  • Lot's of input from our guests. Fun was had by all.

Here's a few of our favorite quotes from last night.

"I feel Indigo's primary lesson...live the love you feel inside, not the fear that makes you hide...is MY biggest lesson. Everyday i bring attention to love instead of fear..." By Alexandra

"I really admire Indigo's character because I can identify with that character when I was at that age it was reading into my past different upbringings but similar situations" By Melany


"Alexandra, looks like there are 3 ways of perceiving who we are ... who we really are, who we think we are, and who others think we are...the key (or bracelet) is connecting with who we really are and not concern ourselves with the rest..." Becky


Thanks again for joining in on the fun. Winners will be notified by email.

Indigo's Bracelet Review and Live Chat Details



Indigo's Bracelet
Indigo's Bracelet By: Alexandra Folz
Illustrated By: Carol Ann Johnson


Indigo's Bracelet is a chapter book full of treasures for ages seven to preteen. We found Indigo's Bracelet so refreshing and captivating because Indigo was so grounded in who she is. She's alluring, animated and high spirited.


In today's world this book can help teach children how to be self empowered, learn how to be comfortable in their own skin, and be confident in their choices. Ideal for parents teaching their children how to work through everyday life experiences by being present in the moment.


There are many spiritual tools and hidden messages through-out the book. Reading about a ten year old girl named Indigo, was so empowering even to the reader to watch her self-discovery as she learned to follow her intuition and listen to her inner voice instead of believing what other people said about her.


Indigo's Bracelet left us full of gratitude for the reinforcement and rock solid support demonstrated by Indigo's  mom.

"Supporting the inner light of the children" Carol Lawrence and Stacy Toten

May 18, 2011



 "It is an act of irresponsible self-indulgence to cite our childhood histories as excuses for any of our present
behaviors, attitudes, or qualities that are less than healthy.
 The difficult circumstances and unhappy effects of those childhood years provide clues to the very conditions we are meant, in this lifetime, to experience, overcome, understand and forgive." ~ Robin Norwood


From her book Women Who Love To Much.

What is an online live author chat?


What is an online live author chat? We have had the pleasure of connecting with and reviewing some incredible books in our genre. Most of the authors we've reviewed have been interested in meeting their audience in a more connected way. They want to meet you, the potential reader. They want to have a conversation with you, hear what you have to say and answer any questions you might have. These live author chats have been very fun and informative.
