Creating the Book
Meet the Author
Julie McPeek lives in Ohio with her gentle giant of a husband, her daughter, who is essentially sunshine compressed into human form, and her son, with a heart so kind it gives Mother Teresa some steep competition. They share their home with a very happy Mastiff that always manages to look morbidly depressed, a Pomhuahua (Pomeranian-Chihuahua) that oinks like a pig, two snakes, and a bearded dragon.
Julie is a public speaker who also teaches workshops based on the principles in Love Your Light. You can also find her at the Overflowing Woman blog; it gives women permission to dream and the tools to achieve those dreams!

Meet the Illustrator
The illustrations of Eric were created by Tim Hull, a massage therapist and physical therapy assistant from in Bellville, Ohio. His sons are the Light in his life, and he used their antics to gain inspiration for his drawings. He enjoys art and graphic design and has an entire menagerie of animals, including a pet llama who thinks it's a human!
Meet the Photographer
Brian McPeek (Julie's husband's cousin) lives in Zanesville, Ohio with his wife, twin sons, and two daughters. He is a professional photographer, and he also owns McPeek Land Surveying.
Brian is so busy that he says it is hard for him to find time to brush his teeth! Fortunately, for everyone around him - but especially his wife - he manages to maintain sparkling fresh breath!
