Where art, story, and awakening meet..
About the Book
Some stories don't get written. They arrive. Grizzly's Birthday Miracle is a gentle, luminous children's book about a big, beautiful dog named Grizzly and one morning that changes everything. Perfect for ages 4–8 and beyond, it's a story about love, friendship, and the quiet miracle of simply being seen. Illustrated by award-winning Canadian animation artist Jason Doll, every page is warm, alive, and made to be lingered over.This is a book for children. And for everyone who still remembers how to feel like one.
The Story Behind The story
This book was born on a hiking trail. My friend Chad told me about the moment his dog Grizzly touched noses with a deer in the woods. He described it so vividly I felt it land somewhere deep inside me. I had had my own story about a deer, a spiritual experience that had quietly changed me. Animals have always been a doorway for me, but deer especially, and geese. They show up when something true is happening. When Chad told me that story, the book came to me instantly. Not as work. As a gift. I had always wanted to write a children's book. But I didn't know it would arrive this way; through a friend, a dog, a deer, and years of my own inner journey. Grizzly in this story is me. The nudge, the paw in the air, the miracle — that's all of us, really. Showing up. Being seen. Being loved anyway. That's what I hope children, and their
grown-ups, feel when they read it.

Meditation and Groups
creativity and stillness come from the same place. Leslie teaches meditation and leads small, intimate groups for people who are ready to slow down, go inward, and reconnect with their own inner life. If that calls to you, she'd love to hear from you.
Shipping Policy
A legal disclaimer
The explanations and information provided on this page are only general and high-level explanations and information on how to write your own document of a Shipping Policy. You should not rely on this article as legal advice or as recommendations regarding what you should actually do, because we cannot know in advance what are the specific shipping policies that you wish to establish between your business and your customers. We recommend that you seek legal advice to help you understand and to assist you in the creation of your own Shipping Policy.
Shipping Policy - the basics
Having said that, a Shipping Policy is a legally binding document that is meant to establish the legal relations between you and your customers. It is the legal framework for presenting your obligations to your customers, but also to address different possible scenarios that may occur, and what happens in each and every case.
A Shipping Policy is a good practice and it helps both sides - you and your customers. Your customers may benefit from being informed about what they can expect from your service. You may benefit because people may be likely to shop with you if you have a clear Shipping Policy in place since there won't be any questions about your shipping timeframes or processes.
What to include in the Shipping Policy
Generally speaking, a Shipping Policy often addresses these types of issues: the timeframe for processing orders; the shipping costs; different domestic and international shipping solutions; potential service interruptions; and much, much more.
