TogiNet.com interview for Spiritual Parenting

That was a wonderful experience as Kerrilynn Shellman steered a delightful and full interview for http://www.toginet.com/ and the program Spiritual Parenting. We covered everything from One Seed to several new stories, about life after life, and that life is so much more than we see and experience here on planet Earth.
Kerrilynn is certainly like One Seed, fearlessly moving forward with courage and hope. Do check out her web site at
http://www.empoweringfamilies.weebly.com/ for her latest information and blog on all things to do with family and children.
And to listen to the interview visit
http://www.toginet.com/, scroll down Show Directory to Spiritual Parenting and click on July-15-2009, and sit back and enjoy an hour of great discussion, as Kerrilynn put it, like talking with her favourite auntie. (I blush.)

Thank You Aspengrove School


















That was a beatiful day - visiting all the children at Aspengrove School in Lantzville BC last week. "One Seed" was presented to Early Kindergarten, Kindergarten and Grade 1 first. These youngsters ranged in age from four to six and seven. Such a joy. Afterwards I visited with Grades 2-4 to present "One Seed" slightly differently as a means to bringing a story to life - all the while including all the great information about courage, hope, ideas, perseverence.

For information on Aspengrove School visit http://www.aspengroveschool.ca/.
Local SHAW TV was also on hand to film the presentations for inclusion on their local show The Daily. I'm looking forward to seeing the outcome, as Melissa took films of the children taking part in the presentations as readers, sound effects department, and in the singing of the song. She even interviewed one of the teachers. I hope I can eventually get a copy so that others can see it.

Thank you Aspengrove School. May you have a wonderful summer and may all your sunflower seeds grow strong and tall with beautiful sunny flowers and seeds for you.

As one teacher said to me after the presentation as she shook my hand in gratitude, "That story has so many levels." I couldn't help but agree.

Thank you
from One Seed and Rosemary

One Seed Visits Ontario






Hi Folks,

One Seed visited a few schools in Ontario in the Upper Canada region around Earth Day. What fun it was to see all the children and share the story and song.

I went to Lansdowne, Mallorytown, Athens, Portland and Gananoque, all areas that I knew when I was a teenager and growing up.

Everywhere One Seed went the children sang and had lots of interesting questions, about the story and about how it came to be.

Here are a few pictures.
I hope you are planting your seeds for spring and to grow some flowers and food this summer.

Sending you all big One Seed smiles,

Rosemary

One Seed to go across Canada


Hi Folks,
I am taking a trip across Canada in April and One Seed is coming along with me, along with a frog called Oliver Green, a critter named Sally and a unicorn named Sarina. I hope these characters will become part of a series of stories that I will be able to share with children in years to come. Meanwhile, as I make my journey across the country they will be with me and take in the sights and sounds along the way. I'll be taking pictures of course.
I hope to be visiting a few schools along the way too, to present the One Seed story and song. Maybe I'll see you?!
Cheers
Rosemary

I'm so excited!

After research and wondering how in the world to make the Book and Song "One Seed" available on the Internet I have finally found a way!

So now, if you go to:
www.oneseedstory.com
you will see the links for being able to download the book as a PDF file that you can save and print out, and the CD with the Read-along, Sing-along story and song, as MP3s that you can listen to on your Ipod and computer.

I have made them as inexpensive as possible.
So the book alone is $5 US, the CD alone is $2 US, and the two together are $6 US. You will have to have your mothers and fathers help you out here. Finally I can say that children around the world can now read the English version.

It was quite a challenge changing the book from its original form to a PDF that can be put on the computer. But I am so glad that it is now done.

So I hope you all enjoy this, especially in the northern hemisphere of our planet as people start to think about seeds and spring and planting.

Enjoy.
In Hope for peace and happiness for all

One Seed Translated

Great news!
One Seed has now been translated into Arabic. I will know in about a month if it will be accepted for publication.
It seems only right that a story about a seed growing on the desert should be in the language of the region that it came from - Persia and the Middle East. It was a Bedouin who gave me the story in a meditation. For this I will always be grateful.

So watch here for news on this recent development.

Also, I hope to get One Seed on the Internet as a download from my web site. This will make it much more accessible for people around the world.

Meanwhile, keep on sowing seeds.
In peace
Rosemary
