My Children's Book "You Are Enough"
Dear friends and family, I've decided to turn my popular mindfulness poem "You Are Enough" into a children's book! (You can read the full manuscript below)
It's a poem about self acceptance and recognizing all that is great within us, a message kids really need right now. After doing a lot of research I've decided to self-publish and that's where I need your help! I'm asking for a donation from you to help me cover illustration & design, manufacturing and marketing costs. My plan is to have "You Are Enough" ready for sale within 3 to 6 months from now (depending on finances), with a hard inventory of about 200 books and the remainder to be available online via Amazon and other retailers. From the marketing angle I am planning on using online, print and word-of-mouth resources to raise awareness. Wth my connection to the mindfulness community around the world, I'm positive this will be a successful book that will bring happiness to many and will reinforce the fact that each of us has exactly what we need within us to be happy. You are enough!

There's something
I want to tell you
I say these words with love
that thing I want to tell you
is that
you are enough
I think that you are precious
and made of awesome stuff
for all the things
you're made of
I know
you are enough
did you know
you are made from stars
And earth
and fire
wind and dust,
oceans and things
soft and rough
because of this
you are enough
sometimes life won't go your way
sometimes things get tough
Bad days they will come and go
but you
you are enough.
You are enough
to change the world
and make your dreams come true
Anything is possible
That's because you
Are you
Of all the things to know and learn there's one that is a must
To love yourself for who you are
Because
You are enough.
