"Special Treasures: 7 Keys to Your Happy Best Self" is more than just a book; it's a labor of love brought to life by Michele Gentile, the talented author, and illustrator, along with the collaborative efforts of Alyson Parilla, a seasoned Special Education teacher with specialized training in mindfulness and breathwork.
Both Michele and Alyson share a deep passion for literature that goes beyond mere words. They believe in the transformative power of storytelling and its ability to uplift individuals while fostering healthy dynamics within homes, classrooms, and communities.
Their journey began with the desire to create something meaningful, something that would not only touch hearts but also serve as a catalyst for positive change. Through "Special Treasures," they aim to facilitate engaging and constructive conversations that resonate with readers and participants alike.
Their commitment extends beyond the pages of the book. Michele and Alyson have built a platform—this website—and offer workshops, both in-person and online, to help people apply the valuable concepts and lessons found in "Special Treasures" to their own lives. They understand that true learning comes from active engagement, and their workshops provide a space for individuals to connect, share, and grow together.
Ultimately, their mission is to empower people to discover their happiest, best selves. Through their collaboration, they hope to inspire a ripple effect of positivity and personal growth that touches lives far and wide. "Special Treasures" is not just a book—it's an invitation to embark on a journey toward self-discovery and a more fulfilling life, with Michele and Alyson as your dedicated guides.
