Book of the Month
A Mystical Dream Ride
by Dr. Kerlynn Christophe
Take an imaginative trip to a journey of make-believe, where creativity, mystery, exploration, and adventure, along with a touch of magic lead to endless discoveries.

We are celebrating all the people and parents who intentionally raise their children to have respect and regard for people no matter their skin color. Parents have the opportunity and responsibility to teach young people to value themselves and one another, as well as stand up for what they believe in. It's a time for self reflection. Look at yourself and analyze what biases and prejudices you carry and find ways to educate yourself and be better. We must seek ways to indoctrinate LOVE! Together we are better!
The ‘One Race’ t-shirt was created to promote peace, inclusivity, and equality during this time of such division. Changes need to be made in this country and in our world. We all bleed the same color & are all a part of one race — the human race. Let’s work together and continue fighting.
A special thanks to all who supported us in this effort.

We will also be offering surprise give-aways. The retreat will be Friday- Sunday. We look forward to seeing you there. More information coming soon.
