‘Tephi's Sacred Journey’ shares message of believing in oneself, reconnecting with earth

‘N.P. Searle’ announces publication of new children’s book

VERNAL, Utah — N.P. Searle’s journeys around the world, encountering a variety of intriguing people, places and circumstances helped lead him to create “Tephi's Sacred Journey: Waking Song” (published by Balboa Press) – the story of a young fairy who discovers a hidden gift she possesses.

 

“(My book) shares an overall story of believe in yourself and you can help others reconnect to the earth,” Searle says. “Everyone has a gift that they can discover, and by paying attention to your surroundings.”

 

“Tephis Sacred Journey” is a story of a young fairy who learns that she is blessed with a unique gift throughout her journey of interacting with and meeting different characters with the help of Dunkelwison, a spirit of the Earth.

 

An excerpt from “Tephi's Sacred Journey”:

Once upon a time in a land not too far from yours lived a fairy named Tephi. … Even though she was not aware of it, Tephi had a very unique gift.

The Huber and White families owe so much to a simple, portable booster seat: the mifold Grab-and-Go. Their stories are amazing and speak for themselves. 

 

Smart, compact, clean and safe, the mifold® the Grab-and-Go Booster is a super-compact car booster seat that folds up and fits into a purse or glove box which is why its safety and effectiveness is so amazing. The Grab and Go Booster works differently than regular booster seats—instead of boosting the child up to meet the belt, it pulls the belt down into perfect position for your child which makes it safer than traditional boosters. Plus, you have the peace of mind of having a booster with you always that you know is safe and portable, installed in seconds and even pops into the dishwasher when it gets grungy. It’s also 10 times smaller than a traditional booster. 

Age range: 4 years+ 

MSRP: $44.99

Kylynne Huber’s Story (short 1:11 minute video): https://vimeo.com/223407635 

Our accident took place on September 30, 2016. I decided to purchase the mifold booster seats because we have four kids in car seats and I loved the idea of having such small seats to be able to fit my older kids in the back with a 5-point harness car seat in the middle of them. I took the brunt of the impact. When I knew I was going to crash, I turned my van to try and take most of the impact over my kids. Thank goodness it worked. I hit the steering wheel with my chest and my entire face, so I've had residual issues from that, as well as whip lash and back issues. My kids had the following:  

  • Alayana Huber (age 8/in mifold booster) she's had some back pain, and neck pain, but nothing more besides a seatbelt abrasion. 

  • Treysen Huber (age 6/in mifold booster) He's had some bruising on his spine, back and neck issues, and seat belt abrasions  

  • Teleiah Huber (age 4/ in 5-point harness car seat) she's had back and neck issues, and seat belt abrasions and bruising. 

  • Khaisen Huber (age 2/ in 5-point harness car seat) he's had back and neck issues, and seat belt bruising and abrasions. 

We all walked away from the wreck without any hospital stays and even used the mifold boosters after the accident to get the kids home as our home was an hour away and they were still safe. I know without a shadow of a doubt that my kids were saved because they were properly placed in car seats and booster seats. I have been wondering how the mifolds would withhold a wreck, and I am now 100% confident in saying they work!! My babies are safe!
