This book is my journey of life, love and learning. It is intimate, heartbreaking, sad, happy, about loss, falling in love, loving and the journey of a woman. The process of writing poetry brought me a new intimacy with my own spirit. I learned who I am through the years of writing my poetry. My website: http://www.zazzle.com/joacreations
I began writing poetry at the age of 12. I did not know it would aid me in discovering a new intimacy with my own spirit, teaching me about love and revealing to me who I am on the path of knowing thyself.
Meditation further aided me in this process which took me to the depths of my own shadow and back again into my light with a newfound sense of peace and a wisdom I would have not had otherwise.
I believe that all that has been my life, all the heartache, the love I have known has been the path I was meant to go down to learn about myself. You cannot truly know another unless you know yourself.
