My 1st. book was launched in October 2010 and is titled
Life's Pathway of Experiences, Emotions & Inspirations
I woke up in the middle of the night in October 2007 and started writing poetry. At first I had no idea why this continued to happen, but I then realised that I had to do something practical with my writings, so I started to print my poetry onto pictured paper and laminated them. I started selling them at various outlets and the Barmera Main Street Markets in the Riverland South Austrailia.
Later I realised I had written all about life's experiences emotions and inspirations and hence the title of my book. Inspiring , thought provoking, self reflection, covering events from start of life through the our journeys end. Some of lifes very difficult situations, that are sometimes not openly talked about are also in my book . We need to acknowledge these experiences we or others are having so people can heal or seek help. I was thrilled to be able to launch my book at the same market in October 2010. I Ihave continued to write and find myself thinking of little quotes about life. They all have a purpose. It has been amazing to write and print about the very topics that are usually hush hush, but if some topics are not talked about and kept quite how can things be changed for the better.
WE CAN ALL MAKE A DIFFERENCE
About my books
My 2nd. book launch on the 25th November 2014 'White Ribbon Day' and is titled
Women ARE Survivors
I am very proud that this book as it will not only help women who are or have experienced domestic violence, but also the profits will go to MurrayLands Domestic Violence Service. I have selected my original poems, messages and quotes because of their significance and relevence for women facing domestic violence issues.
They are the most difficult and not always talked about life turmoils that are faced by women in domestic violence situations. I then added poems for reflection and then inspiration for women to
dare to dream and give hope that new beginings are possible for themselves and their children.
I also hope that this book will help family, friends and new workers to help understand the harsh emotional side of domestic violence, and that women's self esteem takes a real battering.
