Linda Ann Smith

Linda raised her son Andrew with the Power of Rituals, creating a new meaning for the word "ritual". Andrew lost his life in a car crash when he was fifteen. The memories of the rituals helped Linda to step back into life and write a book to share the positive outcomes of creating memorable moments with family and friends through the power of rituals. Linda writes and speaks about how to connect, cultivate and celebrate the relationships of your life; family, friends, co-workers, community. "The more you praise and celebrate your life, the more there is to life to celebrate." (Oprah Winfrey).

The foundation of Linda's rituals are the stories. It gives people an opportunity to share their story and for others to learn from them. The power of the story is how we learn, how we support each other, how we know we are not alone in our joys and heartaches. Extraordinary relationships make our world rich, purposeful and meaningful.

From shoe-shopping to story-telling to spa wedding showers; Linda helps the reader turn ordinary events and occasions into extra ordinary memorable experiences.
