I hope you enjoy my poems as you follow along. I kept my poems a secret for almost 30 years. I lost them several years ago until my husband found them in the shed. I started my book by doing the "Forward", which tells you about my life and how this came about.
After 30 years, I let a few of my friends know about my poetry. My husband was the first person to ever read my poems. His instant reaction was "you need to publish, you can help so many people". I did tell a few close friends with the same reaction "you need to publish". I decided to seek out a few editors and quickly got the same reaction "you need to publish". So 0ut came a book, speaking engagements and now my blog.
Have you gone through the same or similar events in your life? If you feel you could share your experience or help someone else, let us know. Everyone has a different experience but there are plenty of us out their who want to help. Venting can be very productive and comes in many sizes and shapes. I secretly and silently vented through my poetry for almost 3o years.
I look forward to chatting with all of you.
