DAILY AWAKENINGS…A POEM A DAY…

 Book One and Two…

 

Like many parents wearing many hats it is not always easy to find time to commit to the things you are passionate about so at the beginning of 2016 I set myself a goal.

 

I would write a poem a day for an entire year.

 

Rather than bemoan the fact that I did not have the time for my creative endeavors I needed to make the time.

 

There were moments when I was not sure I would fulfil this self-set task but with determination and encouragement I achieved my dream…my goal…

 

It has given me an opportunity to expand and evolve on many levels.

 

I found as the months progressed my writing dug deeper and deeper to a place of observation and simplicity.

 

It became somewhat like a gratitude journal or a form of mindfulness, thus the subtitle for Book One, ‘Mindfulness through Verse’.

 

It was suggested to me that it would be ideal if you, the reader, could read a poem a day on the day it was written exactly one year prior.

 

With that in mind, I set about creating a two-book series on a very tight timeframe with Book One released in December, 2016.

 

‘Daily Awakenings…A poem a day…Connection through Verse…’ Book Two was launched by Monaro MP and Deputy Premier of NSW Mr John Barilaro on the 26th of May 2017.

 

Enjoy the journey!!

 

Warm Regards
