SOulfully You

“SOulfully You” is about creating a safe and comforting space within any environment you or your child may find yourselves in. The meditative practices presented in this book encourage adults to tap into their own “inner child” and participate in the process especially during those challenging times when the child may be experiencing mental, emotional, or physical distress and need to feel a sense of safety and re-grounding. Listeners are taken through a series of practices and directed to tap into their senses and identify various sounds, objects, and smells. Through these activities participants are able to explore their imagination, go to places of familiarity, safely push their comfort zones, and arrive at a renewed place of clarity and peace as a team - deepening their bond. “SOulfully You” wants all readers to feel seen, felt, heard, understood, and loved no matter their background and feel free to show up authentically as themselves in every way- flowing through a variety of affirmations to round out the mindfulness exercises and bring the readers to a greater place of feeling more like their wonderful selves again. Note from the Author: I encourage you to be as patient with yourself and others as you can moving through the exercises, seek to understand, and step outside your comfort zone to connect with all that makes you “SOulfully You”!

One afternoon, Gordy receives a mysterious package containing an extremely rare potion known as "The Eternity Elixir." In the right hands, the Elixir continues to protect society. But in the wrong hands, it could destroy the world as we know it. Now, sinister potion masters are on the hunt to steal the Eternity Elixir.

The Transparency Tonic

It has been nine months since Gordy and his friends, Max and Adilene, stopped Esmeralda from destroying B.R.E.W. and the Vessel. Gordy is starting the eighth grade, where he meets another Dram, Sasha Brexil, whose mother is the new President of B.R.E.W. Gordy has also been practicing new brewing techniques, and has even taken some of his potions to school-something expressly forbidden-but when he starts zoning out during practice, he knows something is wrong. Strange things are also happening at B.R.E.W., because after Wanda confronts the dark Elixirists, she is unexpectedly fired by Mrs. Brexil. And in Greenland, Mezzarix is offered a chance to escape by an old friend, who is working for the mysterious Ms. Bimini. The woman reveals that she needs Mezzarix to replicate an unusual solution known as 'Silt.' Mezzarix agrees on one condition: that Ms. Bimini uses the power of Silt to destroy B.R.E.W. forever. Gordy and his friends continue to work on their potions, but when Adilene learns she will never be able to brew potions-that the only reason she had ever come close was because Gordy was Projecting his ability through her-she is crushed. Against her better judgment, she uses an invisibility potion given to her by her new friend, Cadence, to spy on Gordy. As Gordy's potion-making talents increase, so does the frequency of his blackouts, which raises a troubling question: What if Mezzarix attacks during one of Gordy's blackouts? Both B.R.E.W and the Vessel are in danger, and with the potion world in chaos, it's up to Gordy, Max, and Adeline to rally the remaining Potion Masters before it's too late.
