In 2001, Michele embarked on a transformative journey ignited by a Native American tale that ignited her passion for the idea that we have the power to "create our own reality." Fueled by a deep desire to share this empowering concept with the world, Michele envisioned a beautifully illustrated picture book—one that would not only capture hearts and minds but also remain a constant reminder in people's lives amidst the hustle and bustle of daily routines.
Driven by boundless passion and a determination to bring this vision to life, Michele undertook the daunting task of turning that tiny verse into a tangible book. Over four years of dedicated effort, she painstakingly crafted breathtaking paintings, breathing life into endearing characters and lush landscapes. Along the way, she expanded the original concept to encompass people and places across time, infusing the story with depth and meaning.
Today, Michele Gentile stands as the author and illustrator of the latest iteration of this incredible journey, "Special Treasures: 7 Keys to Your Happy Best Self." Her unique blend of talents, rooted in her background as an occupational therapist trained in mindfulness, wellness coaching, and creative arts/music group facilitation, has made this book a beacon of well-being and self-discovery.
