How would our world feel different if we all acknowledged the light in one another?
What if every child truly understood the unique light they bring to this world?
The Sun provides a warm and constant reminder to Bear that the Universe understands Bear’s uniqueness and light. With Squirrel as a perfect sidekick, Bear discovers how joyful life can be when we acknowledge the light within ourselves and freely spread our light to others.
Hi, I’m Laura.
I am publishing my first children’s book.
As young as elementary school, I had the desire to write children’s books. This dream has been on my heart for more than 25 years (a lot of that time, a perhaps “dormant” dream while life happened around me). Every year in school, I submitted to the “Young Authors” contest, winning often. But being a children’s book author didn’t seem realistic. I’d never known anyone personally that was a published author.
About 2 years ago, I began an inner journey of remembering who I truly wanted to be and what I desired most out of this life. Being a wife (no matter how amazing your spouse may be - and mine is freaking top tier!) and mother of five, it was incredibly easy (I’d say even instinctual) to put my childhood dreams on the back burner while life happened around me. Admittedly during the writing and publishing process, I have even caught myself feeling “selfish” for chasing after this goal, as it naturally took some time away from my family (although minimal). My nervous system was literally wired to feel guilt over doing something for me.
But we all know - you can’t pour from an empty cup.
And writing fills my cup immensely. And working to publish my first children’s book has been beyond rewarding.
So I’d like to share this journey with my village.
My first book is set to come out on Amazon in January. While it may seem odd to start promoting the book now, I feel called to share the journey of writing and publishing with my friends and family.
