proud to be publishing my second book of poetry. My life has taken
many twists and turns from high school, college, marriage, becoming
a mother of 3 sons, teaching at a local school district, and then my
diagnosis of cancer. During my time of recovery I published my first
book, Everything Happens for a Reason in December 2006.
In this second book of my poetic works I will take you through
the last 5 years of my life since my breast cancer diagnosis
in March, 2006. I have been through a great deal of
hardships since my diagnosis and have used my writing to keep
myself "on track" with life. Some of the hardships other than the
cancer have included Bankruptcy and losing my home of 15 years,
divorce, other health diagnoses including Major Severe Depression.
Through all my tearful journey and my smiles as well, I have written
poems for all to enjoy. Some are dedicated to our military and their families.
I want others to know in this world around us there is always
someone worse off than you, you must always rise above and prosper
no matter how deep you feel your difficulties are.
