Writing Stories That Help You Feel, Heal and Begin Again

Hi, I’m Justine.

I write stories that help humans of all ages return to themselves — with more joy, more safety and more inner trust.
My work blends creativity, reflection and a deep respect for the emotional worlds we navigate every day.

Today Is a New Day is my children’s debut, written straight from the heart.

My second book, Practical Surrender, is a part-guide, part-memoir about the art of letting life meet you — coming soon.

For Children

Some days feel harder than others for kids too.

Today Is a New Day helps children discover that even when they feel small, worried, or unsure of themselves, they still carry a spark inside.

Through a gentle story and uplifting message, children learn:

• everyone has an inner spark
• tough moments do not define who they are
• tomorrow is always a chance to try again

The story reminds young readers that courage and confidence grow little by little.

For Parents & Families

Parents want their children to feel strong, capable, and confident in who they are.

Today Is a New Day gives families a simple and meaningful way to talk about resilience, self-belief, and navigating difficult emotions.

Parents will appreciate how the story:

• opens conversations about feelings
• encourages perseverance after setbacks
• reminds children they are stronger than they think

It is the kind of story that can become part of a bedtime routine when children need reassurance and encouragement.

For Educators & Program Leaders

Teachers are often helping children navigate challenges both inside and outside the classroom.

Today Is a New Day provides a gentle story that can support lessons around emotional regulation, perseverance, and self-confidence.

Educators can use the book to:

• start conversations about resilience
• reinforce social emotional learning
• encourage students to recognize their strengths

It is an approachable way to introduce important life skills in a format children understand.
