Willow Roots presents
Starseedreams Monthly
NEWSLETTER
Issue #1- September 2025
đź’Ś Opening Message
Dear Friends,
It has been far too long since I last reached out, and I want to begin by apologizing. It’s taken me a year to put this first newsletter together and reconnect with you, but I’m so grateful to finally be here. Life has taken me on quite a journey, and I would love to hear how you are doing in your own ventures, too. My hope is that these monthly letters become a way for us to stay connected and inspired, as we walk our own paths while sharing the same light.
đź“š Book Updates
When many of you last heard from me, I had just one published book, When Pigs Fly. Since then, I’ve written a total of 18 titles! You can find them all gathered on my website here: Willow Roots Website.
I’m currently working on making all of my books digitally available, as getting print editions distributed here in Ecuador has been a challenge. I’m also in the process of translating them into Spanish to reach even more readers. One special milestone I’m grateful to share is that my book Lucy received the International Impact Award, which has been such an honor and affirmation of this journey.
🌟 Project Spotlight
This month’s spotlight is on the upcoming Bedtime Stories Series I’ll be launching through STARseedreams, my YouTube channel for kids. I’d love to invite you to be part of it! If you or your child has one of my books, I warmly encourage you to record a read-a-loud video and share it with me. Selected videos will be featured as part of the series, giving children a chance to see stories come to life through familiar voices and faces.
🌱 Personal Reflection
Moving to Ecuador has transformed my life in ways I never expected. What began as a plan to help open a healing center and study Reiki and massage turned into a profound spiritual awakening. I discovered a world of angels and demons, even the devil himself—and through it, my true purpose: to bring light into the darkness. Along the way, I’ve come to know God as my Father and Earth as my Mother, and every story I write now carries this deeper calling within it.
🤝 Community Corner
Your voice matters! I’d love to invite you to join in shaping future stories.
Children can send in questions for my Wonder Series—if chosen, the question will become the title of a book and they’ll be honored with a special dedication page.
Submissions are also open for my Adverse Childhood Experience Series, where selected stories will receive dedication pages as well, honoring their courage and contribution.
I hope these opportunities help create a true circle of shared storytelling where my readers become co-creators in the journey.
đź”® Looking Ahead
Here’s what’s on the horizon for the months ahead:
The launch of the STARseedreams Bedtime Stories Series.
A fundraising effort to bring printed books to Ecuador at a lower cost to the community. Books are often far more expensive here, and I want to make sure children and families can enjoy them without financial barriers.
The start of a local community workshop. Each month, we’ll gather to read one of my stories aloud, recreate scenes through art, and even stage mini performances. My hope is that with time—and with the help of donations—we’ll grow this into a small public library with an art section and a stage for children to dress up as their favorite characters.
