    About this ebook

    Loving Life Through It All is a collection of poems broken up into three parts. The first section is entitled Pain, which consist of heartbreak, death of love, and a variety of struggles. The second section entitled Acceptance is all about learning to accept oneself, others, and the different seasons of life. The final section titled Joy is simply about having peace, happiness, and joy through all of the growing pains of life. Its about having gladness no matter what obstacle is present. Everyone encounters struggles, frustration, identity issues, and heart-ache but life is a journey. There is no way to live without any of those things; therefore, we must learn to enjoy all of the opportunities to show, share, and embrace love and happiness. The poems were written over a course of eight years which shows a growth in itself. The goal for the book is to help mend hearts and build bridges of Faith and Acceptance through connecting with hurt and struggle which all of us have.
