The inspiration behind buddha Belly
Moonshine... a cat, but not just any cat
A rescue with a big heart and a larger-than-life presence, Moonshine embodies love and warmth. Despite his bold "cattitude," he found his forever home with us—a place where his spirit could thrive. Moonshine came to us after the loss of our beloved Lily, a cat who entered our lives after a dear friend passed away. While no one cat can replace another, Moonshine carries his own unique energy that radiates love and comfort. Buddha Belly is not just a character but a spirit of kindness, connection, and wisdom that I hope will inspire every reader to discover the joy and power within themselves.
The concept of Buddha Belly
The concept was born out of a desire to share meaningful life lessons with my grandchildren, Madison, Logan, and Layla—remarkable souls on their own journeys.
The vision
To inspire both children and adults. The books aim to illuminate the wisdom we all carry within us, fostering a deeper understanding of our true essence.
The path forward
To write, illustrate and publish a trilogy of books despite having no formal training, just a yearning desire to create something that will bring joy to others.
