"Beauty for Ashes" is a poetry book that speaks to the continued healing from past trials, and the process of going through personal issues stemming from being human. Inner peace is something most if not all people desire. That desire may not always come out in healthy ways. Some choose to try to seek instant gratification in things that bring temporary relief. This deep desire to be at ease when dealing with the pressures of life, is a deep-rooted part of who God called us to be. Personally, I believe that though it may be hard we can tap into inner peace whenever and wherever we need it. That is mainly what this book is for me. I embraced inner peace during this pandemic. I became more centered within. The calmness I have felt even when things around have been chaotic has been indescribable. That’s the peace of God! My prayer is that you feel Him as I let you in on the pages of my journals.
