This would not have happened without the genius of Juree, my editor at Bala Kids, who ignored my protests and insisted I was the person for this project. After a hesitant start, the content came from a wellspring that flowed from all the most transformative disciplines of my life: meditation, kyudo (the way of the bow), and years of theater training with children and adults. I’m honestly proud of it and grateful to the talented illustrator, Alexander Vidal, who captured the spirit of this card deck exquisitely. Check out reviews on Goodreads!

This book won the Khyentse Foundation Children’s Book Prize. You can read more about the prize and an interview with me about the process of working with the wonderful team at Bala Kids here.

So how do we go about bringing your creative inspirations into a form you can be proud of? Every project is different, but there are some things that can help ground your vision and start you on the path to completion, no matter what it is. You can see more about how I work with clients by checking out My Services.

Or, you can skip all that and contact me now. We’ll start with a cup of tea to see if we’re a good match. Don’t worry, we can meet via video, if that’s practical. (I’m near Boulder, Colorado.)
