Do you know how amazing and inspiring it is to be reading imaginative, creative, fictional accounts of your young daughter’s life, written by her?
Lessons she’s learned and emotions she has experienced with the wisdom words you have shared woven throughout? WOW and just, WOW! xoxo
October 22 2017:
We received our first “Yes” for a blurb for the back cover! YAY!!
And ….. The editing is finished!!

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**
October 15 2015:
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

Just back from meeting with Laureen Jordan to get keys and tour this wonderful oasis she has created. This is the other space I’ll have available for Reiki sessions.
Everything is brand new. It’s such an amazing space! Also perfect for the mindfulness workshops I’ve created.
Plus!! Another technique I’m currently learning. Announcement soon regarding that. Such a blessing Laureen!!
