THE BRILLIANCE OF YOUR FEELINGS: You Are The Secret

Posted on December 12, 2018 by

It is finally time for me today to toot a dear friend’s horn. I am honoured, happy, and proud to share with you the début of a book that has changed my life.

Filled with real-life examples and sprinkled with exercises, photos, and graphs, THE BRILLIANCE OF YOUR FEELINGS is based on a lifetime of investigation and research into how our emotional energy system works.

It is rooted in author Oona Soleil Fergusson‘s personal experience, studying and working with some of the most powerful ancient traditions, along with modern developments in the fields of science and psychology.

It has changed the course of hundreds of people’s lives around the world, including mine.

THE BRILLIANCE OF YOUR FEELINGS: YOU ARE THE SECRET, soon available in print, is a FREE download at the moment. Check it out: HERE

Isn’t the cover stunning?

❤ CONGRATULATIONS OONA ❤

NOW THAT HALLOWEEN HAS PASSED…

“…gather your witches, vampires and bats,
spiders, ghosties and arch-backed black cats.
Stand them together with goblins and ghouls,
then stack them up high on the backs of pack mules,
Or store them in boxes way up in your attic,”
the skeleton in my closet was downright emphatic.

NIGHTMARE ON UNTER DEN LINDEN – A Banned Books Week Tribute

Posted on September 28, 2018 by

It’s somehow fitting.

The sweeping square is shrouded in silence, but for the dime-size drops of rain slapping the neatly laid cobbled stones under my feet. The typically bustling quad is empty too, except for the line of  bicycles strung along the façade of the Alte Bibliothek (Old Library) and three tourists hunched under wide-domed umbrellas staring at the ground.

I’m watching the young men from the west side of the Berlin Opera House, waiting for them to move on so that I might have a second of solitude on my own to pay my respects to a moment in history that must never be forgotten so that it might never happen again. Continue reading →

HEY, RAPUNZEL ~ SURF’S UP!

Posted on August 29, 2018 by


The only thing missing from the stone tower resting up against a craggy cliff side along the southern California coast is a sixty-foot silken braid trailing from the top window slit to the rocky beach below.

Well, maybe the thick, lustrous plait isn’t the only thing absent from the colossal structure. A bare-chested dude decked in board shorts, cupping his hands around chapped lips, shouting, “Rapunzel, Rapunzel you smokin’ fox, let down your mane that I may climb your locks” would certainly complete the picture.  Continue reading →

THANK YOU, RICHARD PECK (April 5, 1934 – May 23, 2018)

Posted on July 23, 2018 by


We met in Miami when Destiny dropped me in the seat next to you at a Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators pre-conference dinner for volunteers and faculty.

Our paths had crossed once before, at my first SCBWI conference where you’d signed one of your fabulous books for me and kicked off the event with a spell-binding key-note beginning with how you remembered a time when blackberries were just a fruit that grew on bushes. Did you ever add apples to that speech?

Thank you, Richard Peck, for Continue reading →
