Inspired by two poets, George MacDonald and Betty K. Aberlin,
Judith gives us her version of daily reflections in poetry. Within
these short but courageous poems, she shares her journey in faith
and doubt, disappointments and success, fears, frustrations and the
unfolding of her life in a small, rural town in the Southwest. Some
days, she shows off her light-hearted acceptance of small-town
life. Other times, she explores emotions and truths that rarely
surface from the depths of one's soul. Like the rest of us,
Judith's days change with the seasons, sometimes with the rising
sun of a new dawn; the poems reflect this cycle. It is this
repetitive, daily poetic meditation that offers a fuller
understanding of Judith, her joys as well as struggles, and her
particular way of daring to witness. While her poems come from her
rural lifestyle, the lessons are universal. Judith invites readers
to enter their own daily reflections on each blank page that
accompanies her prayer poems. She hopes her words might provide a
gentle push and encouragement to all of us traveling this path
called Life.
This is the inspiring memoir of a woman raised within the cultural
confines of a Midwestern Catholic upbringing in the 1940s and '50s,
and her life's journey as her consciousness awakens. Her path takes
her through the expectations of the church, a painful marriage with
an undiagnosed bipolar husband, and her food addiction. Desperately
looking for guidance and answers to her innermost questions, she
encounters a series of "gurus"-bringing her unexpected but valuable
lessons that she integrates along the way. And at the age of
sixty-three, she begins to reinvent herself-and a beautiful,
gratifying life of her own begins to unfold. Interwoven throughout
her story are poems that deeply express her feelings in a way that
the reader won't forget. This true story of a woman who learns to
come to terms with herself, thereby opening the door to real
freedom, will benefit readers of all ages.
