Notes from the Author

When you allow the energy of life to flow through you and trust that you are exactly where you need to be, at this moment in time, incredible truths will be revealed.  This is exactly how this book has come to be.

 

Determined to “live my truth”; I set out to solve the mystery that is me. Poetry had always provided me with many clues to my inner world, so I picked up my favorite compilation of poetry for inspiration and clarity.  It was then that I began writing my own truths. Dance of the Leaf is my personal reflection on life, love and soul.

 

To Quote Plato – “Poetry is nearer to vital truth than history”.

 

You have been led to this site for a reason.  I invite you to read an excerpt from Dance of the Leaf or enjoy a poetry reading and perhaps my words will inspire you to uncover your own truths. 

 

Thank you for visiting,

A View Inside

This new poet ponders the challenges and events of everyday life as she shares her own heartfelt feelings and experiences.  They include a broad range of topics from finances (Money and Me) and self-worth (Good Enough) to nature (Bees) and wonderment (Wonder and Fancy).  Sometimes introspective, sometimes humorous, her reflections are about the daily comings and goings in our world. 

 

A financial planner by day, she uses her poetry to help motivate women to listen to the thoughts in their head, rewrite their stories and recognize their true worth.  She believes that “self-discovery and love are on the path to real wealth”.

 

Not afraid to share her personal thoughts, Lynn’s transparency is both refreshing and inspirational.  Her poems encourage us to look within and discover all that we can be.  As she directs us in the play of life, she invites us to make a difference in our world by doing our dance.  This is in reference to the title poem.

 

Her words open our eyes to new possibilities, convince us to believe in ourselves and impress upon us the importance of love – of self and others.  She invites us to join her on a soul journey that will connect us with the amazing spirit that we are.  This book is truly a reflection on life, love and soul.


 

The author's personal invitation to you:


 

Want to learn about what’s inside?
Find a nice chair, off to the side
Sit down, relax and take your time
Open my book and choose one rhyme

 

Take in each word; go with the flow
Don’t try to rush, read it real slow
Feelings may come; just let them be
Then an ah-ha, now you can see

 

Reflect you will, on things you’ve done
Now look ahead at what’s to come
Give of your love within and out
Live life fulfilled, without a doubt

 

Verse may inspire, cause you to act
Will touch your soul; that is a fact
Open the heart of someone new
I hope that someone new, is you!
