Happily Ever After...

Happily Ever After...

Once upon a time there was a teacher. A teacher who loved her job and loved the children in her care. A teacher who loved sharing words, books and stories with her class. A teacher who was passionate about the importance of reading and writing. Unfortunately the teacher lived in a land where stress, illness and anxiety were taking hold of many teachers and they took hold of her. While she lay at home feeling sad, tired, deflated and ill three things happened which changed her story.

She heard about a writing competition and decided to enter. She'd always used writing to heal and it didn't let her down this time either.

She went to a weekend event organised by her Union in the Lake District and heard Taffy Thomas the first Storytelling Laureate in action. She knew that's what she wanted to do!

She won the writing competition and decided to become an author.

These three things led to a new life; a life that celebrated all the things she valued and it allowed her to flourish. Through this new life she runs Little Lamb Tales (storytelling) and has written fourteen books under her own name Jude Lennon.  

These businesses allow her to

·        Prize health and happiness above all else.

·        Share the power of stories with children and adults.

·        Encourage a love of books, words and stories in others.

·        Inspire children and adults to explore their creativity.

·        Raise awareness about issues that are important such as Road Safety, Mindfulness for children and Autism Awareness.

·        Provide a positive role model for children and give them aspirations.

·        Share the rich and diverse stories from cultures around the world.

·        FLOURISH!

I was a teacher who loved writing and now I'm an Author who loves storytelling. And I live happily ever after! Find out more at www.littlelambpublishing.co.uk

Hi Jude I am interested to know if the competition still exists as I have written two stories that I wish to publish. I used writing in the same way and it’s helped me heal and flourish too xxx
