This collection evolved from days of pain and of remembering happiness. To deal with my life at the time, writing helped me to carry on day by day. Writing my thoughts down on paper I called my friend. The pen and words flowed on the pages along with some tears here and there. A profound account of one woman's awakening from years of pain and suffering. The work opens doors and pushes aside curtains to allow the author to express deep meaning to events that occurred. It is written to intend enjoyment and therapeutic soul searching. Perhaps, when an event comes about, we do not understand the reason, but this work explores potential escapes. The writer mingles reality, pain, together with mystical and spiritual experiences that help to find some kind of meaning to our lives. These convey what some people experience at some point in their life. The book has a variety of poems and prose which are wonderful, uplifting, and beautiful. A must read because the message is that we are the masters of our lives and we can control the final outcome.
