"One must walk through the gate to the path wending toward self-awareness, light our own torch and blaze our personal trail, in order to find our truth and give our life meaning." Through poetry and prose expressed with sincerity of intention and eloquence of genuine communication, "I Am a Flame: Burning to Know My Own Truth" openly explores the unfolding of life, inspiring you to examine your life experiences. While keeping a personal journal in her attempt to find an outlet for her positive philosophy, author Connie Hunt discovered that poetry was the best channel for communicating her feelings. She believes that poetry is a powerful force in creating a new vision for the world. Hunt has been writing poetry for thirty years. Her earliest work, "Reaching," is still in the hands of enthusiastic poetry lovers. "Listening: An Inner Journey," her second book, has reached an even broader audience. Hunt's latest work, "I Am a Flame," recounts her life experience from the perspective of her own growth to show others how to deal positively with change and transition and to encourage a greater awareness for our own life journey.
