Pure as Gold (picture cover for display purposes only)

Dreams. You know how they're usually chaotic, nothing really makes sense, people act super weird and everything is just really bizarre, with crazy stuff going on, and when you wake up its like,

“Ahh … What the heck did I just watch”… right?

Well this was different! I actually dreamed an entire, fully comprehensible 'cartoon' and it's being created into an actual book right now.

It stars a kind and loving, Master Goldsmith who gives a young girl a pure, perfect, untarnished, flawless, immaculate piece of precious gold with the hopeful request that she keep it hidden, in a secret place until one very, special day – the Day of the Big Exchange.

It also features the girl as a teenager, showing deep regret, that she’d not taken heed to the Master Goldsmiths heartfelt instructions but instead, she’d laid her precious piece of gold out on display and this results in her gold being lost forever.

Thankfully the Master Goldsmith is kind and forgiving but pure gold is not easy to come by. However, regret can lead to redemption and restoration, healing and hope.

This is a Purity Principle story for Mums, Grandmas and Aunty's to give to their pre teen, not just as a keepsake book to treasure, but as a 'conversation starter!'

Thanks for coming on the journey!

* currently as at June 2024 this treasure is in the illustration phase. I am keen to see the professional photography morph into loveable, relateable caricatures by the c reative hands of Jamey Elizabeth, the illustrator of my previous children's book, "The Baby Who Went Straight to Heaven."
