About the Book
Inspirations of the Heart Volume 28 is a writing that is done in a variance of styles, it starts in poetry, then it moves into poetry based on certain criteria, like prayer, love, and even songs. This one is based on poetry that I found in a notebook that has been sitting around for 15 years, that I have been writing, writing poetry has been a God send to me, it has kept me sane, it helped pull me through the tragic sectors of my life, like when I was diagnosed with Cancer, three times, and when I was diagnosed with Pneumonia 17 times, and could not work for three years.So the poetry in this book, are things that have been going on for 15 years, so the range is there, spanning back all of that time, some of the writings are actually based on up to date events, or at least within 2 years of putting it into writing. Inspirations of the Heart seemed to start out as an idea, to get me motivated to live, and it all started with writing in notebooks, then on poetry websites, then finally, I was able to publish the first book. For me, I thought that, this was going to be a one time thing, one book and done, I had no idea that it would turn into a series that would span this long, and I have still, outlines for 17 more books of poetry, so now I have three poetry lines, There is Inspiration of the Heart, then there is the Bonus edition, and then there is the special Edition, so that gives me to date around 33 published poetry books on Inspirations of the Heart.All of my poetry is based on spiritual inspiration, and the thing about inspiration is, if you don't write it down, you lose it, it is sort of like going to school for a foreign language then never having the ability to use it, you eventually lose what you learned, so, I try hard to write down the things that I hear so I can put it on book format later on. my main thought now is, with all of the hurt and pain going on around the globe, who knows if something that I have put out there could help someone heal, especially the Tone the Bell editions.
