      Conversations of the Heart From Pain to Promise - Carmen M. Sullemun

      Foreword

      Carmen Sullemun had been a colleague of mine for some ten years teaching in the same school. When four years ago, we both moved to a new school and became friends as well as colleagues. I have always known her as a strong and independent woman, someone who had her life in hand and was sure of her direction. Several months ago, I was honored to meet a Carmen I had not known when she gave me the manuscript of this volume of poetry. Her words revealed to me a Carmen whose experience, often difficult and filled with pain, has evolved her into a wise and understanding sister in this journey we call Life.

      Have you ever cried without shedding a tear? Have you ever cried, wanting to pray…? These lines will strike a chord in any woman who has loved a parent, joined with a spouse, and birthed a child. Carmen has reached deep into her past to find her self, and inspires other women to do the same. She shows us we are more than the sum of our roles as daughter, spouse and mother. Her poems are revealing; they are poignant; they are spirit-filled. Read them and you will find a glimpse of yourself in them. They will transport you to a place where, perhaps, you can find respite and solace in the loving arms of our God.

      Thank you, Carmen, for letting us in and sharing yourself in such an intimate and loving way. You are blessed.

      Susan Rawson, friend and fellow traveller

      Dedication

      The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, for he has anointed me to bring Good News to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim that captives will be released, that the blind will see, that the oppressed will be set free, and that the time of the Lord’s favor has come.

      Luke 4:18-19

      (New Living Translation)

      Dedicated to those in pain - mothers, daughters, fathers, sisters, brothers and friends, and to all who were used by God to help me rise again. I choose to dedicate this to you - as a place to identify, to exhale and release the secret pain(s) that you are covering. I will always remember and honor you from within - from the places within me that connect and recognize where you are and have
