Author, Lynne Harley bikes across Canada with her new book in support of Mental
Health!!
Camrose author, Lynne Harley is biking across Canada to promote her newest book, What If You Could in support of mental health with a substantial goal of $100,000 to be raised and donated to Jack.org, an organization whose testament is to improve youth mental health outcomes in their communities.
Lynne’s
biking journey began from Pike Lake Provincial Park on Father’s Day and it will
ultimately take her through Saskatchewan, Winnipeg Manitoba, Thunder Bay
Ontario, and then completing in Montreal in September. The book, What If You Could is published by
Shadowpaw Press and tour donations are being given to Jack.org through the
following link: http://jack.org/whatifyoucouldtour
Bored with hanging around on a branch, munching
leaves, a little caterpillar has a big dream of a wonderful future of flying
and twirling in the sun and enjoying nectar from beautiful flowers.
But which inner voice should he listen to? The kind
voice that encourages him to believe in his dreams, or the mean one that warns
him against change and tells him to give up on a brighter future?
This little caterpillar’s inspirational story of
transformation is everyone’s story. We all have to decide which inner voice to
listen
And like the little caterpillar, we make a brighter
future for ourselves when we choose to listen to the kind supportive voice
instead of the mean dismissive one.
A portion of all sales will be donated to Jack.org, Canada’s only charity training and empowering young leaders
to revolutionize mental health.
Praise for What If You Could?
“This endearing
children’s story, What If You Could?,
tells the tale of a “thinking” caterpillar who has a dream, and his
metamorphosis into a butterfly. Readers of all ages will relate to the voices
that speak to the caterpillar as he desires more, dreams big, and is getting
ready to leave behind what has been familiar. This book provides parents and
educators with valuable teachings and tools. Learning to listen to, and trust
the internal voice that is kind and loving, our voice of intuition; and the
power of believing and living into one’s dreams. Lynne Harley shares her gifts
in the world as a Transformational Life Coach and Speaker, and now with this
beautifully inspired children’s book, a tale of transformation for all.”

Internationally best-selling author of No Less Than Greatness and Building
Your Field of Dreams, which became a PBS special
“What If You
Could? Is a wonderful book for children, introducing them to the magic
of dreaming big by re-telling, in a very sweet way, the oft-told story of the
caterpillar becoming a butterfly. The youngest among us can learn the oldest of
lessons through this time-honoured tale that can bring new awareness to a new
generation when shared with the easy-to-understand, yet imaginative approach
found here. This is a tale sure to generate questions, and open the door for
every loving parent’s answer, about how the spiritual power of Belief works.
– Neale Donald Walsch, internationally bestselling
author of the book series Conversations With God, spiritual teacher, and
founder of The Re-Creation Foundation.
ABOUT JACK.ORG:
Jack.org is the only charity in Canada that partners with young leaders in every province and territory to improve youth mental health outcomes in their communities. Our reasons are clear:
Suicide remains the leading health-related cause of death for young people, accounting for 25% of youth deaths, and most young people still don’t get the support they need when they’re struggling with their mental health. The pandemic has only exacerbated this emergency, with youth across the country consistently at higher risk of experiencing poor mental health than any other age group.
Our work aims to enhance young
people’s ability to recognize struggle in both themselves and their peers, seek
out appropriate mental health support and resources, and advocate for systems
that are better able to meet the needs of young people. Our goal is to ensure
that every young person in the country gets the help they deserve.
