A Potpourri of Purposeful Poems

During the blizzard of 2010, Belf rediscovered her poems in a notebook tucked away in deep storage, filled with life lessons. This collection represents a poetic autobiography of two decades of her life. The overarching message is that life is perfect and on purpose. The poems are clustered according to eight themes: Aqua Aliveness, Auditory Angst, Courage, Gratitude and Service, Mental Musings, Time Warps, Wisdom and Fun. Reading her words gives you a sense of who she is, what challenges her, and what she values. 

To expand upon meaning, she explains each of the eight themes along with details about the circumstances under which the urge to write consumed her. She also provides a brief context for each poem in which you assume her persona and engage in a multi-sensory experience through her eyes, ears and feelings.

Get ready to experience a gamut of emotion as you settle in to read and re-read 31 poems. Feel yourself trapped inside a paradox and learn how to escape. Muse what it would be like if rocks and humans changed places. Consider letting go of letting go. Play the ‘what if’ game. Find yourself in time warps. Watch the music, listen to the smiles, feel the sounds. 

In the Auditory Angst section, she bares her soul with her auditory challenges while battling progressive hearing loss. She wrote poetry to capture experiences filled with despair, frustration, humor, hope and peace. 

Her specialty as a coach is guiding people to learn their life purpose and as such she believe that that every opportunity brings wisdom and the possibility of advancement and spiritual upliftment. These messages shine through her words.
