Christine Lawson Announces Two New Books to Empower Kids
Two new children’s stories use farm animals to explore disability, courage, friendship, jealousy, and making good choices.
Washington DC, District of Columbia, United States, 14th Sep 2026 – Author Christine Lawson introduces readers to a new farmyard adventure with Tom Turkey Learns the Importance of Friends, a children’s book that explores friendship, jealousy, pride, and the choices we make when we feel left out. The book is now available on Amazon and brings young readers into a barnyard filled with colorful animals, changing friendships, and an important lesson.
Tom Turkey enjoys being noticed. He loves displaying his beautiful feathers and showing the hen turkeys his best dance moves. For Tom, being admired feels important. That changes when Ted Turkey arrives and quickly becomes part of the barnyard.
Instead of seeing Ted as a possible friend, Tom sees him as competition. His jealousy begins to affect his behavior and leads him into a situation that could have serious consequences.
When Jealousy Gets in the Way
Tom’s problem begins with a feeling many children may recognize. He does not like the idea of sharing attention with someone new.
As Ted becomes more involved with the other animals, Tom becomes increasingly unhappy. His desire to remain the center of attention makes it difficult for him to appreciate what a new friendship could bring.
The situation becomes more serious as Tom’s jealousy influences his decisions. His actions eventually lead him toward danger, giving him a reason to look at his choices in a new way.
Bronwyn the Livestock Guardian Dog is there to offer guidance. Her calm and thoughtful nature helps Tom understand that friendship should not be treated like a contest.
Through Tom’s experience, young readers can see that jealousy may create problems, while trust, kindness, and acceptance can help build stronger relationships.
Bronwyn Is a Real Dog With Her Own Story
Bronwyn is an important part of Christine Lawson’s farm stories, but she is more than a character created for children.
Bronwyn is a real Great Pyrenees livestock guardian dog. She was born with a physical disability that affects one of her paws. The paw is shaped like a lobster claw, which made movement more difficult for her when she was young.
While other puppies could run and play with fewer limitations, Bronwyn had to find her own way to move and develop. Her physical challenge did not prevent her from learning the skills needed to protect animals on the farm.
Bronwyn’s real-life experience became the basis for Christine’s earlier book, Bronwyn the Livestock Guardian Dog. Her journey also brings an added layer to Tom Turkey Learns the Importance of Friends, where she appears as an animal who can offer Tom guidance.
Bronwyn shows that ability is not always easy to see from the outside. Her life demonstrates how patience, courage, and determination can help an individual overcome physical challenges.
A Lesson Children Can Take With Them
At the heart of this children’s book is a lesson about the value of friendship.
Children can sometimes feel jealous when someone new receives attention or becomes popular. Tom’s story gives young readers a safe and simple way to think about those emotions.
The book encourages children to consider questions such as: What happens when jealousy controls our actions? How can we welcome someone new? Why is friendship more meaningful than being the most popular person in the group?
Rather than simply telling children what they should do, the story allows them to watch Tom make choices and experience the results.
The barnyard setting also gives the lesson a fun backdrop. Young animal lovers can enjoy the personalities of the turkeys and other farm characters while following Tom’s changing attitude.
A Story Inspired by Real Farm Life
Christine Lawson’s connection to farm animals is personal. She returned to farming her family’s land after searching for healthy food options for her children.
Christine is a practicing attorney and a mother of two adult children on the autism spectrum. She raised her children as a single mother and has personal experience with the challenges that can come with being different.
Her family’s dietary needs led her to create a specialty food company offering foods she developed for her children. Her journey eventually brought her back to the family farm, where animals became an important part of her life.
Bronwyn arrived as a guardian for Christine’s animals. Getting to know the dog and seeing her handle her physical disability inspired Christine to tell Bronwyn’s story.
That experience opened the door to writing books that use farm animals to explore lessons that matter to children.
Why This Book Stands Out
This children’s book combines an entertaining animal story with a lesson that children can understand and discuss.
Tom is not presented as someone who always makes the right decision. His jealousy causes trouble, but it also gives him an opportunity to learn. His experience shows young readers that making a mistake does not have to be the end of the story. What matters is being willing to recognize the problem and make a better choice.
The connection to Bronwyn also gives the book a meaningful link to a real animal. Her presence reminds readers that every creature has its own challenges, abilities, and strengths.
Together, the characters create a story about looking beyond competition and learning to value the people and friends around us.
About Christine Lawson
Christine Lawson is a practicing attorney, mother, entrepreneur, farmer, and author. Her life experiences have taken her through several different roles, from raising her children and developing specialty foods to returning to her family’s land and caring for livestock.
Her writing brings these experiences together through stories featuring farm animals and lessons about everyday values.
Tom Turkey Learns the Importance of Friends continues her work of creating stories that combine animals, adventure, and positive messages for young readers.
Where to Find the Book
Tom Turkey Learns the Importance of Friends is available on Amazon.
Readers interested in meeting Bronwyn before or after reading Tom’s story can also explore Bronwyn the Livestock Guardian Dog, the book inspired by the real Great Pyrenees who overcame the challenges caused by her physical disability.

International Trading Institute Expands Professional Trader Development Beyond the Master’s in Trading
Barcelona, Spain, September 15th, 2026, FinanceWire
The International Trading Institute (ITI) has expanded its education offering beyond its flagship Master’s in Trading, creating a broader set of professional development pathways for traders at different stages of experience.
A beginner may need a sound foundation in markets and risk. An active trader may need to strengthen execution or psychology. A more experienced trader may need deeper study, structured feedback, or a mentor who can identify weaknesses that are difficult to see from inside their own process.
ITI now brings those needs together through foundation programs, standalone Master’s-level courses, professional certificates, 1:1 mentorship, and its accredited Master’s in Trading.
From Knowledge to Professional Process
At the advanced end of ITI’s pathway is its two-year, part-time Master’s in Trading, designed for working professionals and serious independent traders who want to develop their trading within a more rigorous professional framework while continuing their careers and market activity.
Many experienced traders have already accumulated some years of strategies, market commentary, and self-directed learning. The harder task is turning that knowledge into a coherent process: understanding what is driving a market, building a thesis, managing risk, executing with discipline, and reviewing decisions systematically.
The Master’s connects market analysis, strategy, execution, risk management, and trading psychology through live instruction, applied market work, and 1:1 mentorship. Offered in partnership with Westcliff University, it leads to an accredited master’s degree in Trading. The next cohort begins October 27, 2026, and applications are open.
Trading Performance Under Pressure
A major specialist pathway is ITI’s Trading Psychology & Performance Certificate, a 16-week live online program beginning October 27, 2026. It combines two Master’s-level courses, Trading Psychology and Advanced Trading Psychology, with practical tools for traders who understand what they should do but struggle to execute consistently under pressure.
Students examine cognitive bias, emotional regulation, risk perception, and decision-making under uncertainty, then build systems around behavioral KPIs, pre-trade routines, review processes, and recovery protocols. The program culminates in a personal Trader Performance Operating System, treating psychology as a performance discipline rather than motivational content.
Steve Ward, an ITI faculty member and specialist in trader performance who coaches hedge fund portfolio managers and elite traders, summarized the challenge succinctly:
“What separates long-term performers isn’t just their system or edge. It’s their ability to be able to execute consistently under pressure.”
Individual Development, One Trader at a Time
For traders whose needs do not fit neatly into a course, ITI’s 1:1 Trading Mentorship offers direct access to experienced market professionals. Mentorship is matched to the individual and may focus on execution, risk, psychology, strategy refinement, review, or accountability. The aim is not prediction or shortcuts, but experienced feedback and a more disciplined development process.
At foundation level, ITI runs Trading for Beginners twice a year. The current cohort begins September 15 and introduces new traders to chart analysis, market context, risk, and rules-based trade planning through eight live sessions.
ITI also offers standalone courses and certificates across specialist areas of trading. Traders can address a specific gap, work privately with a mentor, or pursue the full graduate pathway when they are ready for a broader commitment.
Applications for the October Master’s cohort and enrollment for the Trading Psychology & Performance Certificate are open. Traders interested in 1:1 mentorship can request an initial consultation with ITI.
About the International Trading Institute (ITI)
The International Trading Institute (ITI) is a professional trading education institution offering structured development pathways for traders at every stage, from foundational learning to advanced specialist study, 1:1 mentorship, and an accredited Master’s in Trading. With experienced market professionals as faculty, ITI brings together academic rigor, applied market learning, and professional development to help traders build stronger processes, judgment, and discipline.

Michelle Kam is formalizing a pledge to expand her practice beyond pre-construction condos into homes and commercial sales, with a set of concrete client-facing commitments starting this year and building toward what growth in the 2027 market will take.
A pledge, not just a plan
Ontario, Canada, Sep 15, 2026, ZEX PR WIRE — Michelle Kam has spent most of her career known for pre-construction condos, lofts, and townhomes in Toronto. That work is not going away. But Kam is now putting a formal pledge behind something she has been building toward for a while: a wider practice that includes homes and commercial properties.
This is a commitment with specifics attached, not a vague plan to “grow the business.”
The three commitments
Kam is naming three things she will do differently starting now.
First, every buyer meeting will include a homes and commercial conversation, not just a condo one. Kam says too many buyers assume she only handles condos because that has been her public focus for years. Going forward, her intake process will ask about business space and freehold homes as a matter of course, not as an afterthought.
Second, she is committing to publish market commentary that covers homes and commercial sales alongside condos. For years, her public writing leaned almost entirely on the pre-construction and urban condo market. Kam is pledging to keep a running commentary on what is happening in Toronto’s broader housing market, including how policy shifts and cross-border economic pressure show up in local pricing and demand as the market moves toward 2027.
Third, Kam is committing to bring her high-volume sales background to bear on commercial transactions. She built her reputation working with Concord Alex and Baker Real Estate on high-volume, pre-sale deals. She is pledging to apply that same discipline (tight timelines, careful paperwork, clear buyer communication) to commercial clients who are used to slower, less structured service.
Why now
Kam points to conditions that make this the right moment rather than a random pivot.
“Buyers who came to me for a condo five years ago are now looking at homes, or they’re running a business and need commercial space,” Kam says. “It would be strange for me to only be able to help with one part of that.”
She also points to broader market conditions heading into 2027. Changes coming out of the new US administration have added uncertainty to interest rates, cross-border investment, and material costs, all of which touch commercial real estate directly. Kam says growth in that kind of market takes patience, since financing and permitting timelines are slower to react than a condo presale cycle. She wants to be someone her clients can call about any of it, not just condos.
“I don’t think buyers should have to find a different agent every time their needs change,” Kam says. “I’d rather be the person who can walk them through a condo purchase this year and a commercial lease a few years later.”
What growth in 2027 will take
Kam says real growth in a market like this will not come from a single announcement. It will come from small, practical steps taken consistently over the next couple of years.
That means clients start seeing homes and commercial listings included in the same market updates that used to focus only on condos. It means buyer consultations run slightly longer, since they now cover more ground. And it means Kam is personally taking on a small number of commercial files herself this year, rather than routing them elsewhere, so she understands the deal structures before she claims expertise in them.
“I want to actually do the work before I claim to be an expert at it,” Kam says. “That’s always been how I approach anything new.”
Kam adds that the 2027 market will likely reward agents who can move between property types without losing their footing, since buyers themselves are moving between them. “People aren’t staying in one lane anymore,” she says. “Their agent shouldn’t either.”
A pledge tied to a track record
Kam built her practice from a smaller footing into a full-service business over more than a decade. That history, growing by adding capability rather than replacing what came before, is the model Kam says she is following again.
“I didn’t stop doing resale when I moved into pre-construction,” Kam says. “I added to what I already knew. This is the same idea, just applied to homes and commercial space.”
Kam says she expects the commercial side of her business to take longer to build than condos did, since the buyer relationships and deal structures are different. She is not promising a fast turnaround. She is promising to show up for it consistently, year over year, through 2027 and beyond.
About Michelle Kam
Michelle Kam is a real estate broker based in Toronto, Ontario, and broker/owner at Re/Max City Accord Realty Inc. She graduated with honours from York University and built her career in Toronto’s condo, loft, and pre-construction market before opening her own brokerage, City Accord Realty Inc., which she ran for over a decade prior to joining the Re/Max brand in 2016.

The platform confirms its place among the global leaders in social trading
FX Junction, one of the world’s leading social networks for forex and CFD traders, now has 40,602 registered members and has processed 26,001,872 trades through the platform. Members have linked 12,556 live trading accounts to the network, held with 1,169 supported brokers, and the platform is available to users in more than 50 countries.
The numbers place FX Junction among the top group of social trading platforms operating at a scale of tens of thousands of verified members and tens of millions of executed trades. Unlike discussion-based communities, where performance claims cannot be independently checked, the FX Junction model is built on trading accounts connected directly through MetaTrader, so that every statistic displayed on a member’s profile is derived from actual broker data.
“These are not marketing estimates; they are counts taken from connected trading accounts,” says Syam K.P., analyst at FX Junction. “Twenty-six million executed trades across more than twelve thousand linked accounts is a data set that very few social trading platforms can put on the table. What it tells us is that the market has moved past the stage where a screenshot was enough. Traders want to see a verified track record before they follow anyone, and platforms that cannot produce one are gradually losing that audience.”
Syam K.P. adds that growth in the number of linked accounts is, in the company’s view, the more relevant indicator than the headline membership figure: “Registration costs a trader nothing. Connecting a live account and making a track record public is a different level of commitment, and that is where the real size of a social trading network shows.”
The company notes that member funds always remain with the trader’s own broker. FX Junction does not hold client capital and acts solely as the layer connecting traders and replicating positions between accounts. Trading in leveraged instruments carries a high risk of loss.
About FX Junction
The investment and trading platform FX Junction is one of the world’s leading social trading networks. In the area of CFDs and forex, FX Junction had already established itself as one of the global leaders among social platforms for traders.
FX Junction was founded in 2011. The company’s launch was supported by a Swiss investor through the parent company Pine Group SA, alongside U.S. executive Ryan Novak.
