She is a single parent of a three-year-old little boy who she considers to be her most precious and valuable gem. She was married for eight years but the relationship abruptly ended. During this process she remained a dedicated mother and student as she continued to pursue her doctoral education. The divorce process that ensued was tremendously turbulent because she used all of her means and strength fighting for her little gem. However during this period of tremendous hardship, as a path of self-reflection, she rediscovered her inner voice, this time in the form of poetry. Her passions, desires and underlying strengths were able to be conveyed as her poems began to transcend her own life altering experiences. Subsequently these poems began to touch the lives of countless others as she shared her poems with friends and family. It was at this time she began to discover that through her words of pain, inner strength and inspiration, that the struggle of her life was not hers alone, rather her voice reflected the life experiences of many. As a result of this life changing metamorphosis her poems embraced the challenges faced in life, as well as, it provided inspirational food for thought. Directly or indirectly these poems reiterate the importance of family, deepening friendships, it provides meaning to our individual life experiences, and the understanding that our life woes are securely placed in the bosom of the one above.view less
