If You’re a Leftie, and You Know It, Clap Your Hands!!
It’s time to celebrate your leftiness!
Today is International Lefthanders Day, so all you folks who don’t quite fit into the righthanded world can celebrate your oddity. (I am one of you!)
I was born left-handed and then trained to be right-handed. Subsequently, I am ambidextrous, which is very fun. I do things with my right hand (handwriting) and some things with my left hand (reaching). When I’m playing sports that require handedness, I start with my right and then go left when I get tired.
Are you a leftie or a rightie?
I’m glad I write with my right hand, which made for an easier schoolday experience. (I say easier because school was always a socially difficult place for me-scholastically, I did well.) I remember seeing lefties trying to use those desks with the half-table attached to the chair, and how difficult it was for them. Or they had to go sit at the weird left-handed desk, which marked them as ‘not normal’ (which is worse than being ignored).
Yes, I am glad I was made to write with my right hand.
Lefties of the world unite! Sonja

Gabriel’s Angels
My dog, Guinness, is a therapy dog. That’s why I write books about him. After he became a certified therapy dog, we became involved in a charity called Gabriel’s Angels.
Gabriel’s Angels strives to use pet therapy to instill compassion, confidence, and best behavior in at-risk children.
We like volunteering with this Arizona-based charity because it is more than ‘pet the dog.’ Gabriel’s Angels includes reading and activities in each visit that help the kids focus on positive traits, such as the three listed above.
Each therapy team must qualify to become a part of Gabriel’s Angels, including age requirements, aptitude tests, and health records.
Guinness the Therapy Dog and I are a therapy team that visits the kids in a group setting. Other teams are a part of reading skills activities.
Guinness and I love visiting!
If you are over the age of 18 and have a dog who would like to be involved in pet therapy, then get training!
I hope to see you ‘out there!’ Sonja
Happy Saturday!
My crazy metal chicken is super excited that it’s the weekend!
How about you?
To celebrate the end of the work week, the ebook of Book 3 of The Fairies of Carlow is now FREE! You can find it on amazon.com. Search for my name (Sonja Danielson) in the search bar on the Amazon homepage, or use the direct link for The Commoner in the left margin of this website.
I announced this FREE ebook promo two days ago on this website and on my Instagram page (@ author_sonja_baker).
The Fairies of Carlow: The Commoner tells the story of Princess Cecilia as she runs away from the castle and loses her memory. While not knowing who she is, or the danger that awaits her and the kingdom, she becomes part of a family–a common family that farms the rich soil of the kingdom of Carlow.
She learns a lot from them, more than she would have from her royal tutors and the professors at Longford Academy.
I hope you enjoy this story! Check out books 1 and 2 to learn more about these amazing fairies and the kingdom in which they live. Sonja
Another Free eBook For You!
The third book of the Fairies of Carlow series will be available for FREE in eBook format, starting August 8, 2020!
Go to Amazon.com and enter my name (Sonja Danielson) in the search box. This will give you all the titles that are available in my book catalog. You can also use the direct links in the left margin of this website to go directly to this title.
This story focuses on one of Carlow’s royal princesses, who is chafing under the restrictions placed on her by the king. He wants to protect his family from the continual marauding of the dreaded Red Caps. They are able to breach the magical border of the kingdom, despite new restrictions on entering or exiting the kingdom. They were first able to enter the kingdom with help from gnome technology.
The gnomes have since made amends and are working to re-establish their friendly relationship with the fairies, but the Red Caps continue to progress the initial technology.
In a fit of pique, she flies from her suite of rooms and punches through the forcefield that protects the palace. She wants only to have a brief respite from all the rules. Unfortunately, she doesn’t see the horse and rider barreling through the rainy night until they are upon her. When she awakens from the accident, she is asleep in a strange cottage with absolutely no idea who she is or why she was out in the weather without cloak, boots, or bonnet. Now, she must learn how to live life as a commoner.
Enjoy the story of Princess Cecilia! Sonja
