Through the rhythm and rhyme of poetry, Let Go and...Hold On is the compilation of over 45 years of soul-searching writings that will help shine the light on the difficult and sometimes defeating circumstances that life offers. This book is not a "woe is me" story, but it is about the pain that brought Nina to a spiritual path--a path that revealed the wounded places deep down inside. Raised in a dysfunctional family with two narcissistic parents and then marrying an alcoholic, these poems are the stories that shaped her life. Walk through the pages to see how oftentimes people and circumstances were used to bring Nina to an end of her emotionally crippled self and to bring her to a place of awareness and willingness to let it all go. Nina shows us that it is in our vulnerability and imperfections that make us human. Let Go and...Hold On reveals the struggles and victories of an ordinary woman who stayed the course and faced her battles through faith in God and a determination to never give up.

The writer uses letters written from the children's perspective and the mother's ultimate response of what was done and perhaps what maybe should've been done instead.Her daughter's condition and ultimate quality of life were always predetermined by physicians who would diagnose the worst-case scenarios with extreme confidence in their tones.

It shines a light on somebody that may not be a theologian, saint, or studious academic but more so the average Joe (or Joyce) who is just beginning their travels back to a faith-filled life.Dear Mommy has been written to empower those like the writer who feel unworthy and ill equipped to start believing and begin learning about their faith. It takes the reader down a path of self-loathing and disappointment and guides to the ideals of repentance and self-forgiveness using the simplest of instruction--to love.

Welcome to reality. Reality, you say? Yes. That time when it hits you that you're getting older and not younger. That time hasn't stood still for you or for anyone, for that matter. That moment you look into the mirror and see that gray hair, wrinkle, or stretch mark and ask yourself, "Now when did that happen?" Life is ever-moving, never-standing still. That realization that father time doesn't wait for anyone. In fact, your, "Wait! Hold still!" I still have some more living to do falls on its deaf ears!But what if we could just stop for a moment. Stop! And remember those good ole days. When you were young, full of life, and your whole life was ahead of you. Fun times. Innocent times. Fulfilling times. Joyful times. Your best times. Ah, the laughter as we threw caution to the wind!We can't go back in time, but what if we could try and relive even a few of those moments? What if we could recapture moments of times past, just a peek of what our lives looked like back in the day?Through Mama Said, What? quotes and showing you pictures of what we all enjoyed while growing up are my intentions to do just that. I hope you're able to sit back, enjoy, reflect, reminisce, and remember our yesteryears, our life, growing up!
