I gave myself a year to write. To write and not stop. Since then, I have been brave enough to share my writings with others at poet cafes' and on my social media. Not knowing that I was impacting those around me I decided to enter the 2018 Button Poetry contest in hopes to conquer yet another one of my fears. The book is titled Epiphanies and the reason is due to the adversities that I have faced in this year alone which has led for revelations of new found belief to where I am.
