I Am My Feelings

From January, 2015

& yep, right there, this quest began,
designed by a somebody on the internet and purchased by me.

From March, 2018

It’s called, ‘I Am My Feelings’
& it’s my very favorite eBook.

“I Am My Feelings’ is a compilation of children’s stories I’ve written through the years
& as the title suggests, it deals with emotions.
Six short stories, six unique characters, each explaining their special feeling.

First, there’s ‘Smile’, who is on an adventure, hoping to fill the world with big grins
& tearful ‘Teardrop’, who gently offers ways to handle this overwhelming sensation.
‘Nicey’ talks about being kind to others
& ‘shy’ lets the reader know it is ok to be quiet and unassuming.
‘Bubbles’ deals with nervous and scared
& ‘Love’ mistakenly thinks no one will notice if she runs away.

Although my book is geared towards children, adults will find the stories fun and helpful too.
It’s true, Adults.
You will.

I hope you enjoy

trouble is and truth be told, I Am My Feelings e-book was out there, but I was naive to the self promotion biz, timid to just about everything on this trek dubbed, writer.

Counting Crickets

Separately and eventually, my stories found their way to an extremely talented and ooooh, so patient, illustrator named

Toby Mikle,

and aligned with the ebb and flow of Amazon-Land, we became.
Some months =  !! SCORE !!
Some, not so much.
But the words I created are out and about and proud of my accomplishments, I am.

Along this path, friends and kind souls would exclaim, you should combine !! these stories belong together !! and I would yep, nod, agree, uh-huh, that’s a FANTASTIC idea, all the while knowing … quietly existing, but pushed aside and forgotten … my e-book hunkered.
shhhhhh.

After Toby and I finalized my 7th book, Collin and the BIG BALD TREE, we said our good luck-s, thank you-s, until we meet again, and parted ways with if you ever need anything, just let me know, for a friendship, we had developed.
One day, completely out of the blue and just because he’s so darn nice, Toby asked if I would like him to gather my stories and …

& just like that,

evolved into it’s bright and colorful, physical form.

I’ve been known to travel at a slower pace than most, with a sidetrack here, a detour there, but on this journey, my mantra has determinedly been, when the universe deems it’s time …

Hey Universe,
(&  allllll you beautiful souls who nudge and coax and encourage and never, ever stop believing)
we did it,
we’re here.
& YAY

I Am My Feelings

it’s time.
