Mona Giraud - Author, Artist & Nurse

You are God's treasure, his love for you has no measure. Decide to love yourself today in a new way.

About Me


Raised up in a land of mystery and magic, I left my home land Alexandria, Egypt to come New York at the age of eight with my family. I wrote my first book at the age of eight and moved to Florida several years later. During my youth I dreamt of being a writer and an artist in every sense of the word. Today I'm a 29 year old nurse, hypnotist, artist and an author for children's books as well as an author for adults. My specialty in writing is to bring healing, understanding and compassion to all children who live in today's extra challenging world. My Children's Book is called "The Imaginative Adventures of Archer Gooseberry, Silver: The Heroic Elephant." I am currently publishing a poetic and spiritual book with my original paintings inside for adult readers. It will be out this year. I'm also a former beauty queen contestant who competed in 2003 Mrs. Globe pageant and represented my country Egypt(Mother of the World). I was crowned Mrs. Congeniality and awarded Making a Difference Award. To check more info about me and what I do, go to:

There are several things that I would like to mention to anyone and everyone out there who is reading this. First, establish a relationship with your source;God. Without this connection it's hard to know who you are and where you will be going in life.Love yourself and others to the best of your ablity.We don't have much time on this earth that we call our temporary home. Forgive those who have caused you pain. You are doing it more for yourself then for them. You are releasing Toxic emotions from your heart and body.They did not know any better otherwise they would of acted differently and even if they did know better, forgive them anyway.Don't dislike them because they are in a search for their truth. Second, don't ever give up on your dreams that God put within you. You are here for a divine purpose for this time era on earth.You and I must try to be true to ourselves and the search for our truth.Third,no matter who you are and no matter what you have done, the love of God is real and eternal.God can never love you less no matter what you do on this earth. However, there are consequences to our actions and sometimes we reap what we sow. That is not God's doing but our own.Finally, we are all here to learn and grow and experience a new outlook on life.God knows that we will make mistakes over and over again.We need to forgive ourselves for those mistakes and try to learn from them so that we could evolve to becoming more spiritually mature beings rather than not.In that time of falling and getting back up again, we need to love ourselves and others, it is in these acts that we become connected to ourselves and others, but also our source;God."May the love of God keep you and shield you from all the pains of this world, my dear. May God's holy angels surround you in all the paths that you decide to take guiding you with wisdom, courage,strength and love. Amen" Go in peace and love.The Imaginative Adventures of Archer Gooseberry. Silver: The Heroic Elephant, is available at Barnes& Noble.com and also on my website MonaGiraud.com
