Thank You!

You make a difference PLUS see the first chapter

Hello Friends,

The outpouring of love, book orders, and support this past week was simply amazing. Thank you!

Would you like to see the first chapter of the workbook? I shared a PDF of the intro in a previous newsletter. But today you can see both the intro and the first chapter of the book when you click this link (after you click the link, you’ll need to PAUSE, and then scroll down).

The first chapter will give you a good feel for the content, fun-factor, and layout of the book. If you haven’t yet ordered the Mindfulness and Self-Compassion Workbook for Kids, Volume 1, you can order it now :).

ORDER THE BOOK

Thank you to all who ordered on the 24th and shared your receipt numbers with me. If you ordered on launch date but didn’t yet register for the How to Help Kids with Tricky Thoughts and Feelings Masterclass, you are still welcome to do so. I numbered the list of names and used a random number generator to pick #24, Anvita Mishra, who won the Super Snuggles raffle!

Coincidentally, Anvita was present on launch day and was a phenomenal contributor to the workbook and book launch effort. And Anvita’s daughter, Aarya, is pictured below helping me cut the cake. Aarya spent hundreds of hours with me creating and editing activities in the book.

To date, I have received 10 workbooks to donate to children at Fratney Elementary – a diverse Milwaukee Public School. Mil gracias (a thousand thanks) to those of you who have already donated!

If you would like to donate a workbook, you can send copies of the book to my husband’s work (Patrick Bieser, 1572 E. Capitol, Shorewood, WI 53211), and I will hand-deliver the book to a child at Fratney. I’m hoping to get 60 books, one for each third grader.

You can also order the workbook for yourself (your inner child!) and your loved ones. This mother-daughter pair shared:

“We love doing the mindfulness and self-compassion workbook together so we can help each other name our feelings to tame our feelings. We do the workbook together at night before bed.” –Fia and Thekla Ross 

It seems kind of crazy that the first volume of the workbook has been launched. I have a lot of side-by-side feelings (which I will share with you next week). Helping kids joyfully learn self-compassion feels like a dream come true! Thank you for being a part of my dream team.

With love and gratitude,

Jamie Lynn

P.S. Here’s a video of our family singing “We Are in It Together” at the launch party. I have tears of joy and gratitude as I introduce the song:

P.P.S. I will be offering a Mindful Self-Compassion for Teens class for adolescents, ages 11-14, mid-November thru mid-December. You can reply to this email for details if you’re interested for your teen / pre-teen!
