Books 2 - 5 in the Series

Lumi and the Brave Little "No":

Sometimes the smallest word takes the biggest courage to say. When one of Lumi’s young friends begins saying yes to things that don’t feel right just to fit in, Lumi takes the children on a magical adventure where one brave little word may be more powerful than they ever imagined. 

Lumi and the "I Can't" Cloud:

It starts with one little “I can’t.” But before long, a gloomy cloud is following Lumi’s young friends everywhere—and growing with every doubtful thought. When their next magical adventure becomes harder with every “I can’t,” the children begin to wonder if changing their words could change what happens next.  

Lumi and the Oops I Tried to Hide:

It was only one little oops…and hiding it seemed much easier than admitting what happened. But when that little secret starts causing unexpected trouble, Lumi takes her young friends on a magical adventure where making things right might take a different kind of courage.  

Lumi and the Little Light That Wouldn't Quit:

Some lights shine brightly. Some flicker when things get hard. But what happens to a little light that refuses to go out? In their biggest adventure with Lumi yet, two young friends face a challenge unlike any before—and finding their way may take everything they’ve discovered along the way.

When "Boss Mode" turns off, the switch flips to casual, laid-back mom mode. A beautiful, blended real-life Brady Bunch fills the home—three kids from one side, three from the other, and a gorgeous German Shepherd. Yes, that makes seven children total. It is a loud, loving household run by foodies who love to cook and experiment with new cuisines.

Between traveling and making family memories, letting the ultra-goofy side out is a daily requirement. The motto is simple: You can't be cool all the time; you have to let your silly out to play.

And because life isn't busy enough, look out for the Next Runway Star competition! After clinching 1st place in the quarterfinals, there are just two rounds left to bring home the crown. I am absolutely thrilled to be part of this journey, as it supports an amazing cause and aligns perfectly with my mission to empower others to stand tall and thrive, not just survive. 

Whether you are here to rebuild your confidence, find a gripping mystery for your nightstand, grab a children's book for your kids, or just figure out how to survive cooking dinner for nine people, it is an honor to connect with you. Let's step into your light together!
