people and animals to help her. They saw a note on the palm tree. The girl was able to reach it. She realized it was a riddle. She realized all she had do was fall asleep.
Before she fell asleep, she cast one final spell and it was the days of the week, months, and years. She fell asleep after that. There was a surprising jolt and she woke up. She was happy to find herself back in her bedroom. She couldn’t help thinking was it all a dream. Just then, a friendly voice explained that it wasn’t a dream. It was morning.
She went to the kitchen to tell her parents the most amazing thing happened to her. Her parents explained to her she had a real vision. Years later, she grew up to become a beloved author. Her name was Morgana and she had been 11 when the amazing thing happened. She lived in Australia at the time. She loved the book Anne of Green Gables. She thought it described her life perfectly.
The End!
