This is a book about the life and experiences of Pat Morrell as a Realtor, and a real estate broker. On her long journey she spent over fifty one years in the real estate industry as an active agent. She traveled through many valleys and over many mountains, experiencing challenges, losses, and trying times. It required faith, determination, and persistance. There were constant, new experiences, and changes in the "market," and the paper work requirements. The book includes articles and poems Pat wrote that were published over the years in the Real Toro, Real Estate Guide, and SACBOR by her real estate board. Some of the articles are "motivational," and some are about the lives of realtors, including President's of her Board of Realtors. Her book, "So You Want To Sell Real Estate" was started over thirty years ago, and never completed. Because of other obligations, and life's challenges, it was filed away until just recently. Those pages are included in her book, as well as other miscellaneous, inspirational, motivational, and thought provoking articles and poems. The "survivor's" can take a trip down "memory lane, " journeying" back through the years.

This is a book of poems by Pat Morrell-Donnelly about "Honoring God," "Honoring Family," "Honoring Friends," and "Honoring Country." It is a very personal book but she hopes readers will relate to the thoughts in her poems. It is an attempt to pay homage to those that have touched her life in their own special, unique way. The dictionary states, "Honor is about respect, recognition, and esteem shown to others." Reverence implies, "Profound respect mangled with love, devotion, or awe." Pat states, "For those of us that had loving parents, loving families, and lifetime friends we have been greatly blessed. And to have been born into an exceptional country like the U.S.A., even as a child of the depression, knowing struggles and adversities, we still have been doubly blessed." She says, "Trials and challenges only made us stronger. We believed if we wanted anything monetarily we had to work for it. We never thought of relying on the government." Pat says, "Unlike some of our "citizens" today being brainwashed, we were ALWAYS proud of our country. We believed in being responsible, working hard to attain a better life, and always treating others as we would like to be treated." "Honoring" is a book of poems about faith, hope, and love and inspirational and motivational thoughts. Also poems about her precious family, her loved ones and friends, and poems in memory of those that have "gone on before us." Also poems of appreciation for our great country and those that have sacrificed and paid the ultimate price for our freedom. Thoughts in these poems come from difficulties and challenges and losses experienced while traveling her life's journey, and hopefully they will touch the reader's in a way to better equip them to face their own challenges and adversities. Strength derived from family and friends and Pat's strong faith has brought her through many difficult times and while she can't speak to "all" she is hoping through these poems she can show her appreciation for the part many have played in her life. For these she will be "forever grateful."

Pat's book "Poems For Conservatives" contains poems mostly in the political vein, most written the last couple of years as radicalism in Washington D. C. has shown it's face in such a devastating manner. This type of Government is not what the people of America are about or what they stand for--the vote buying, back room deals, and lack of transparency. Pat's poems reveal her belief that this great country is being taken down a dangerous path, and needs to be stopped. It's her opinion that if those presently in charge can get rid of the seniors through a Government run health care system that withholds valuable drugs and care and sends them to an early grave, they would have an open field to indoctrinate our youth who then would never know the great country previous generations have been privileged to know. Born into "humble beginnings" Pat has "always been proud of her country," unlike Michele Obama who stated a number of times "for the first time in her adult life" she was "proud of her country." The older generation is well aware of the price of freedom. They know about free enterprise, entrepreneurship, and dreaming big dreams. They know about failing. They know about determination. These things have made America great. Not the re-distribution of wealth, or big Government. Beliefs must be passed on about unlimited opportunities this country affords for those willing to work hard, pay their dues, and take advantage of the possibilities. Just get the Government out of the way. Pat feels we must pass on our Constitution, and values and pride in this country. We must pass on the America we have known. We can not allow any group to take away the rights our forefathers fought and died for and left in our care.
