The purpose of this Journal is to create a safe space and/or opportunity for children/young adults to express themselves without feeling the pressure of society and the worlds criticism. Many children/ young adults are introverts seeking shelter from day-to-day activities, without having to share with the older generation, who may not understand their feelings. A safe haven, for those with a voice, yet not ready to speak."Tell Me The Tea Gratitude Journal" serves as a teaching tool, by providing a new word of the day, expanding vocabulary skills. The journal provides daily affirmations, to instill the grooming of loving themselves, and finally a safe space to express themselves without judgment. This Journal revolves around growth and allows for reflection of growth. The person they are today, to the person they will become years from now; and compare the feelings. Enjoy the journey.Love Heaven

Being an only child can have its ups and downs, especially when you are the last of three. Heaven, the youngest sibling in her family, misses having her older sister and brother around, never realizing she has the best of both worlds-hugs and kisses from mom, cooking with dad, and random visits when her siblings come back to town. Plus, all the rooms belong to her, and the best part, her dog Aubrey, spoils her and never shares her secrets. "I Don't Like Being The Baby", by Heaven B. Smith, highlights the importance of family and serves as a delightful reminder, each person plays a special role in their family. Eventually, everyone much leave the nest, so remember to enjoy your family while you can. Being the baby, really may not be so bad after all.
