While zooming through the zoo of life, crap inevitably arises. Fighting against it often leads to bigger messes. But what if poo is not poo but the beginnings of something new? With nowhere to hide the obvious stench of poo on a shoe, what can be done but to face the truth? Take a load off, and ponder the possibilities of something so innocuous as stepping in crap could spark personal creation for all to enjoy. Yes, it happens. Belinda Karman (BA in Psy. & Art; MEd.), a parent of two, is a lifelong educator lovingly known as Miss Belle by some. While following her life path from Hong Kong, U.S.A., U.K., and Singapore to Canada, she holds fast her dedication to the continual healing and development at both the personal and collective levels. This commitment has led to her learning and adapting her works intuitively from healing modalities such as craniosacral therapy, restorative yoga, energy healing, hypnotherapy, personal training, to now publishing books for the children around us and within us. www.livingrestorative.com
