I’d Rather Be A Mermaid

Magic should reside in the hearts of all of us whether we are small and little, old and wise, or somewhere boarding the unknown and uncertain middle of life’s ever-changing tides.

I’d Rather Be a Mermaid is a story that makes the connection between being a real and authentic individual who embraces the idea of hopeful humanity through the values of kindness, cooperation, and respect.

Pearl

We don’t always start out as the most precious gem on earth. Time, experience, growth, education, and resilience make us evolve. Even the most insignificant speckle of sand can turn into the most precious and globally adored jewel. Pearl is a reminder of what you are at the center of your sandy core.
