Love Peace and Poetry: Poems and Motivational Quotes

by Sharon Johnston

It is a pleasure to see this longtime dream of mine come to light. I have always wanted to create a book of poetry. I began writing and journaling at the age of ten as a way of expressing myself and processing the things around me. It allowed me to express my Creative Energy and learn to be Free. Poetry to me is the biggest expression of Freedom. There is so much power in words especially words that are spoken from the heart. Poetry is a canvas for your life. It allows you to capture every minute, every moment, and every hour as it is being played out in the world around you. All you have to do is just start writing. This collection of poems was created to help inspire, motivate, and uplift every woman and girl. I wanted to share my journey and the role that poetry has played in shaping and molding me into the woman I am today. My life has been Poetry in motion and through my journals I have captured those moments with my words. My journey is shared in the words of my poetry with each life experience that becomes more profound to me as I realize the Eternal Peace that I seek resides within
