Heartwarming and Uplifting Picture Book for Children and Adults

From the moment we are born, someone is telling us to be careful. No matter what country we call home or what language we speak, I Love You, Be Careful—a picture book that is also designed to be a gift book for adults and children alike—shares these word that follow us our entire lives. The beautiful illustrations capture poignant memories and cause one to reflect on all the “Be Careful” moments in life and smile.

I Love You, Be Careful can be experienced in two ways. The book can be purchased as a print version (in hard or soft cover) for personal use or as a gift. You can also send as an eBook/Card from Amazon.com, Smashword, B&N or wherever eBooks are sold. (Note: There is a page to personalize it as a gift for adults or children.)

Co-authored by sisters Joan Dickow and Judy Snider, the idea of I Love You, Be Careful started from a telephone conversation one day when the sisters talked about wanting their loved ones to be safe and know how much they are loved.

“No matter whether it was our grown kids, husbands or other loved ones our love and concern for them inspired us to write this book,” states Judy Snider.

Judy Snider lives in Virginia Beach, Virginia with her husband, Gil and two silly cats. She is the author of the CWA award-winning children’s picture book, Goldy’s Baby Socks and one of a team of authors who wrote, The Scared Purse.

Joan Dickow stated, “Everyday moments in my life inspire me!” 

Joan Dickow is a 20-year breast cancer survivor, a mother, grandmother, wife, friend and sister. She finds that there is beauty all around her and all her good moments and stressful moments inspire her. She lives in Berkley, Michigan with her husband, Fred and their cat, Coffee. This is her first book and she is currently working on her second picture book, The Porch Fairy.

I Love You, Be Careful makes you think about all of the times that a loved one goes off to school, play or work, and you say, “I Love You, Be Careful!" It opens discussion for children to talk and ask questions, and each page presents a different 'be careful' moment for the reader to contemplate. Lighthearted and sweet, this book would be a lovely addition to any library. Cady B. Driver does the book’s beautiful illustrations.

Getting Unstuck: From Fear to Love in a World Gone Sideways

Sometimes, we wake up to find the world changed overnight. At least, it feels that way. In reality, shifts like the ones we’ve been living through don’t happen in an instant—they build over years, quietly at first, until one day it’s undeniable. We find ourselves staring at headlines that make us feel like we’ve stepped into an alternate reality, and the shock is so great we don’t even know how to respond. That’s where this episode of Language of the Soul began: with the feeling of paralysis. Dominick called it out plainly—this chaos is not accidental. It’s part of a strategy as old as authoritarianism itself: overwhelm the public so thoroughly that the shock itself prevents action. When the headlines are one absurdity after another, people shut down. That’s when it becomes easiest to normalize what should never be normalized. I think most of us have felt that paralysis at some point over the past weeks. Whether you lean left, right, or somewhere in between, fear and exhaustion wear...

Families Matter: Halloween Safety Tips

Halloween can be a fun and scary time for kids. Here are a few tips for keeping Halloween safe too. 1. Make sure masks and costumes don't block the vision of your child. Keep props easy to carry and avoid using any prop that has sharp points or edges to prevent injury while trick or treating. 2. Use flashlights, reflector material on the costume, or bright clothing to make sure others see your child, especially vehicles following or driving in the neighborhood. 3. Inspect all candy and treats before allowing children to eat them. Dispose of any that are not sealed properly. Fruits and homemade goodies should only be consumed from those you know, and not strangers. 4. One option to trick or treating might be a small party for your child's friends. Supervision by parents that you know, foods that you are preparing, and having the party at your house all work towards keeping your children safe while providing a fun atmosphere. Games, prizes, and a movie or bonfi...
