Poetry is written to encourage the reader to visualize a story and explore emotions.Sometimes dark, often with a twist of humor, the reader can be transported into a world of self discovery by imagining the turmoil associated with relationships.The power of observation and self-awareness as described in the book can lead to understanding human responses and why some have doubts about how to proceed.A complex and descriptive mixture of romance, torment, emotion, imaginings, and yearnings are contained in the selection of poetry.Each poetic piece is a story with a beginning and an end. The reader will enjoy some while being left to wonder why by others-to ask questions and look for answers.You won't want to stop part way through reading each individual poem; the urge is to continue reading to find the end of each story.This is suited to the adult reader or mature adolescent. It is a combination of interesting and entertaining stories-a good read.

At the end of 2011, after a horrendous year that she would rather forget and struggling with a midlife crisis, author Bella Pearce knew something had to change. Summoning her strength, she decided to spend twelve months on an overseas adventure, volunteering around Canada and the United States through the World Wide Opportunities on Organic Farms (WWOOF) program.Bella relied on her courage to leave behind a thirty-two-year-old marriage, close down her business, and walk away. She initially intended to use the trip to rediscover the person she knew had been buried by grief, stress, and loneliness. But over time, it became an extraordinary and courageous journey. She could never have dreamed up the experiences she had, the challenges she faced, or the places she encountered. The universe directed Bella to where she needed to be, and at each location she learned lessons on the path to her recovery. Although she expected to find passion, compassion, and a renewed perspective on life, what she gained during her time away was much more than she ever imagined possible.In this memoir, one woman recounts the story of her life-changing year volunteering and traveling around North America and the Caribbean, while in search of herself.

As part of the process of spiritual growth, we must work on the purification and refinement of our different vibrational bodies. In order to purify and evolve our emotional body, we must remain vigilant to expose our habitual emotional patterns and thus become able to change the old recordings that are impressed on our etheric body. Also, we must learn new ways of dealing with "negative emotions," how to stimulate "positive emotions," and how to remain in balance by making this body sensitive to the guidance of our soul. Our work to purify and develop our mental body involves developing intelligence, cultivating moral capacity, encouraging new attitudes, developing correct discernment, reprogramming the subconscious mind, periodically silencing the mind, practicing abstract thinking, and learning to dispel illusions. The human spiritual bodies (atma, buddhi, and manas with the soul extension) emanate from the human monad or divine spark. A person's aura is formed by the aggregate of all human subtle bodies and their radiations. The interaction among the three lower bodies, the chakra system, and the soul extension determines what we call "good health" or "ill health." To maintain good health, we must learn to purify our lower bodies, balance the sacred elements, allow the free flow of vital energy through the chakra system, and live in total harmony with the universal laws of nature and spirit.
