The EVIE- C’est La Vie NOLA Children’s Collection

The EVIE Children’s Collection was created with one simple mission:

To help children grow into confident, kind, emotionally aware human beings.

Named in honor of Mawmaw  Evie — a name that represents love,kindness, family, and the wisdom passed down through generations — this collection is designed to support children and the families guiding them through the little lessons in life.

Each book in the EVIE Collection gently introduces important life lessons that help children understand their feelings, communicate openly, and build strong character.

At the heart of the collection is the belief that emotional intelligence can be nurtured early through meaningful conversations, stories, and shared moments between children and caregivers.

EVIE stands for:

Education
Values
Inspiration
Emotional Intelligence

Together, these ideas help children develop the tools they need to navigate life with confidence, kindness, and self-awareness.

A Collection for Families

The EVIE Collection is more than a set of children's books.

It is an invitation for families to slow down, connect, and grow together.

Through storytelling, reflection, and meaningful conversations, these resources help children build emotional intelligence while strengthening the bond between parents, caregivers, and kids.

Because when children feel seen, heard, and supported, they grow into the kind of people who make the world a better place.

And sometimes the most important lessons begin with a simple conversation.

C’est La Vie NOLA was created as a space for honest reflection, healing, and growth.

Not the polished version of life.

The real one.

The kind where we learn from the past, try to stay grounded in the present, and move forward with faith toward whatever comes next.

For many years, life brought its share of difficult seasons — grief, loss, heartbreak, anxiety, failure, and moments where everything felt uncertain. During those times, I found myself returning to the same practice over and over again: writing, reflecting, praying, and learning from the experiences life placed in front of me.

Over time, those personal reflections began to shape a simple but powerful philosophy.

Healing honestly.

Not pretending everything is fine.
Not rushing the process.
Just taking the time to reflect, learn, grow, and rebuild peace one honest step at a time.

What started as personal journaling eventually became something I wanted to share with others. Many of the devotionals, reflection guides, and resources you’ll find here were born from years of personal reflection and life lessons.

They are designed to offer gentle guidance for anyone navigating their own season of growth.

Inside C’est La Vie NOLA you’ll find:

• devotionals for reflection and faith
• guides for finding calm during overwhelming moments
• journaling prompts for personal growth
• tools for reconnecting with peace and purpose

These resources are meant to be simple, thoughtful, and easy to return to whenever you need a moment to pause and reflect.

Because healing doesn’t always happen in big dramatic moments.

More often it happens quietly.

Through a deep breath.
An honest realization.
A small shift in perspective.

If you’re here, chances are you’re already doing that work.

And that matters.

Welcome to C’est La Vie NOLA — a space for reflection, healing, and growth.
