Phoebe Sees the Light

Phoebe seems like the kind of person that would love going to parties. She has a lot of friends and she likes spending time around them. But when she arrives at the party, she isn't sure where she fits in. She decides to take a walk and spend a little time alone. Her experience that night deepens the way she thinks about herself, her relationship to others, and her place in the world.

This is a story about learning how to be still and go deep inside yourself to find peace, to feel connected to the world, and to experience universal love.

About the Author
Maurer, Eileen Reno: - Eileen enjoys writing stories that use simple metaphors to help children, teens, and adults think about being human and learning to cope with adversity, change, and our emotions. For over 20 years, Eileen has been exploring and writing about the intersection of ethics, culture, religion, spiritual practice, nature, mathematics and science. She has shared her thoughts on these ideas in Unitarian Universalist congregations by creating and presenting over 50 Sunday services which incorporate her sermons and children's stories. She writes a story for the children's time in her services to distill the essence of the 20-minute sermon into a 5-minute story that is meaningful for both the children and the adults in the audience. You can read some of her work at School of Thought on WordPress (school-of-thought.org). She is also a yoga teacher and she uses short stories to deepen the lessons her students carry with them off their yoga mats. Stay tuned for more books to come! Eileen is in the process of collaborating with artists to illustrate and publish all of these stories.Clancy, Catherine: - Growing up, Catherine Clancy never believed she could draw. It wasn't until she was an adult that she discovered she could draw after doing all of the exercises in the book Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain by Betty Edwards. After that, she began taking classes at the Art Student's League in Denver. After hitting a plateau, she quit art altogether, and it wasn't until she saw her daughter's whimsical drawings that she became reignited to pursue art again. Catherine began painting in oils and hasn't looked back since. She enjoys painting people, animals, and still lifes. She considers herself an impressionistic realism painter. She credits her growth as an artist to Mitch Caster and the teachers at Watts Atelier. To see her work, go to: http: //catherinesmindfulcreations.com.
