When I published my first book back in 2010 all my author friends said you must have a blog, so with a lot of help and many prayers Layers of the Heart became a blog. Sadly due to illness, surgery and an immediate family death, my post became less and less and people asking me to post some poems and stories became greater and greater. So I had a hard copy made of my blog in 2012 as a gift for Christmas for a friend, and my friend returned it and said this needs to be shared, I think you need to turn this into a book. It took me this long to get the help I needed to make it happen, but I am humbled, excited and so happy to share my stories, poetry and prayers. You see encouragement, inspiration, joy, and smiles are some of my favorite things, The world needs as many bright lights and places to find hope and love, for we can never have to much of either. I pray my book can be a candle in that chandelier. Hugs and smiles Columbia
