Welcome to Maia and Isaac's Inspirational Positive Psychology Stories for Kids!

This year (starting Thanksgiving 2013 - that's tomorrow), I will be taking a "year of inspiration" (something like a vacation, but I still go to work).  I want to take my grandkids, Maia and Isaac with me on some of my more inspirational journeys - but many miles lie between us.  So, the next best thing - or maybe even the very best thing - is to take them with me through short stories.

I want to add a twist to the themes - that is positive psychology, resilience, happiness - whatever one chooses to call it.  I'm working on characters now and want to post them for you.  I will be adding more - and I will be posting each story here (and to Youtube in video format), as well.  The reason is that, well, maybe my words can be inspirational to more than just Maia and Isaac.

I live in Southwestern Colorado - so my adventures will include road trips, plane trips - and just everyday life lessons.  I have 5 cats - and Maia loves my cat stories - so each of them will portray themselves.  I will be fostering a dog - who will portray (to some extent) my grandkids - who will be my companion on the road trips/life journeys.  My car (Mini Pearl - the Fit) represents my mom's family (specifically my maternal grandma, Minnie Pearl) and the resilience they taught me growing-up.  My first story will feature an Native American Princess - a powwow dancer - and I am looking for her name.

I will post these stories to my coaching facebook page - if you want to follow from there.  It's called Midwife of Changes/Stuff of Life and here is the link - https://www.facebook.com/TheVeryStuffofLife

OK - so let's hear a drum roll for our characters!  That is all until have more characters.  I will post the first story around Christmas - since I don't want to ruin the surprise for my precious little ones!



(I will have to come back and add the cats and princess, as blogger is acting strangely at the moment.  You can see them at our Facebook page as linked above, however.  Come "like" us!
