    About this ebook

    Life starts with expectations and dreams, then runs into painful realities. When we open our eyes, seeing clearly our past actions, we find ourselves changed, and the dreams can turn out quite different from the ones we first created. Dawna goes deep into herself to discover what the universe is trying to teach her, to learn to listen to her heart. She discovers at the tender age of forty-five how repeated patterns in her life continue to bring pain without resolutions. Feeling like shes going around the same tree over and over again, she looks deeper for ways to break free from the pattern of pain. When she listens carefully, she finds a veil is lifted as a new truth is revealed and at the same moment the lie
    is exposed.
    This book is a recount of some of those personal lessons, each one unique, intense, and still common to many others. The poems will give you an awareness of your search for change and of a life made better. Each story takes you on your own personal journey, helping you to lift the veils and discover your own truth. These stories are woven with hope and new values that were a long time being uncovered. As you read these life lessons, you may find they are occasionally painful but always full of revelations. Each one requires a decision, to accept or discard the ideas and long-held beliefs that no longer serve life as it is now. To become herself, Dawna encountered memories that may take your breath away one moment but will leave you with hope which will last for the rest of your life.

      Life Insurance

      Glyph.jpg

      I had a two-and-a-half-year-old son at home while I was trying to manage the care of my newborn daughter. She was born with a liver disease and had her first surgery at seven weeks. Two more surgeries soon followed, and life settled into a crazy routine.

      I stayed in the hospital with her as long as I could, and then I went home to take care of laundry, do dishes, and tend to the needs of my husband and son. As soon as I could, I made the two-hour drive back to the hospital to stay with her and do it all again. It was exhausting. We had wonderful friends who helped wherever they could, but the brunt of the responsibility for managing it all fell on my shoulders.

      One evening, a nurse’s aide approached me. She said she’d been watching me and saw my strength, but she also knew that I couldn’t continue without wearing myself out. She said what I needed was God.

      God had been part of my life when I was young, but even then I only really went to church to sit next to a cute guy and hear stories about Jesus. I remember the day it occurred to me that the stories were true. I didn’t want to be on the wrong side of God, and I began a relationship with God that revolved around being good so he would be kind to me. When the nurse’s aide said that I needed God, it was a V8 moment for me. Of course! I would go to church and sit in the front pew to ensure that God would not take my daughter from
