Living and Succeeding with Dyslexia is the first of a series of books about life challenges that many of you experience. My life challenges, at least the major ones, are that I am Dyslexic, I was overweight and bullied at school and then I finally got pregnant and within two months miscarried our only child. This book is the story of how I have overcome these major life events and have become a successful artist, author, entrepreneur, educator and philanthropis. As a dyslexic child and teenager in the 1960‘s I didn’t have much help, in fact Dyslexia wasn’t even talked about when I was at school. The biggest impact on me during this period was the fact that teachers actually told me that I wouldn’t amount to anything because I couldn’t read or write English! Those type of comments stay with a person and form their belief system. Even now educational systems do not take into account the special needs of dyslexic children and parents are not given the knowledge or tools to help. This book’s main goal is to give hope to parents of dyslexic children; they can succeed with the right mentors. I am living proof and I am not finished yet. As a young teenager at middle school I was severely bullied. Bullied to the extent that I cried and hid in the gymnasium instead of going to class. The situation was finally reported to my parents and the school did their best to resolve the issue and live went on. But the same thing happens with bullying...your brain is told one thing for so long that you start to have a new set of beliefs. So now I was not going to amount to anything and I was ugly and fat! The loss of my child was the third major live event that truly devastated me. at the age of 33 I wasn’t sure whether I would fulfill the wish to be a parent and then I became pregnant. Because of my age I wasn’t going to tell everyone until the first trimester had past. That never happened and I lost the baby! Instead of grieving openly, I hid it deep down. It wasn’t until much later that I released the grief and sadness that had been stored up for nearly 20 years. I held these events and issues deep in my tissues. Once I let events of the past go and, forgave others and believed in myself, I started to be the exceptional human being I have always been. I am confident, I am successful, and I am beautiful. It is my desire to help change the world so it will be a better place for you and and future generations.. My goals are lofty; and previously would not have ever been contemplated. There is a successful person lurking in your body; you just have not discovered the courage or the knowledge to summon that person. The possibilities are endless if you open up to them. This is an abbreviated book, I am currently working on an expanded version of this book.

The Wizard saves Christmas is part of a collection of short stories titled: The Adventures of the Wizard and his Friends. This story talks about how the Wizard saves Santa and the Magic of the Christmas Season.This collection of short stories shares a passion to help the plight of certain animals endangered by global warming and other harmful human activities. Join us and help us and the children make this planet and better place. It is our hope that these stories will help children understand how they can help save our environment and the animals that live here. Each of these magical stories features The Wizard and his friends who travel to many places in the world with the wave of a magic wand. This collection of stories (children’s ebooks) about the Wizard and his friends was born out of an experience at the Wizard Training Camp (a Peak Potentials program). That initial experience is told in “The Wizard and the Leaf Hopper”. Since that time I have written several stories about the Wizard and his Friends and how they tell the story of their environment and what needs to be done to save that environment. A portion of allprofits from these children’s books are donated to Magical Earth Retreats. Magical Earth Retreats believes that there is severe nature deficit disorder in the world today and it is their goal to eliminate this one child or adult at a time. With Magical Earth Retreats, Don and Jane May Jones are filling a need, especially for school children to connect with nature and art at the same time. Art programs have been drastically cut from our school system and field trips into nature are virtually non-existent. Children in the inner city have little or no contact with nature. As such they are unable to understand the importance of saving the planet, nor do they understand how we are all connected. Earth Angels of Vermont, Inc., dba Magical Earth Retreats is a 501c3 public charity with its headquarters in Readsboro, Vermont. Our mission is to provide the space, place and opportunity for children and adults alike to reconnect with mother nature with the goal of changing the destructive route of the human race one child/person at a time with love, light, peace and creativity.
