    About this ebook

    Anyone who has lived fully knows that life is a complex journey filled with unexpected twists and turns. In her first collection of poetry, Burma Thomas combines real-life experiences with a lyrical perspective that highlight life’s joys, beauty, heartache, and challenges. Thomas—who includes words of wisdom after each poem—offers a look into her path through life with the hope of helping others restore their own pasts, enjoy the present, realize true love, laugh often, find compassion, and envision a better future. With poetry that covers a gamut of experiences including family, marriage, and death, Thomas encourages others to not only love themselves, but to seek honesty, unconditional love, and respect in all relationships. Raw from the Heart shares compelling poetic perspectives on life’s challenges while emphasizing the importance of inner-peace, forgiveness, and self-worth.

      In your August 2022 issue, I read about Dr Julie Smith and her book Why Has Nobody Told Me This Before? and felt compelled to buy it. It’s filled with so many insights and practical examples and, as you read it, you can’t help but think, ‘That’s me!’

      I DON’T think I’d describe myself as a perfectionist. Yes, I do push hard to get things right and I expect the same from others, but I don’t spiral if things happen to be different from what the textbook says. As I’ve grown older I’ve realised there’
