Home Is Where the Heart Is
An ABC Baseball Book

 

Home Is Where the Heart Is

Inspired by Real People. Real Memories. Real Baseball.

Home Is Where the Heart Is is an ABC baseball book for every child discovering the game—and for every adult who remembers the people who taught them to love it.

Each letter celebrates the moments that make baseball unforgettable: teammates laughing in the dugout, parents cheering from the stands, coaches sharing life lessons, team moms keeping everyone fed, and the traditions that bring families together season after season.

Written for a new grandchild and inspired by real experiences, this beautifully illustrated book honors the parents, grandparents, coaches, friends, and loved ones who shape our lives both on and off the field.

As children learn their ABCs, adults will find themselves smiling, reminiscing, and sharing stories of their own. Because Home Is Where the Heart Is is about more than baseball.

It's about family.

It's about legacy.

It's about the people who make us feel at home.

Perfect for: Baseball families, grandparents, parents, coaches, teachers, and young fans.

🛒 The emotional triggers that show up when shopping alone
💡 How to boost energy when you're running on empty
🚫 What to avoid to help your body—and your heart—heal
🥦 Tips to make nourishing meals for one feel like self-care, not a chore

Join us as Christine Olson from TIFF shares her heartfelt journey.

 

After facing the reality of her daughter being in a tragic accident, she transformed her pain into a powerful mission. Through her unwavering commitment, Christine has helped countless individuals avoid similar heartaches. Don’t miss this opportunity to hear her story and learn how one person can inspire significant change.

TIFF was created to strengthen the communication channels between emergency responders and families by adding emergency contact information to driver's licenses and state-issued IDs.

 

To Inform Families First is a groundbreaking initiative designed to save lives by ensuring first responders can access emergency contact information directly from a person's driver's license or state ID. By embedding emergency contacts into DMV records, TIFF drastically reduces the time it takes for families to be notified during critical emergencies.

EVENT

Dr. Diane Stewart

Grief doesn’t just live in our hearts. It settles into our bodies—our backs, our necks, our jaws, our gut. It becomes pain we can’t explain. Fatigue we can’t shake. And for many of us, healing emotionally must include healing physically.

That’s why I invited Dr. Diane Stewart to speak at "A Journey From grief Toward Joy." She is not your average chiropractor. Dr. Diane takes a deeply holistic approach—blending bodywork, energy work, and intuition to help release the emotional trauma that gets stored in our muscles and tissues.

Her presence is calm, grounded, and real. And when you hear her speak, you realize just how powerful the body’s role in grief recovery really is.

In this short video, I share why her voice, her wisdom, and her methods are such a vital part of this weekend. You don’t have to carry it all.

Grief is heavy. It’s disorienting. It’s lonely. And when someone you love dies, people expect you to "move on" long before you're ready. That’s why I created this event. And that’s exactly why I invited Rosemary Altea to be a part of it.

Rosemary is more than a spiritual medium. She’s someone who understands that grief doesn’t follow a calendar. She has spent decades helping people connect with loved ones who have passed—and her work is rooted in evidence, compassion, and integrity. She doesn’t tell you what to believe. She shows you that death is not the end. And that knowing—really knowing—can open the door to real, lasting healing.

In this short video, I share the deeply personal reasons why Rosemary is part of this event. If you’ve lost someone you love, if you’re tired of pretending you’re okay, or if you’re simply looking for hope—please take a few minutes and watch.

Your healing matters. Click the video below.

Dr. Jack Giddens

I knew I needed someone who could walk that sacred line between science and spirit. Someone grounded enough to speak to the realities of grief, but open enough to help us reach beyond it. That’s exactly who Dr. Jack Giddens is.

Jack is a hospital chaplain, a man of deep compassion and clinical understanding. He holds a doctorate and blends research, spirituality, and lived wisdom in a way that makes people feel seen—and safe. He doesn’t give sermons. He creates space for healing. He’s the rare kind of person who can sit with your sorrow and still hold out hope.

He’s also an author, and when you hear him speak, you’ll understand why his words carry such weight. I invited Jack to speak at “A Journey From Grief Toward Healing” because he reminds us: even in loss, we are not lost.

John Ferrari Jr., Esq.

Death literacy is the practical know-how around death, dying, and bereavement—how to navigate care systems, make informed decisions, and support ourselves and others when facing loss.

Even after we’ve lost someone dear, death literacy remains vital. Grief doesn’t stop legal, medical, or logistical realities: understanding them can ease future decisions, reduce stress for your loved ones, and deepen your healing.

Why did I invite John Ferrari Jr., Esq. to speak at this event?
Because grief doesn’t stop the paperwork.

When we lose someone we love, we’re thrown into an emotional storm—but the legal system doesn’t pause for our pain. Wills. Trusts. Power of attorney. Probate. Health care directives. All of it matters. And most of us don’t even know where to begin.

John Ferrari Jr. is a trusted estate attorney who explains the legal stuff in a way that’s clear, kind, and actually helpful. No jargon. No pressure. Just real information you can use—whether you’re planning for yourself or managing someone else’s estate.

He’ll walk us through the essential documents every adult should have (especially after loss), and how to avoid common mistakes that make grief even harder.

➡️ You’ll walk away empowered. Prepared. And finally, clear.
