I have been writing poetry since high school. My first poetry collection "Life Through Celestial Lenses" was published in October of 2012. My second poetry collection "The Darkness, The Light, and The Glory" was published in May of 2013. It was a long road from scribbling in my notepad to becoming a published author. The key is perseverance and networking. I believe that words contain so much power and I try to use them to inspire and encourage. I have been blessed with a love for poetry and writing. My foremost desire is give honor and glory to God. He blessed me with gifts and talents that I have.
