[THOUGHTS]

Like a sunflower in full bloom one of the simplest pleasures in life are fresh flowers. For me those summer bounties just seem to whisper to my soul, bringing with them seeds of creative imagination.

Ahh, those flowers of the Sun, sent to remind us to follow our instincts, follow our joys, follow what brightens our spirits—wishing all a joyfully, inspired Day of the Sun.

[INSPIRATION]

"Be a light onto yourself"
— Buddha

I want to thank all the amazing artists who contributed their art to support this poetic journey of mine. Each artist has brought a unique perspective to this project. Without them, my words of poetry would be just words without artistic meaning. I am truly grateful for their presence in my literary world.

Shameless Self-promotion
[ sheym-lis ]

"The act or habit of trying to make other people pay attention to you and think that you are interesting, important, successful, etc.:" [ Source Cambridge Dictionary

Writers, Poets, and Authors are passionate about creating artistic meaning through our words. When we finally reach that next plateau through publication, the real challenge begins. Only to find ourselves marketing our Poetic Creations with a sense of Shameless Promotion.

So here we are, just me reminding you again about this new book of Poetic Prose of mine, shamelessly encouraging you to read it.

But, actually I am so excited to announce my that my new book has made its way to Barnes & Noble Book Stores.
