Dorothy Lecours: A Law of Attraction Book for Children

FASCINATING AUTHORS: What excites you most about your book’s topic? Why did you choose it?

Author: The Law of Attraction is a vital process to master in order to create a positive reality. My intention was to touch each child’s heart so they would always believe in the creative power of their words. Current research has shown that 60% of what we say on a daily basis is in the form of negative criticism. As a result, self-confidence is sabotaged and only 10% of potential is reached.  Positive words hold a very high vibration so I knew I had to find a way to expose my readers to the beauty of words.
