#147 LaLa and Her Circle of Love: Stories of Faith and Friendship

Season #8

In this heartwarming episode, I’m excited to announce the launch of my brand new children’s book, LaLa and Her Circle of Love: Stories of Faith and Friendship! This isn’t just any children’s book—it's a collection of real-life stories inspired by the animals who have shaped my life. Each story is filled with lessons of love, resilience, and faith, all told through the eyes of LaLa and her circle of furry and feathered friends.

And there’s more! It’s not just a storybook—it’s also a coloring book! I created it this way because coloring was my way of feeling normal as a child, especially during tough times. I wanted to offer children that same space for creativity and self-expression.

In this episode, I dive into why I wrote the book, what lessons kids (and adults) can learn from it, and how animals have been my greatest teachers. Whether it’s the story of Brownie the pony, Jasmine Leo the mysterious black cat, or BuLee the brave bulldog mix, each animal brings a unique lesson about life, love, and faith.

Episode Highlights:

  • Why I wrote LaLa and Her Circle of Love and how my personal journey inspired it.
  • The incredible lessons these animals taught me about love, loyalty, and resilience.
  • Why I chose to include coloring pages, and how coloring helped me feel "normal" as a child.
  • What makes this book different from typical children’s books—it’s not just for kids, but for anyone who believes in the power of love and the beauty of every living thing.

Key Takeaways:

  • Animals can be our greatest teachers, offering unconditional love and healing when we need it most.
  • Don’t judge by appearance—love and loyalty come in all shapes and sizes, as shown by my dogs Stella and Thomas.
  • Even when love lasts a short time, it can leave a lasting impact, as seen through BuLee’s journey of healing.
  • Creativity is a powerful way for children to process emotions, and that’s why I included coloring pages in this book.
