Story time event at Bootyland 2010

What a wonderful Om Baby story time event we had at Bootyland! It truly was a magical day as the store owners daughters LOVE Om Baby! Right before I began the reading Ellies oldest daughter said to me very matter of fact that Om Baby was her little sisters favorite book and she read it to her everyday and that she had become somewhat of an expert at reading Om Baby. She explained that she even had some of it memorized and she offered to do the story time event.

Why not, I thought to myself and I agreed. I must admit my inner Om Baby was delighted to be read to. All of the kids were mesmerized by this cute young girl reading Om Baby and were completely focused and listening to the story! She was soooo completely fantastic I asked her if she would like to be in an Om Baby video! Her mother Ellie delightfully agreed and we all got to together a few weeks later and did another Om Baby story time event but this time we filmed it! So this is my next project...editing together an Om Baby story time event video! I did go to film school after all so I might as well put those skills to use. However it might take a little time as we are in the process of moving, will be traveling overseas for the holidays, I will be attending a week long writers workshop, but as soon as I can there will be an Om Baby video for all to see!!!!!
BIG THANK YOU to Ellie, Raven, Cedar, Twilight, and all of their sweet friends that participated in the Om Baby story time event.

Blessed be,
Schamet

Om Baby update!

Wow! What a journey all of this self publishing has been so far! I am definitely on my path doing exactly what I am meant to. I love it when everything just keeps coming together as if magic was guiding the way and divinity is lighting the way! I have been interviewed on radio three times and that was super awesome!I have done many book signing events and story time events. I love working with children. They LOVE OM Baby! My soul is happy. I have even done a few speaking engagements. I love sharing my Om Baby story and inspiring others to make their dreams come true. I have really enjoyed being on radio and am looking forward to being on TV. The truth is I get really nervous about the idea of it and then when I am on and am being asked about Om Baby....I am just so passionate about what I am doing that I love sharing the message. My story comes from my heart and I love delivering this message! When I am downloading the information my ego goes away and I am a channel of inspiration which feels healing to me and to others.
So, yes if you are reading this and you want me to be on your radio or TV show, or you want me to do story time....Contact me because the answer will most likely be yes!

On another note Om Baby has been reviewed for national distribution and that is in the works! Yippee!!! I have a few wholesalers...New Leaf and Partners West. I was getting exhausted doing all the distribution myself. So it will be nice to have help getting Om Baby out there to the world!

And the most exciting news of all is I am almost finished writing my next three Om Baby books in the series and in fact the next books text is finished! A little excerpt from the book which also introduces the clothing line:

"Om Baby's home Planet Om is a planet of peace where Om Beings respect each other and hug the trees."

This next book is Om baby's adventure story of where he is from and the Om Baby back story with an interesting twist!
Planet Om is also the private clothing label in which features my Om Baby designs!

I have been just a little bit busy!!!!

Love and more to come....Schamet

The reasons Schamet chose to self publish Om Baby, Child of the Universe...

Schamet made the choice to self publish for several reasons. The most important reason is that she was able to control the outcome of her product. She had a vision that Om Baby had to be printed using soy inks, recycled paper, and that a tree should be planted for each book sold. Schamet also decided that she would not cut costs by having her books made or printed in China for political reasons. If she had been published she would not be able to make those decisions. Another reason Schamet decided to self publish was the amazing learning curve that it provided as Schamet loves a good challenge! And the best part of all it has inspired others to also make their dreams come true. Which is what Om Baby is about. You don't necessarily always have to follow "the rules" in order to do what you want to do. You don't have to "fit into" a square hole if you are a round peg.

Be who you want to be and do what you love! Schamet believes that dreams do come true and you don't need someone else to make them come true for you. You just have to believe in you and get out there and do it! BE who you want to be and do something that matters. YOU can make your dreams come true!

On that note.....
Om Baby signed a petition to stop the destruction of rain forests and so can you!

Every time you buy a "cheap book" ask yourself....
Is it "cheap" or is it "deceptively expensive" in the long run.
Please take the time to be informed...Please read/sign this petition from Rain Forest Action Network.


New Report Finds Top Children’s Book Publishers Using Paper Linked to Rainforest Destruction

Om Baby book release was Earth day 2010!

Wow!!!! I am really on my path and doing what I am meant to do! It feels great! I have had four book signings so far and each and every one has been completely amazing. I love being surrounded by small children inquiring about Om Baby, asking questions, and completely absorbing every single thing I say! The kids especially LOVE Om Baby! My story time/book signing events have been at Kids Quest, Seattle Holistic Center, Leap for Green (an Earth Day event on Mercer Island), and Soulfoods Books in Redmond.
On Earth Day we ended the story time event with some yoga and we said a blessing for the Earth, for family, and community. My Om Baby events have become more than just a book...it is my path of healing, and bringing a message to the future ambassadors of peace, caretakers/stewards of planet earth, and leaders of the next generation.

I can make a difference on this planet and I AM, in my Om Baby Mama kind of way!

I am now working on editing the footage as the events were taped and I will post a U-Tube video. This will take some time as its been a very long time since I have done any film related work.
Om Baby, Child of the Universe has been very well received and in fact everyone who reviews it loves it and then buys it! Fantastic!
I LOVE being a mom, LOVE being a children's book author, and LOVE sharing my story with children and their family. How absolutely wonderful my life is! I feel very blessed. I seriously want to go on a book tour! Hmmmmmm...must also look into how that will manifest....
