GLORIOUSNESS
By M Teresa Lawrence
GLORIOUSNESS is the story of a young child, appropriately called Ness, searching and ultimately discovering her inner “Trueness.” Ness begins her journey into self-awareness in a state of sheer chaos or “messiness” and then slowly discovers that she totally controls and can choose who she really is and wants to share with the world each day. The use of repetition with the suffix “ness” along with imaginative illustrations created from the perspective of a child combine to make GLORIOUSNESS a wonderful beginning reader book. The book is geared for young readers ages 3-7.
A percentage of each sale will go to support THE TRUENESS PROJECT, a mission driven project designed to help immigrant and displaced children throughout the world imagine and strive to become the best versions of themselves.
THE POWER OF LEADERSHIP WITH M. TERESA LAWRENCE
By M Teresa Lawrence
A major reason why people tend to find it difficult to accomplish their goals and achieve success is a lack of openness to the endless possibilities the universe offers them. In The Power of Leadership with M. Teresa Lawrence, you will learn, through the vibrant words and stories of the author, that the recipe for success is simpler than you think.
Teresa’s inspiring stories will teach you one important lesson: Success is closer than you think — all it takes is a little bit of movement.
“Gloriousness” is the charming story of Ness, a little girl who, like all of us, found herself living inside an identity that felt constricting. Somehow, she didn’t quite fit in. She knew she was more than her unhappy, messy, and limited self, so she set out discover her true nature. Who was she? Who could she be? Using her creativity and imagination, Ness discovered her bright, happy, glorious self.
Beautifully illustrated, this delightful story touches upon the basic need all humans have to discover who they are and the journey they must take to find their trueness. M Teresa Lawrence has created the perfect opening for parents, grandparents, and anyone who loves and cares for children, to introduce the topic of identity and the search for truth.
Filled with love and inspiration, GLORIOUSNESS is a book that reminds all readers that all accomplishments begin with a thought and a firm belief that we can create anything we imagine.
It is so wonderful to find a children’s book that teaches self-awareness and the power of choice.
As Teresa notes in her book, “we are all glorious in our own way.” This book helps children and adults alike to remember.
That kindness might explain Teresa’s weird ability to make impossible things happen. She knows what she wants, asks for it, and keeps asking until she gets it, smiling the entire time. I told her I’d be happy to run the music section of CURIO, a magazine she founded in the 1990s, because I assumed it was an obligation I’d never actually have to meet. Next thing I knew she was filling me in on meetings with billionaires like Sumner Redstone and asking me what I had ready for the first issue.
