For Esmee the Mindful Mouse, today is a day for discovery and growth in many ways.  As Esmee explores her beautiful home in the Redwood Forest, she discovers that her excitement and curious ways sometimes result in friends feeling angry.

But when Kathryn the Caterpillar magically appears, Esmee is reminded how truly special she is. She learns that others’ feelings about her actions that day are very different from their feelings about her. And they are quickly forgotten. What is remembered is the fact that she is a truly amazing mouse!

Esmee is grateful for the guidance of her guardian angel, Kathryn the Caterpillar. She gains awareness about how to manage her own feelings of sadness and understands that she is loved no matter what she does. Esmee’s day in the Redwood Forest is truly a magical day of emotional resilience and confidence building.

Break Down to Wake Up: Journey Beyond the Now is a gathering of 16 authors from around the globe, sharing personal journeys of the depths of personal pain, addiction, loneliness, loss, and confusion.

Through mazes of uncertainty, dark clouds, and dishonoring themselves, remaining in a variety of different relationships: romantic, work, parenting, siblings, friendships, faith; combined with the co-dependency of addictions, narcissism, shadow selves and self loathing due to body image, these global leaders spanning five continents have come together to touch, move and inspire others so they too can transform their lives from the depths of depression to abundance and joy.

By choosing to pour love into themselves, into others, choosing to receive, and be still, they let go of the self limitations so many around the world today hang onto.  So if you are staying in situations which no longer serve me, if you want to break free from the negative cycles holding you back, and wish to learn from experts in their fields who have been there and done it, then look no further!  We got what we choose to tolerate and now it is time to CHOOSE A BETTER YOU MOVING FORWARD.
