DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Struggles to Snuggles is a collection of 24 real-life stories submitted by people who have worked with Lotus Seed Life over the years. It is a series of feel-good stories about real people who have overcome life's obstacles and found peace in their own journey. It is intended that the reader should come away with a sense of well being and a knowing that if these other people can do it, there is hope for everyone. Readers will meet people who have overcome deaths in the family, assaults, financial catastrophe, business challenges, blindness, divorces, infidelity, abuse, severely dysfunctional families, and more. This is a sample of the many obstacles we all face. The common theme is that these moments don't have to define us. We can all move beyond what has happened in the past. We all have the potential to let the challenges shape our lives or to learn from the challenges and move on. Each of us lives in a world with infinite potential for evil and infinite potential for good. Everything imaginable is right under our noses. These are stories of people who have looked life right in the eyes and said -come at me!- Most importantly, this is about people who have found their voices and personal power within their own lives. They don't live at the whim of the world but, instead, see the world for what it is and find ways to find happiness and fulfillment no matter their circumstances. Each one of them explains how they accomplished what they did and how the Lotus Seed Life helped them get where they are today. Their words of praise are sincere and their own in hopes that they can inspire others to experience what they have.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →In this candid, insightful, and unconventional memoir, Goldie Hawn invites us to join her in an inspirational look back at the people, places, and events that have touched her. It is the spiritual journey of a heart in search of enlightenment. With her trademark effervescence, Goldie delivers a personal look at private and powerful events that carried her through life: her father’s spontaneity; her mother’s courage; and the joy of being a daughter, a sister, a parent, and a lover. She writes about her childhood dreams of becoming a ballerina. She takes us on a tour of her go-go years in 1960s New York City, the phenomenon of TV’s Rowan & Martin’s Laugh-In, her Oscar-winning debut in Cactus Flower and Hollywood stardom. She writes intimately about the challenges of love, anger and fear, and the importance of compassion and integrity. She speaks openly about her family, her partner Kurt Russell, her children; her faith, her curiosity for that which she doesn’t yet know, and her thirst for knowledge. Most of all, it is a trip back through a life well lived by a woman well loved.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →To author Stephie Morton, nature's powerful forces are a metaphor for the hardships faced by displaced children. Kids, like seeds, thrive when given a chance. Each of the three seeds in this story—a cherry seed in the Middle East, an acacia seed in Australia, and a lotus seed in Asia—survives a difficult journey through flood, fire, or drought, then sprouts (in the case of the lotus seed, a hundred years later) and flourishes. Stephie's verses and Nicole Wong's art make a picture book to treasure.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Yellow Lotus Flower is a children's sing-a-long book for the soul. The story is told by the lotus herself, reminiscing on a time when she was a scared little seed, stuck in the murky depths of the pond, unsure of herself and if life would ever be different. Luckily, she encounters guides along the way, like the benevolent sun and a wise golden fish who proclaims, "there's light at the top, you've got to believe me! So grow up and up and send your roots down deep". The lotus flower lives a parallel and intertwined life with a grieving young girl. Through fear and uncertainty, they have to muster their own courage to send their roots down into the muck in order to transform into the beautiful flower and human they are meant to be. As Yellow Lotus Flower sings her song, she is joined by a symphony at the pond: a frog on guitar, singing dragonflies, turtles on drums and piano-playing newts. To conclude the epic song of her life, Yellow Lotus encourages the next generation of seeds to have faith that they too will find their way through the muck and bloom. Yellow Lotus Flower follows the simple life cycle of a flower, yet carries a deep personal and cultural message about transformation and finding our way through dark times. Author, scholar and elder, Joanna Macy, praises it as "a story for our times". Yellow Lotus Flower draws wisdom directly from the natural world and is also inspired by Buddhist teachings, offering a beacon of hope for children and parents grappling with life's inevitable challenges and transitions. "Yellow Lotus Flower, like the sun, you rise up from the darkness When tears come, your heart grows stronger, like the sun we rise up from the darkness" Yellow Lotus Flower offers an innovative multi-media experience, in which children and parents can sing along to the words of the book by downloading or streaming the Yellow Lotus Flower song, or scanning a QR code in the book. Children and parents can also find guitar chords in the back of the back, and learn how to play the song!
