I was gifted a signed book by my sister, who said it was a must read. I originally at down one night after tucking the kids to bed thinking I would read it cover to cover. I was not prepared for the heart to heart conversations that would take place between the author and myself as I read each page. A night turned into two days, which turned into four. My mind kept drifting off into lengthy conversations that my heart had needed to have for some time now. I’ve been on a healing journey for four years now. I’ve been in weekly therapy sessions, group chats and support groups online. I can firmly say that those conversations did not ignite the same response I experienced while reading this book. I have read and re-read chapters and sections since first picking it up. I made a pinky promise with someone I’ve never met. This book healed parts of my heart and soul that I didn’t even know needed mending. I absolutely recommend this book to everyone.

I recently had the pleasure of reading Michelle Nelson-Schmidt's new book, "Life is as MAGICAL as you Make it," and I must say that it was an incredibly moving and thought-provoking experience. This book has the power to touch your heart and leave a lasting impact.

Michelle's words are nothing short of beautiful. Her storytelling is captivating, drawing the reader into a world where magic and wisdom coexist. The central message of the book, that "Life is about loving yourself...you are enough...that you matter just because you exist," is both timeless and universal. I was particularly touched by her insights, such as "Thoughts can inspire" and "When you start to quiet your brain and listen to the whispers in your heart, incredible magical things begin happening in your life."

In a world often filled with self-doubt and external pressures, this reminder that joy doesn't need to be earned is incredibly valuable. Michelle's messages of self-worth and the pursuit of happiness are ones that everyone can benefit from hearing. She sought out to remind all of us - young and old - of our intrinsic worth. It's a beautiful reminder that we are all enough, and that life's magic is there for us to embrace. I'm grateful she wrote it and grateful to have had the opportunity to read it ... and now I'll gift it to others to benefit from as well.

Michelle's pet portraits perfectly capture the essence and spirit of your pet! She makes sure you are 100% happy every step of the process, allows for modifications if needed, and delivers a magical product!

I cannot wait to receive my original MNS artwork of my puppy, BoBo! Communication has been great with Michelle. She is working to create a special piece for me that we will enjoy forever! I will post again once I receive it! <3

A fabulous incite and powerful reflection…could not stop turning pages

Such a great book! Highly recommend

A wonderfully real exposure to another's experience. I was able to relate to so many experiences Michelle shared and offered so much hope. I left this book feeling a sense of confidence and drive to believe in myself and my goals, dreams.

My husband and I love our morning coffee in these sturdy, magical mugs. Great gifts for family, friends and couples-workers!

We love the What If Monster story and this plush is just adorable! I love that he has a smile on his face and how soft he is.

Read this in 2 quick sittings on a plane. Very inspiring and I loved the synopsis of her different children's books and how they can even relate to adults! Just the positive pep talk we all need at times!! Must read!

I am loving this book. I haven't finished it yet just a couple chapters left. Excited to finish it.

Highly recommend this book! The conversational style makes it different than others. It’s a light easy read and love the message

An inspirational memoir you won't be able to put down. Get this book, I promise you won't regret it. It's like getting a hug from a book! 🌈

Had the previously published editions of JJ and Cordelia but I'm excited to have the updated editions AND finally add Bob to my collection.

I love having an original MNS artwork. And I love birds too!
