You Weren't Meant to be a Snail: A DIY Book About Self-Esteem
There are at least as many reasons for losing your self-esteem, self-confidence, and personal image as there are people in the world. In this book, I explain the top 8 reasons you might feel less than you think you deserve. You and I will confront each one and work through the pain so it no longer hurts you. You were not meant to live in the self-imposed social exile so common today. You were meant to stand tall and walk proud. You’re not stuck. You’re one choice away from change. Along the way, through an allegory, you'll see that faith isn’t a bandage. It’s the way out. You were never meant to be a snail; you are royalty.
What do others say about Traveler’s non-fiction books? I’m glad you asked!
“This was the perfect read for those who enjoy faith-based devotional work and self-help/self-care. The author made sure to craft a short yet powerful read that was able to tap into the emotions and thought processes of those who read the book and built a strong foundation for those who seek to learn more about this subject to grow and learn to impart these practices and verses into their own lives.”
“This is the most prudent devotional with profound perspectives; interesting, informative, beautifully written! The Best!”
“Some days I would read one story and other days, several. It stayed with me with encouragement, humor, and lessons learned. A great read.”
“Loved the book. Very well laid out and insightful. Plan to reread it several times, going deeper into my study.”
This book is so well written. Divided into short chapters labeled “days,” it’s easy to read and ponder. I highlighted many passages and made notes to revisit later.
If you or someone you care about is struggling right now, this book is a thoughtful gift that offers a way forward.

About the author

J. Traveler Pelton was born in West Virginia in the last century. She lives on a small farm with her husband, 7 alpaca, chickens, 5 Pomeranians, 14 canaries and tolerates T-Bears Siamese cats and irascible parrot Giz. She loves to find out what all her friends are studying. She is the mother of six adults, a grandmother of eight, a great-grandma of 1, a Clinically Licensed Independent Social worker, a retired adjunct professor of social work at her local university and an avid reader. She studies science, technology, Biblical studies, and human behavior. She is quick to draw parallels between different fields of thought and weave the ideas into a cohesive ideology that is at once practical, usable, and thoughtful. Her books are the result of blending her life experiences with bureaucracy, studying science and nature, counseling, and faith. She greatly enjoys the intersection of fantasy and possibility and hopes you enjoy it as well. We will see you on the other side of the imagination tree.
Her co-author of the Clan Falconer fantasy series is her grandson T-Bear. T Bear Pelton is a self-proclaimed gamer, a Christian active in his home church, a Native American, a storyteller, and a novice blacksmith. He lives with his grandparents, his Amazon parrot, and four Siamese on a small alpaca farm while working full time and dreaming of times when magic still existed. Enjoy this fantasy with him and for just a little while, suspend daily life for a dream of dragons and wizards, beautiful ladies and knights, magic and faith. Travel then with us to another time, another place, and another dimension. Come to the future, after the Great War, when tech and magic combine with faith and fear.
Their farm, Springhaven Croft, is home to alpacas, dogs, Siamese cats, canaries, an eclectic group of chickens and an irascible Amazon Parrot named Gizmo.
