"Lessons Learned" is a collection of short stories written by Donna Yates. Each story deals with the importance of being true to one's own system of values, whether that system speaks of love, life, or anything that may fall in between. We all face those moments when we must decide, before we take action, to either listen to our hearts or ignore what we know to be right. "Lessons Learned" is about making those decisions and living with the consequences of actions taken based upon them. sometimes the consequences of our actions are fulfilling, sad, and sometimes downright funny. When we are willing to open our eyes to all that life has to offer, how can we NOT learn from life's lessons?
