Secrets of a Heart provides a way of experiencing a method to put balance into our lives. The career should be important, but so should our private life. Our career is taking over our pleasure and happiness. What has the New American Way given us? Many Americans are experiencing the negative effects of globalization and worldwide development—A New American Way. My collection of poems, Secrets of a Heart, address the need and solution for couples experiencing company downsizing, family separation, and finally divorce. Why not reenergize yourself through poetry? I am a poet, wrapped in the trappings of this new culture, finding a way to embrace a difficult world while seemingly rejecting it at first glimpse…but even today maybe mistakenly assuming the worst, then attempting to adapt to its new challenges! It may help a reader to turn a negative situation into a positive quest for a successful life. Many other families have events in their lives they would change if they could. Individuals involved would like to put the past behind them, so they can move on. These poems are simply a way to experience this as a journey of comfort and encouragement. Secrets of a Heart may help someone to turn a negative situation into a positive quest for a happy and healthy life. More than anything else, a person should take one step, one day, one month, one quarter, and one year at a time. With determination, patience, hope, and support of those close, one’s dream of recovery can and will become a new start.
