Author/Illustrator/Wife/Mom/Self-Publisher

Married almost 35 yrs and mom of 2 beautiful women, I returned to school in 2019 following a 30+ yr career in management. During a class in Wellness, my focus of research was childhood anxiety, because one of my daughters battled it since a young child. The data was heartbreaking and drove me to find a way to support kids in the home, as I knew schools were trying from their perspective. While taking a walk on a beach in ME, my friend (a teacher) and I were both stressed with the return to school in the great unknown, and my new knowledge. So realign we both needed to decompress, we began to walk silently, each taking turns walking thru a simple version of meditation using the five senses. Within 10 minutes, both of us felt an emended wave of peace flow through. It was then I realized I needed to create a way to get this into the home for families. Within two weeks a rough manuscript was made. Last July my book was available in hardcover and now I’m speaking with parents in small groups regarding implementing techniques like the 5 Senses Game into everyday family life.
