Throughout most of my adult life, and especially since the loss of my father eight years ago, I have strived to make a positive difference in the lives of others. By example, and through precious memory, he has taught me the lesson that one person truly can make a difference; therefore, I have modeled myself around his quality of character. I live a modest life, much like he did, and dedicate my energy to the simple yet powerful idea that we should all live in a way that we would be proud to be remembered by.

In memory of my father (an English teacher of thirty years), I have written a collection of inspirational poems in attempt to awaken the goodness in people, and motivate them to seek out the goodness in others. As a Registered Nurse, I understand the subservient strength within many that proves to prevail with the subtle inspiration that my poems venture to offer.
