My Life

My book contains poems about my experiences and thoughts on life, relationships, love, family, friends, mental illness, heartaches, money, time, etc. The passion and love I feel about everything is expressed throughout my book.

I have been writing poems for 40 years. Whenever I feel passionate about something that occurs in my life, I write down my feelings and create a poem. The cover of my book is unique and there's an interesting story behind it. When I was on vacation in Las Vegas, my sister Cheryl and I were going downstairs to meet my parents for dinner. When the elevator door opened, there was a dozen roses in pieces on the floor. I had this crazy idea to pick up the pedals and bring them back to the room. We laid the pedals on the bedsheet, shaped them into a heart and took a picture. This became the cover of my book. It symbolizes the many times my heart was broken and I fell apart but I always picked up the pieces and moved on. My poems are about inspiration, challenges, family, friends, tragedies and everything that I feel passionate about. This book is the story of My Life.

You can feel her passion through her words and her love for all those who have been by her side through it all.
