Continuing with the theme From My Mama’s Kitchen Recommends… where I am showcasing individuals who are doing extra ordinary things that touched the heart and moved the soul!
My guest for this week will be Deborah Weed. She is an artist and the author of “The Luckiest Penny.” It is a children’s book about having a healthy set of values that will assist them on their journey in life.
Deborah’s mission is to share how valuable “life experience is.” According to her; is it better to jump into life, even if it gets messy? Or, is it better to play it safe by waiting on the sidelines, hidden and protected by the walls of our own making, until the journey is over?
We need to start talking to our kids while they are still young, about how to make their own luck. It’s really simple: if you feel lucky, you are lucky, and especially if we think about all of the blessings that are in our lives.
The book’s genre is a fable/allegory and the illustrations are by award winning artist Ernest Socolov. An all original, musical interactive production is being created and produced for The Luckiest Penny. The show should be ready in November 2009.
Please call 347.327.9995 to join Deborah and I live on the air Tuesday 10/13/09 from 10-11 am US CDT as we discuss her life’s journey, her new book “The Luckiest Penny,” and her mission to making a positive difference in every child’s life.
