As a pharmacist, I am passionate about helping others live healthy lives and believe being healthy is not just about physical well-being. Nurturing our physical, mental, and spiritual health is vital. When we are at our best, we are then able to positively impact those around us.
You might be wondering, what does this have to do with children’s books? Although my books are geared toward children, they are based on concepts we all can benefit from.
My debut book, Bax and His Bubbles, offers a method using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help kids foster healthy thinking habits, while my newest book, When Love Flows, helps children understand the power of an encouraging word.
I hope you get a chance to check them out. Join me in empowering kids to make wise choices – in both their thoughts and words!
