What would you do if a fairy came to your bedroom window in the middle of the night and told you that you would be receiving a box of magical shoes? Okay, you may say, “I’m an adult and I don’t believe in fairies or magic”, but jump out of your practical grownup self and try to imagine this scenario. The thing I love about books is whether I’m reading or writing them, I can stay young within the pages through my imagination. Growing older doesn’t mean growing up and the less serious you take yourself, the more you can deal with the obstacles life throws your way. Not every aspect of life is a happy day at Disneyland, but one thing I’ve learned from my own experiences is that things aren’t always as bad as they seem and perspective can make or break you in the middle of the storm. We tend to let life and all its adult problems weigh us down, but if we allow ourselves the opportunity to not always be mature – we may be able to deal with stress. I’m not a doctor, but the last article I read on stress basically said it can give you all kinds of illnesses. So take the genius advice of Einstein and Disney – grab a fanciful story that causes you to believe in magic and escape with your imagination. Since books can give us an escape from life, let’s talk about a story that is near and dear to my heart – Elle’s Magical Shoes. It turns four in July and will be getting a new cover! My newsletter recipients will get a look at the cover first. They also will be seeing the cover for the sequel, Elle’s Magical Books. Now don't you wish you were a newsletter subscriber?
