Story Behind The Book
The poems in this book spans the course of my life from a naïve young adult to woman who is still learning and growing. I’ve had relationships with God, self, and others that were at times toxic (sometimes my own doing); and exhilarating. Reflecting on my past offers me a chance to look at the whole experience – setbacks and victories – and whole me. I recognized being emotionally, spiritually, and mentally malnourished; and had to stop or else I would die inside. I appreciate and choose not to have any regrets because in the end; I can’t change the past.
Poetry has helped me to reconnect and bridge a gap in my life where common sense falls short. I’m a strong believer that our natural born gifts were given to us to nurture and edify others. Thank you for allowing these poems to make footprints in your present, leading to your brighter future.
