Grace vs Shame

 

First Draft Cover Art

 

Received the first draft cover art to my next children's book, "Sometimes When I'm Jealous." 

Always so meaningful and fun to collaborate with my illustrator Kyra Teis. 

Self Care Tips for Winter Months

 

New Book Sketches

One of my favorite things when writing children's books is when my wonderful and talented illustrator, Kyra Teis, takes my notes and creates the characters and illustrations for the picture book. It's so exciting to see my ideas come to life, and to have the beginning artwork take shape. 

My next book will focus on jealousy in children in late 2024. 

Can't wait to share more.

International Survivors of Suicide Loss Day is 11/18/23

In 1999, Senator Harry Reid, a survivor of his father’s 1972 suicide, introduced a new resolution into the US Senate. With its passage, the US Congress designated the Saturday before Thanksgiving as National Survivors of Suicide Day - an awareness day that reaches out to thousands of people who have lost a loved one to suicide.

National Survivors of Suicide Day has evolved into a global awareness day called International Survivors of Suicide Loss Day thanks to the American Foundation of Suicide Prevention. 

Sometimes called "Survivor Day," this November 18th will find children and adults affected by suicide loss gathering around the world at events in their local communities to find connection, comfort, hope and understanding.

Every 40 seconds, someone dies by suicide. 

Every 41 seconds someone tries to understand that loss.
