Publisher's Synopsis
Daily AwakeningsA poem a day...ForewordLike many parents wearing many hats it is not always easy to find time to commit to the things you are passionate about so at the beginning of 2016 I set myself a goal.I would write a poem a day for an entire year.Rather than bemoan the fact that I did not have the time for my creative endeavors I needed to make the time.There were moments when I was not sure I would fulfil this self-set task but with determination and encouragement I succeeded!! It gave me an opportunity to expand and evolve on many levels.I found as the months progressed my writing dug deeper and deeper to a place of observation and simplicity.It became somewhat like a gratitude journal or a form of mindfulness that took me to a wonderful place of connection with my inner and outer world. It was suggested to me that it would be ideal if you, the reader, could read a poem a day on the day it was written exactly one year prior. With that in mind, I created a two-book series with book one released in December, 2016. This is book two...
