Wow, it has been about 2 years since I wrote the concept of Charmed Adventures while remembering childhood adventures I had.
It seems like yesterday that I was living in the middle of nowhere (Chesaning/New Lothrop, MI) on some acres surrounded by fields and trees. Ok, we did have a pond filled with fish, frogs and anything else that decided to visit. My days included creating adventures of traveling big seas (pond), building big castles (tree house), riding in carriages (wagon pulled behind a family dog), living with Eskimos (piled snow dug out in the center), and many more.
This place called home was the start of creating many adventures, but never the end. Every summer my family would pack up the family van and travel the US and Canada to see the many treasures this world of ours has to offer. I learned a great deal from traveling. You can make friends with other children even if you don't speak the same language. A smile, hug and hand shake don't need words, but have similar meanings. You can have all the money in the world, it doesn't mean you will have fun. The most satisfaction comes when you use your imagination and put your mind to things. Laughter is the best medicine and those that learn to laugh at themselves have the fastest recovery.
Not everyone has the most charmed life. Life is what you make it. However, if it takes a charm to open your world to new adventure, then pick it up and use it as the power to give you the imagination to create an new adventure. A person can make anything become real in their own way. Not all minds think the same or work the same, but can come to the same answer.
The book series "Charmed Adventures" has been created to help children to think outside of the box and to encourage them to make their own adventures. As a child, I was not the "smart" one, but the "creative" one. However, based on the ability that I could make anything become real, I always found a way to figure things out in my own way. This allowed me to take an adventure through the work world of interior design, tooling design, automotive chassis design, GM engineering, GM marketing and consulting. Now I'm inviting you to join me in my new adventure of authoring my first book series "Charmed Adventures".
