You have to be willing to pull out all the stops

And you must be brilliant, in your approach

Staying hungry, will make you the best, the tops

Being cantankerous, will just make you a roach

I am honored to be able to tell of my experience and be a part of “Understanding – An anthology of true and significant life events“, a book which was compiled by, and includes, author Stevie Turner, along with 19 other authors/writers.  The book is only $0.99 and all proceeds are going to cancer research.

From Amazon:

The following authors and bloggers kindly answered questions posed by Stevie Turner regarding significant life experiences they had undergone. These events include sexual abuse, a near death experience, alcoholism, being diagnosed with cancer, depression, losing weight, getting married, being a mother to many children, being the daughter of a narcissistic mother, and many more!

All proceeds will go to Cancer Research.

Thanks to:
Alienora Browning, Sally Cronin, Dorinda Duclos, Scarlett Flame, Bernard Foong, Darlene Foster, Janet Gogerty,  Debbie Harris, Lucy V. Hay, Miriam Hurdle, Phil Huston, Pamela Jessen, Joe, D.G Kaye, Lynda McKinney Lambert, Jaye Marie, Clive Pilcher, Abbie Johnson Taylor and Beem Weeks.

 

An Excerpt from my part:

A Near-Death Experience

Did you grow up believing that near death experiences occurred?
I grew up in a Catholic household. We were taught to believe in God and that Heaven was waiting for us when we died. My parents never spoke of anything beyond that but it was always in the back of my mind. What would happen if I almost died? Would I see God, heaven, would angels be singing? I’m still seeking some of those answers.

Are you psychic? Have you ever seen ghosts?
I am told I am Clairescencient. I often have spirits wandering my home. As long as they are not evil, I welcome them here. Otherwise, they get the boot. I can feel their pain, their desire to leave this dimension, unsure why they are still here. I have written about them many times in my poetry.

Are any other family members psychic?
Not to my knowledge. I have never heard any of them speak of it. My son does have the same sense I do, as far as feeling another presence, but does not communicate with them.

***********

To find out more about my experience, please consider purchasing the book.  There are so many amazing stories contained within! Thank you!!   ❤

Soft pink petals blush

In the light of afternoon

When the sun reigns high

Against a deep azure sky

April blooms her prettiest

It’s so easy to be dazzled, by the blowing breeze

Though it may seem rather tenuous, sometimes

As it flows through the air, flies aloft, in the trees

Let your senses pursue, what is sweetly sublime

Seal My Fate ~ #poetry – #NaPoWriMo

Sleep, is a nightmare, come to rest

These hands upon my body, pressed

Have they come to haunt my being?

Or is this an illusion, I am seeing?

Still I sleep, and do not awake

But I can feel my body quake

And tremble, like the ground that shifts

Yet, no words are falling, from my lips

I continue, to lie here, to contemplate

Knowing, these nightmares, seal my fate
