Awareness for All Children’s Education

Amor Milagre The ABC's of Hoppy Bunny & Nursery Friends children's book
Amor Milagre The ABC’s of Hoppy Bunny & Nursery Friends children’s printed book and audiobook.  Braille books are coming up!

 

All children communicate in their own way.  This post is a reminder for parents, caregivers, family, and school staff to be a safe place for children so that they may feel comfortable to express themselves in any way that comes naturally.

If you don’t yet understand their beautifully unique language, it is your responsibility to find out ways to learn their language and how to teach them everything.  Neglect and negativity is unacceptable and so very damaging.  Bridge the communication gap.  It’s all about a translation.  Think of people like countries, if it helps you, to understand that we each live in our own experience of the world.  Begin with love, trust, and a sensitive promise that you will help them always.  Let them know:  You will be there, being supportive, healthy, safe, encouraging, and inspiring.  You will listen with all of your senses.  Empathy is the key to every language.

Everyone learns in their own way.  Everyone deserves attention, patience, love, and a real education. Each child is beautiful and intelligent.  Equality for education in every way is a basic right that needs to become a reality for each child worldwide.  Every person has a lifetime of wonders to live and share with the world.  Be the guide, the helper, the parent.

In our homeschool, we love to learn every language.  We learn with every sense.  We keep our minds open and invite new ideas and connections.  Learning languages is interesting, humbling, and I encourage everyone to learn as much about other cultures as possible to create awareness for world peace.

Every person, no matter the age, can resolve, redesign, and replace ways of living that we know do not work by simply living empathically.  Make it all better, not worse.  Confusion is the beginning of learning something new.  Open your heart and find out what comes next…  I’ll let you know…it’s something very good.  Trust me.  You’ll love it!

Love to all of the children.  You deserve everything positive, respectful, inclusive, and so very kind.  Shine your light!  Love, Amor Milagre

 

The Silent Child by Rachel Shenton is a short film that sheds a profound awareness for one example of a child who needs someone to really listen and help.  Redesign every educational system to help everyone.  Love to all.

Books that Travel Beautifully

Amor Milagre Books that Travel Beautifully
Leona’s Homecoming:  The Love Letter Diaries, The First Year of Seasonal Festivals, 4 Novels Vol. I by Amor Milagre

 

In the pocket of a trusty travel bag fits a delicious novel and a sweet children’s book to savour on a train or plane, in a lamplit inn with the summer breeze kissing your robed cheeks, or swaying on a hammock in your back garden.  ‘Il dolce far niente’ means the sweetness of doing nothing in Italian.  Letting yourself find what you love nourishes and rejuvenates the soul.  My books are for all ages and encourage authentic, kind, peaceful practices and ideas to try.  I love rereading them with our family as I hope you do, too.

In this often chaotic world, I write ways to live beautifully and naturally.  My characters help instead of harm.  They are funny, sweet, thoughtful, and very real.  I send love to anyone who must travel due to emergencies in their homeland.  As I know too well, this kind of travel is not at all relaxing as a vacation would be.  People leave to save their lives.  They are trying to escape danger.  All they had built is left behind, and they have to start over, usually with nothing.  This is heartbreaking and incredibly dangerous.  Precautions and safe help are urgently needed during times of war, natural disasters, and abuse.  Every country must protect the rights of women and children.  Re-abolish slavery for good.  Replace the history of negativity with positive growth that benefits everyone.  New beginnings are a chance to redesign for a better life.  Although we all may miss precious things that were lost due to trauma, we can heal and rebuild a healthy future to keep all of the babies of the world safe.  Peace is possible if we all choose it.

I include tragic misfortunes and terrible struggles in my books, but I paint up characters who help those in need of a positive solution to solve troubles that seem out of their control.  There are too many large and small scale problems on every street and hill in the world.  I write peaceful ideas in the hope that positivity will spread down those streets and over those hills to reach anyone who needs help the most.  Any little bit of help can make the most important difference for one or many.  I wish you a peaceful summer, and I urge everyone to do something that helps someone in the coming months. *Ask how you may help, and then listen.  Work with people to solve and prevent problems.  Ask if you did help, and listen again.  Repeat forever.

I am working on a way for a percentage of each sale to be donated to an organization that directly aids those in need of help while searching for a safe, new home.  Being forced to live a nomadic, uncertain life is cruel, dangerous, and terrifying.  We all need a steady, safe home.  We all can work together to help everyone have this basic need.  Our world must get out of this constant survival mode and change into a deep, lasting time of healing.  Equality and safety is needed worldwide.

Amor Milagre Books that Travel Beautifully

In my gift shop, I also feature artwork and photography inspired by my travels.  Nature adores us always…trailing all the way from a rose wall in Tuscany back home to a sweet rose blooming in our New England cottage garden.  Help, don’t harm.  Preserve nature.  Enjoy your unique senses of nature.

 

Shop:  A Gentle Life Collection

Books Sizes/Types:  Digital Audio, Hardback Pocket, Digest, Square, (Paperbacks are Coming Soon)

 

My books are cosy to read, or listen to, when at home, on a work break or weekend, and while travelling.  Many of my stories are set in New England, such as my Sage Rose Sorrel children’s books, but here are some others that you might love to tag along with as my characters explore new favourite places.

Amaranthe tells of living in NYC and France.  Leona has lived in two homes in Italy:  one by the mountains and one by the sea.  Ellary Eden grows a helpful, enchanting garden in the Witching World!  I have just finished three fresh novels for you to explore soon.  There is one especially delicious new book that is set in Belgium!  Every time you explore a new place, you learn so much for your life ahead.

Happy, safe travels to you!  Love, Amor Milagre

Quiet the World

Amor Milagre Cottage Garden End Pollution and Violence

Lay down your weapons and melt them to make bridges

Prevent your threats…..listen

No more pollution

Let seeds wander and grow

Respect women and children

Equality and safety for all

Kind empathic leaders are in and the rest are done

Redesign it all to be healing and proactive

Be honest with therapists and journals before you reenter the world, now with positive habits

Unplug the machines and grow organic edible plants

Plant perennials for pollinators in place of lawns

Quiet the world and listen

Listen to bees humming, birds nesting, babies sleeping, your own energy pulsing, and peace sighing

 

Peace is Possible…so easily possible

Nursery Animal Fine Art: Watercolour Paintings, Prints, & Cards

Amor Milagre Leopard Animal Art Collection Nursery Art Prints Originals and Stationery Cards

Hello and Happy Spring! 

This week, I’m re-introducing my Nursery Animal Art Collection as many new darlings will join these beauties this year.  I am selling original watercolour paintings, art prints, and stationery greeting cards.  Matching stationery card sets and children’s books will be released, too.  I paint the animals’ essence and energy.  The animals’ unique traits are clear and can be easily learned by little nature lovers.  It is very important to raise awareness for preserving and respecting nature from an early age.  Pollution is preventable and so is unnecessary extinction.  The awe-inspiring patterns and characters of animals are forever inspiring.  Many new little friends will run, hop, and splash into my shop each season.  The papers are recycled and FSC Certified.  I love to grow my animal family each year.  I hope you will enjoy exploring my collections to mix and match the art to create your own unique art gallery and to give as special gifts for dear ones.  All ages can enjoy my work, but they are especially sweet in a nursery.

Shop the Animal Collection 

Nursery Gallery Art Prints Stationery Amor Milagre 8 x 10 Nursery Animal Art Shop

Here are a few of the Best Sellers.  One lady framed the leopard for her dining room.  Another family bought most of the originals for their baby’s nursery.  Many art prints and cards sell individually or grouped with my Illustrated Garden Alphabet Letters.  New originals are coming up!  Snap them up quickly, but if you don’t it’s ok…the 8X10″ prints are very clear and the ink is quite close to the original colours.  I did many tests to make sure the prints were accurate.  I prefer originals in our nursery.  The Tiger, you see above, I reserved for our home.  You may even frame the cards before or after sending to a friend.  This week, these loves will run into my book file to join their connective story.  Hope you have a good weekend with peaceful rest and wild daydreams.

Stay cosy and safe.  Love to all, ~Amor Milagre

Feminist Books & Homeschool

Amor Milagre A Gentle Life Collection Art Books Stationery Design

I write loving, real, feminist characters of all genders and ages to illustrate that peace is possible. Inclusion allows everyone to feel represented, even though we are all unique beings.

During our family reading time and homeschool lessons, I have to spend energy commenting on story details that leave out reality. Too many books are not rooted in positivity, so we have to be careful what we ingest into our memories. Children are forming outlooks. Their memories are amazing. I explain why the characters have these accepted/unacceptable bad habits. Then, we talk about the contrast so that this violence is not brought into our peaceful way of living.  We have to research feminist books as women have been edited out of history. Every book, even compiled works on a specific topic or over an extensive time period, only features one or two women. We have found some newly published books about women in history. Why do they have to be separate books?

How much of women’s work has been lost, ignored, stolen, or masked under a different name? It’s bad enough to have to include the violent reality of this world in our inspired, life-loving school, but for every invention or talent to be only represented by males is unacceptable.  All day, we say “he, he, he, he…”  Where are the women?  I want to say, “She, they, he, she, she, he, they, they, she, he, he, she, he, she, they…”

I encourage authors to make up for this lack and deprivation of female inspiration. Write truly feminist books that inspire peace.  My books celebrate the beautiful reality of the people in our world. Everyone is a precious soul.  All genders are represented and loved.  My male characters are kind, respectful, and support  the women, children, males, and everyone.  My LGBTIQA+  characters are amazing, inspiring, and adored.  My women characters are wonderful, respected, and they support everyone. The children in my books teach us the most.  They are the light of the world.  All of my characters live and grow as their natural selves.  There are no dividing groups, just a community of friends.  Even the people who don’t have identifiers feel included, safe, and self-loving.  Illness and violence are preventable. Nature and gardening are at the center of my stories. If you can take care of everything, then everyone will have what they need.  Choose to live peacefully.

Female characters in many books are usually written in a way that shows nothing of our life, our struggle, our joy, our bodies, and our thoughts. I write books to include our lives to show how easily our world can be feminist. There is so much work that needs to be done to help women. Equality is the basic first step. Respect is a choice. Choose to respect women and everyone. Love, Amor Milagre

Dancing Queen Chess Lovers Deckled Edge Notecard

Amor Milagre Dancing Queen Chess Notecard Greeting Card Drawing Illustration 6

Shop this New Notecard

Our little family loves to play games…especially chess!  Do you love games, too?

Years ago, I made a drawing of a chess piece whilst on a train to Paris.  Recently, I wandered back in time through my travelling pink pocket sketchbook, and when I gently turned the page, a little dancer leaped out onto a sweet deckled notecard for you to send to a friend.  This cheeky, yet empowering, Queen inspires a joyful energy for improving the mind.  She reminds us that games are a wonderful way to spend time together.  Happy Playtime!  Love, Amor Milagre

The feathered, deckled edges are sweet and romantic, the creamy colour is soft and timeless, allowing your messages to be the focus.

Print Books, Audiobook, Nursery Illustration Art Prints, & Greeting Cards

Hoppy Bunny gently teaches little readers how to use alphabet letters to invent nursery games and tell loving, kind stories with friends.  Enjoy these sweet watercolour illustrations for a cozy feeling every time you snuggle up to read.  Each letter of the alphabet is highlighted in a custom colour for that page.

A classic tale of the beloved toy friends in our Rose Cottage nursery makes for a favourite bedtime comfort.  One of the infinite lovely things about children is the way they leave hilarious and darling scenes and surprises around the home.  These pages capture a few of those precious moments when I happened upon a nursery story unfolding. 

Hoppy Bunny practices mindfulness and shows how to take respectful care of all you have and love.  This book was designed for all children, and it is especially inspiring for homeschool students who can use their surroundings and imagination to invent a story land of peaceful messages.  Positive self-care practices are included as a loving guide to lead the self on a healthy path for a beautiful life.

 

I wrote and illustrated this sweet book earlier this year to promote peace for all and to help our empathic family cope with the preventable tragedies in the world.  Life is precious and all need to be respected.  I hope these pages grow sweetness for you, too.

 

*A special thank you to my Baby Bunny author/illustrator who helped brainstorm fun ideas, stage, and dress these lovely friends as you see them in the illustrations.

All of my books are for you, my Heart.

Choose Peace.  Give Peace.  Love,  Amor Milagre

Choose Peace

Choose Peace, Nature Photography at amormilagre.com Lake Mountain waterscape

What does peace mean?

Peace means everyone is accepted for the beautiful unique being that they are naturally.  Peace means all humans, plants, animals, places, and nature are respected.  Peace means being honest, aware, inventive, and ready to make positive changes to help all be in harmony together and to heal the harm done on Earth.  Peace starts with every person’s thoughts to awaken to empathy, love, and helpful actions.  Peace means respecting all, especially women and children.  Peace means being helpful and not harmful.  There have always been so many people in need, and we all need to help ourselves and others to heal and thrive.  We are all connected by energy.  Let the world connect with strings of loving energy.  This old soul empath gets sick every time any of you are struggling and so, I am always struggling, too.  Prevent pain and illness world-wide with peace.  To counter the world’s chosen chaos, I make loving books and art to inspire peaceful living.  Everyone can do something positive.  My upcoming novelette inspires every country to help others.  Take sexual violence seriously and do everything to prevent it.  Raise awareness and finally hear these horrific stories.  It is real and it happens everywhere.  It is damaging beyond words and cannot be allowed.  Teach emotional health and mental health awareness to all children and adults.  No one has the right to harm another.  Equality for all is a basic right.  There has always been an urgent need for *safe healthy housing for women and children who seek rest to heal from this abusive, neglectful, and unfeeling world.  But, why should it even be needed in the first place?  Let everyone live a peaceful, respected life.  What can you do to help?  Stop choosing violence on all levels, don’t allow it, and go the other way to find that love and compassion not only feel better but create a positive ripple effect.  This world can easily feel healthy and amazing if we all are helpful and not harmful.  Get back to nature and choose plants not war, pollution, or negative energy.  Learn about what everyone needs for peace, especially for us highly sensitive people because what would be peaceful for us is healthy for everyone.  If one person is harmed, it harms everyone.  Peace is a choice that everyone can choose every day, every moment.  Open your heart and let the world grow goodness.

Denying or ignoring the horrific things that are real and happening every day to everyone all over the world is a shocking part in the cycle of violence and abuse.  Listen, believe, wake up, and help.  Set a new path of peace.  Women in leadership roles, we need many more of you.  Do not follow the toxic or violent masculine examples that pressure you.  Be peaceful.  I know too well that the survivors are unheard, not believed, blamed, or even told they are confused when they have been brave enough to ask for justice when their life is in danger.  The people in charge, especially the women, cannot be the confused ones and they cannot further abuse survivors.  Find all those who were abducted and prevent war, displacement, and loss.  Do not leave people for dead, especially not because a system is wrong.  Life is precious.  Leaders and helpers need to be listening, empowering, and ready to do the right thing.  Time is important.  Safety is imperative.  Prevent illness, pain, injury, death, loss, war, famine, rape, murder, and suffering.  The current systems are extremely wrong and do not help, but rather they make it worse, rendering a world message of ‘You are alone and no one will help you.’  That needs to change.  A reliable respectful system, not hopelessness, needs to be the feeling whenever help is needed.  Make honest, smart systems that work so people can safely report abuse, get help, and to stop the abusers in the world from doing more harm.  Women and children need a safe world so they can breathe, live, and be themselves.  If the world knew what reality was, it would have to change everything immediately.  Stand up for the truth and save lives.  Believe the innocent, the survivors, the ones who need help.  If anyone is taking in survivors of trauma and war, know that a truly safe place is necessary.  Do not harm these people.  All of the lost children need safe helpers to find their families or new safe homes.  This world needs a complete redesign so that all people are held accountable for their actions.  We need a safe world for all.

Love to all of you who are suffering, who are coping with PTSD, illness, injury, and pain, to all of the children, women, mothers, fathers, those who have lost loves, anyone who has suffered sexual violence, all who are pregnant or have newborns, anyone feeling helpless or hopeless, love to the empaths and old souls who live war daily, love to anyone in shock, and love to all of the helpers.  We thank you all for being there when someone needed you.  Every bit helps, but much more immediate and lasting help is needed locally and all over the world.  Be a safe person for the world.  Plant seeds of goodness and help them grow, teaching others as you go.

Love, Amor Milagre

A: Peace & Plants

Amor Milagre Apple Orchard #5.1 Nature Photography Art Prints amormilagre.com

Q:  What is the answer?  A:  Peace and Plants

Peace is needed everywhere, within and out there to share, to be, and for all to live safely and freely.

Plants are needed to breathe, to heal, to protect, to house, to eat, to amaze, to balance, and to pollinate.

There is a serious lack of both.

Peace is felt by just being around plants.  Plants can thrive in a peaceful world.

Learn from nature.  There is a renewing cycle in the natural world.  It is harmonious, and it only works well when everything is included, but even so it adapts with clever solutions if there is something lacking.  I encourage everyone to examine all choices, thoughts, and ways of communicating.  Are you helping or harming?  Choose to help yourself and others.  Choose peace and plants.

Peace is a world full of plants, and plants give peace.

Grow Plants = Grow Peace

It is a good time for all to use/provide natural solutions to replace pollutive systems with sensitive earth-friendly ones, such as for heating, transportation, growing plants/food, and quiet non-toxic simple machines (including for the organic/non-GMO garden).  Ban sound pollution like leaf blowers and fireworks, which are particularly painful for people with hearing or sound-related neurological conditions such as hyperacusis.  Fireworks, and other loud sounds, are highly insensitive and cruel during this time when world tensions are high.  End violence of all scales.  There are so many people that need help.  Let everyone rest, sleep, and let babies nap.  Let everyone live in peace.  Children need peace for healthy development.  All children and people have the right to education and a safe world.  Everyone needs peace to heal.  Pollution of all kinds injures all ages with negative immediate and long-term health effects.  There is no time or energy for negativity and there is much to heal.  Get back to nature today.  Let the trees grow in the right spots so that they may thrive and age.  Grow healthy food and don’t wrap it in toxic materials.  Allow people and animals to recharge and connect quietly in nature.  Save your seeds and plant goodness for a positive tomorrow.

Nature and love are everything.  The world is real, so why does it not feel like it?  There is not much of nature left, and too many are taught to not communicate about reality.  This is dangerous and it perpetuates a negative cycle.  Mental health awareness and pollution awareness need to be addressed on all levels.  Children, and all people, need to learn how to:  understand emotional health, ask for help, help those who need it, heal themselves, and communicate lovingly and respectfully.  Peace is possible if we all choose it.  Unlearn negativity and Live Peace.

 

Love to All for Love is Everywhere

Let the world breathe…we have good things to do and share.

Love, an ancient empathic soul, ~ Amor Milagre

Natural Beauty: Go Grey & Show Grey

Amor Milagre Waterfall Garden Travel Photography Nature Art Print amormilagre.com 1

A cloud is not just one colour.

A leaf is not one either.

Nature is always flowing, changing, and embracing itself, learning from the last second and moving forward to the next.

Dear Humans, we all need to catch up with the raindrops and waterfalls…

and embrace who you are today.

If you are going grey, show grey.

Be a moon goddess or moon god.  Age naturally, lovingly, and gracefully at every age.  Get back to nature, appreciate all the colours, and unwind from the world’s specific and too often toxic views on beauty.  Let your natural beauty show, lessen the pain, prevent illness, and reduce the endless repetition of taught routines that never really let you feel like you measure up to the current ideal beauty standards.  Look back at beauty trends…it is ridiculous and very unhealthy.  Every baby is beautiful and grows and changes like a tree or a flower.  Isn’t it extraordinary when we see an especially unique plant?  Why not have the same attitude and mindset for human beauty?

I grew up in a hair salon, and was taught to ‘be’ and look a certain way.  I felt constantly harassed about it, thus creating a ‘hopeless’ self image that I ignored because I couldn’t care that much about something that was not attainable, especially because I did not agree with it.  I like nature, trees, and being myself.  I never listen to bullies, but harassment of any kind does somehow separate you from yourself in ways.  I have had white silvery grey hair since I was young, due to trauma and shock from extreme illnesses.  I was taught to hide this hair with hair colour.  Hair colour, no matter what kind, is toxic and creates illness…short & long term.  There are carcinogens in hair colour formulas.  The smell alone is a sign it is unhealthy.  It causes instant sensory reactions and migraines.  When free of these teachings, (and I do deeply regret not protesting from the start), I let it grow out, and have adjusted to the beautiful colours that are my hair now.  After all that has been going on in my life, the unnecessary illness and limitations, I just feel happy to even have hair.  There is so much preventable illness in the world, and so much unnecessary suffering, shame, and judgement about appearances.  Is the world ready to get to know itself, under the surface?

With healthy organic minimal care, my hair is strong again and beautiful like moonlight.  I do support and encourage all people to stop editing and hiding themselves.  It is not in your best interest, and will not add real confidence or real happiness.  Whole health means building a connected way of living that is helpful and not harmful.  Choosing things in your life is important, and real awareness for what is truly positive energy needs to surface for all.  At the very least, give children a choice with full information about toxicity and immediate and long-term effects.  It has been good to see more people celebrating their grey in recent years.  It is time for the world to show its true colours and love them all!

It is amazing when you have a child and realize…hey…I wasn’t so hideous!  I am beautiful…like this precious angel I get to take care of each day.  I have always respected and cared for myself, but I don’t want to ‘fit in’ with, what is to me, the world’s toxic mess.  I never spent time focusing on ‘beauty’ as the world sees it because there is not one ‘perfect’ look.  Illness can also open your heart to only focus on important things, like surviving.  Make sure you don’t believe toxic criticism because everyone is beautiful, no matter what anyone says.  Bullying needs to be completely done.  It makes no sense and has so many long-term effects on a person’s life and choices.  Don’t try to limit someone’s thoughts and life path because you are insecure.  Heal yourself.  If someone is bullying you, you need to get help.

If you choose to grow your natural hair colour out, no matter what shades, textures, and combinations it reveals itself to be, be patient with yourself, know you are a part of nature, and love all of you for you are beautiful just the way you are.  A healthy trim is a good idea to start your process out with a healthy choice.  Eat healthy foods, stretch, breathe, and get rest.  Let go of negative thought patterns.  It takes time for natural hair to grow out.  Come up with a phrase if  you feel impatient during the in-between phase.  Positive affirmations work if you are sincere.  Find nourishing products (organic, non-GMO, vegan, non-plastic), if you need anything at all, like coconut oil and a good sustainable wooden brush for your specific hair type.  Be gentle, because hair is delicate.  No matter how much hair you have, a healthy scalp is important.  Massaging in some organic scalp oil can help stimulate hair health.

I believe in healthy, informed habits and routines.  I try beyond my best to take good care of myself and my family.  I self-educate, and we are always learning, adapting, and changing.  Replacing unhealthy habits and choices with better ones is not scary or miserable.  It is something to be embraced and adored.  Take pleasure in caring for yourself.  Explain to children why you use certain things and do special things so they understand ‘choices’.  They need to make their own choices. The world needs to know what people are really like naturally, and stop shaming others into trying to appear as someone else.  Be your authentic self.

This text is from one of my upcoming healthy books, and I hope it helps you to adore every strand of hair you have, no matter what colour it is.  Adore every freckle, every smile line, and keep smiling!  If your hair is curly, let your curls dance in the breeze.  Spend your precious time with Nature, and by doing so, you can learn how to love yourself even more each day.

As an empath, it hurts so much to be in this world…to feel everyone fight and fuss.  Why?  Equality is needed.  End judgements of all kinds, for every colour is beautiful.  Let the world include everything that is in the world.  End racism, end sexism, end pollution, end abuse, and end toxic energy.  Stop the violence and prevent illness.  Heal.  What are you spending your time on?  Rethink how you think.  Shed toxic traditions and thoughts.  Are you building something good, or redoing harmful routines?  Enjoy the beauty all around and within us for there is so much of it!

Get to know your true self, and there you will find confidence, a positive body image and mindset.  Inspire yourself to take the best care of you.

Shine your light for you are…too marvelous for words!

New beautiful books will release as soon as I can do so.

I include loving energy in every book, painting, and day.

 

Love, an old soul, Amor Milagre
