During my childhood and adolescent years, I attended local public schools which gave me an opportunity to thrive and develop a love for the subject of Language Arts which lead to my passion for poetry.
My love for writing began when I was a young girl as my mother can attest to me often writing stories and reading to her before she went to sleep. Although writing poetry was just a hobby, initially; the joy and fulfillment that it brought me caused it to become so much more. When I am not writing, I enjoy dancing and singing---especially to classic 80’s music, and Zumba.
As a born-again believer, my relationship with God is of foremost importance to me. However, not everything you will read in this book will be of a ‘Christian’ nature, as some material will reveal to you some of the more challenging seasons in my life that God has and continues to deliver me from. Although I am human and continue to make mistakes, I am grateful for the areas in which I see growth and am excited about the desire that the Lord has placed in me to fulfill my purpose and destiny that He planned long before my existence became a reality.
In this book you will find poems about love, family, heartbreak, inspiration, and other life lessons. While reading each selection, keep in mind that I do draw upon my own experiences in many of my writings. I believe that by doing so, it authenticates the material for the reader. I hope that you enjoy this compilation as much as I’ve enjoyed writing each selection. It has been a long journey that I wouldn’t trade for anything. I am extremely grateful to God for blessing me with this wonderful talent and the opportunity to share it with you in Private Entries: Expression from the Heart.view less
