When thinking about this book, I wanted to maintain my focus on writing that inspires and uplifts others. My approach to this book is slightly different, as I sought the insight and suggestions from some of my readers. They presented me with a topic, a thought or an idea and I built around it. In addition to that, I am presenting this book with a built-in blog as well. BOOK 'n' BLOG is literally a term that just came to me one evening. While reviewing this project, I knew that I wanted to take a creative, innovative approach to style. I also realized that very rarely does a reader have the opportunity to know the author's perspective. My goal for this book is to provide you, the reader, with my thoughts and perspectives of each poem to follow. You will be able to journey with me as each poem blossoms into existence.
