I am presently working on bringing three of my dreams into reality. They are all focused on building community, inspiring creativity and sharing the love of learning throughout the world. Browse through the website and join me in whatever way you are called to do so. Thank you!
I look forward to meeting each and every one of you! Let us create community together!
“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.
Teresa’s one of my favorite people on the planet, probably because I don’t know anybody else like her. She can laugh good naturedly about somebody’s foibles without ever suggesting she looks down on them, talk about her family with more love than exasperation, and make you wish you could forgive yourself even half as much as she does. 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.
