By the age of 36, Leslie Crawford Moore, a national makeup artist, became a Warrior and a Survivor. This wife, mother, and sister was diagnosed with Stage III breast cancer. On June 1, 2009 she began writing her very personal experience throughout a year of surgery, chemo, radiation, and ongoing post treatment. As a mother of two young children, one with special needs and one still in diapers, a business owner of 10 years, and a frequent traveler, life has always been an adventure for Leslie, but what she didn't know was that she was about to embark on the adventure of a lifetime. From manicures to mammograms, pedicures to pathology reports, this Warrior shares a year in her life where everything she thought she knew hangs in the balance. It was one tough year, but she is tougher and considers herself and family more blessed than burdened. From head shaving to IV Pole Racing, to Hot Pink Wigs and Chemo Couture, join this Warrior's journey where you will laugh, cry, be inspired, be encouraged, and really get the low down on why true Warriors Wear PINK Honest, RAW, NOT sugar coated. Inspirational, uplifting, encouraging, and spiritual, yet sassy. Modern, current, and classy with a little bit of sharp tongue and edge, Leslie shares every detail of each step in this journey in the hopes of helping others, whether they are fighting cancer or some other situation in life that challenges them. There will always be hope, even in life's darkest moments.
There's lots to like about Leslie Crawford's poems. To begin with, she's interested in 'other lands' and going through portals to strange places. Here, you might catch a vision of the past, strangely clad folk called elves or even a man sitting at a desk who looks oddly familiar... Is he a seer, an alchemist or maybe someone closer to home? While the author is clearly intrigued by the dark side and the lure of iniquity, she is also at ease telling a fable ('Night and Day') and taking an amusing dig at witches and modern chemistry ('The Pot'). Ships and the sea play an important part in the poet's stock of imagery and the title piece, 'White Horse', sees the ocean as a force doing battle with the shore, just as the volcano in 'Fire Mountain' poses a threat to vegetation and mankind. Altogether, it's an exciting, highly imaginative collection, with unusual turns of phrase.
