Dear
Reader,
You are a beautiful and complex human being. Own
your strengths and your vulnerabilities. Embrace every aspect of your unique
personality. I wrote Wild Heart, Peaceful Soul for beautiful souls
like you who love deeply and lead with their hearts. You want to be loved
and accepted for all the you are. Sit with this collections of poems and
inspiration and feel the emotions in the often bumpy rollover coaster journey
of the stories in the first chapter, Wild Heart. Wild Heart is a
conversation with a best friend; it is raw and vulnerable and takes the reader
on a journey of self discovery — being an empath in a sometimes harsh world,
feeling broken after losing love, not feeling good enough to be loved, facing
rejection and abandonment, and navigating life with a heart that just wants to
love unconditionally. It is indeed an emotional and wild ride but be patient,
the second chapter, Peaceful Soul, will calm your spirit; it is an empowering
meditation on the peace that comes with reclaiming your heart — finding
strength in the love and support of sister friends, practicing self-love while
responsibly loving others, and finding joy in loving those that are worthy of
our love.
Please allow me to share my inspiration for writing this
collection of poems and inspiration. Many of the poems and inspiration
directly address the struggles of women. I was deeply inspired by my
writing mentor, Dr. Maya Angelou. Her poems, “Phenomenal Woman” and “Still, I
Rise” gave me the courage to walk confidently in the world. and sparked my love
for issues that are close to the heart of women. As women, we spend our
lives caring for others and putting the needs of others first. Women give
so much of themselves to others that their spiritual, mental and physical jars
are often empty. Poems such as Good Enough to Love addresses the
temptation to change ourselves in order to find love. The Princess Takes the
High Road encourages women to write their own happy endings. Strong
Sisters Unite speaks to embracing our vulnerability and humanity and not
pretend to be strong when love, counseling, and self-care is what is needed.
Wild Heart, Peaceful Soul came from a realization that we all share the same joys
and struggles in life. We often don’t share them because we feel alone or
embarrassed. However, I realized that if we share our joys,
vulnerabilities and pain, we can grow together, celebrate together and heal
together.
Thank you so much for journeying with me and
supporting poetry. I am fortunate that Wild Heart, Peaceful Soul
is reaching a wide audience and is resonating with readers just like you.
Please keep in touch as I am always happy to chat with readers, as well as
share advice and collaborate with fellow poets.

broken or not good enough to be loved and provide the strength in the love you
always need as we search for the one who is worthy of our love.
