As the owner of a healing practice, I have had the pleasure of working with thousands of people worldwide. Teresa's commitment to her personal and spiritual transformation is palpable and genuine. Working with her was like watching a lotus flower blossoming into a higher form. I respect Teresa and her vision to make genuine and positive contributions to the world. She has a clear vision, and her creativity allows her to co-manifest new opportunities and open new doors. She is a force of nature, believes in herself, and is driven by the compassionate power of her heart. She inspires everyone with whom she comes in contact and helps others believe in their dreams and passion. We are lucky to have Teresa as a light worker in action!

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.

A delightful fusion of deep academics, experiential diversity, and boundless imagination, Teresa is the personification of the Nine Dot Puzzle Challenge. (Look it up ~ it’s fun!) When I wanted to expand my children’s clothing line some years ago, Teresa did not think small! She took samples to Los Angeles, retro-fitted a piece for herself to wear, and introduced my line to many stores. Then she thought, “I have connections in China!” And proceeded to acquaint me with folks who were involved with an American goods exchange program that was just getting off the ground. Unexpected opportunities arise when you trust the energy and enthusiasm of Teresa Lawrence. Magic happens when you dare to think outside the box. Results occur when you work together with an individual who does not let up until all the t’s are crossed and all of the dots are united.

Teresa’s experience as a Cuban refugee has taught her resilience and allows her to approach others with compassion and optimism. Her experience as a lawyer has positioned her to be a leader who gets things done. She has the unique ability to connect with the truth hidden in other people's hearts and works to unify and bring balance to all situations. She uplifts all of those around her.

Teresa is brilliant, creative and compassionate. Her endless imagination takes her in multiple directions all at once but she can also sit in stillness, absorbing the world around her. She believes that each of us is capable of being so much more than we believe for ourselves -- then is willing to help us find a path to our better, truer self. Teresa is absolutely fearless. 

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. -- Jill Lublin, international speaker, 4x Best Selling Author and Master Public Stategist
