I Will Always Be With YouAmy is a gifted harpist whose music is truly transforming. I am blessed to have her amazing gift of music as the companion to my meditations. ~Bonnie “After September 11, 2001, my heart ached for all those children who lost their parents…and for all those parents who lost their children. As a mother, that is one of my greatest fears – to think my children will be without me. As a professional harpist, I use music to express my feelings, so one October evening I was playing a new melody on the harp. Our two sons named the melody, “I Will Always Be With You” then went to bed. My heart opened and the words came. In 15 minutes the song was complete. It was so simple…yet it said everything.” Amy Camie Here are some of the lyrics to give you an idea of the message: When you’re sleeping When the wind blows When the sun comes up each morning |

Tap The Magic TreeEvery book needs you to turn the pages. But not every book needs you to tap it, shake it, jiggle it, or even blow it a kiss. Innovative and timeless, Tap the Magic Tree asks you to help one lonely tree change with the seasons. Now that’s interactive—and magical! It begins with a bare brown tree. But tap that tree, turn the page, and one bright green leaf has sprouted! Tap again—one, two, three, four—and four more leaves have grown on the next page. Pat, clap, wiggle, jiggle, and see blossoms bloom, apples grow, and the leaves swirl away with the autumn breeze. |
The 3 Book Set of the Sara Series: The Foreverness of Friends of a Feather, Solomon’s Fine Featherless Friends, and a Talking Owl Is Worth a Thousand Words (Sara Series, 1, 2, 3)“Sara wants to feel good and happy and loving, but as she looks around, she doesn’t feel much to feel that about. This all changes when she meets Solomon, a wise old owl, who shows her how to see things differently through the eyes of unconditional love. He teaches Sara how to always be in an atmosphere of pure positive energy. She sees for the first time who she really is and her unlimited potential.” This has been our family’s favorite. Children from very young to late childhood will relate to these books. |
All I See Is Part of Me“In a journey that carries the reader far beyond the printed page, a child discovers his common link with all of Life. Inspired by Sister Star, he finds the light within his heart and, as his version expands, he sees that same light in all other things.” |
What is God?What is God? by Etan Bortizer – This book could almost serve as the mission statement for this blog. Designed to answer a child asking “what is God?”, it provides both a poetic and open-ended vision, and introduces the idea of world religions by exploring the different ways each view God. It includes a page on each religion’s holy books, and even touches on the concept of religious intolerance and disagreement. If you have a very orthodox view of God, this book might not be for you, but if you consider yourself more interfaith-oriented, it is perfect. It was a bit wordy for my four-year old, but I think she will grow into it. |
The Little Soul and the SunThe Little Soul and the Sun is a simple and powerful story that brings children a very profound truth: there is not absolute good or bad–that underneath all that happens in the world, all that we call “good” and all that we call “bad,” is love. Your child will discover a God that she or he can love, because God is love, as are all the Little Souls who are a part of God. And perhaps parents, too, will rediscover who they really are. Bonnie was a guest on Coach Cafe Radio Listen in: Listen in live at this link to hear the recording of tapping into the Diamond Frequency to Change Your DNA. |
