DOES EVRYONE NEED PURE JOY IN THEIR LIVES?
YOU BET THEY DO!!!!!!!There is a new book online titled Pure Joy by a Candian author named J.J.that is selling like hot cakes.Mark my words,this author will be the next Candian version of Maya Angelou.She hails from a small town in Port Perry,Ontario Canada.She writes poetry but definately not your every day poems.Her introductory poem entitled Sense Of Humor is amazing.Her artistry will bring you to your knees,make you laugh,cry,smile and will make you take stock of your own world and how you view all life has to offer in a new light.Her life has been transported from the written page and into your heart.Forever etched into your mind, body and soul.She talks about her love for her children,her new separation from their father and about the recent death of her father who played a huge role in her hemisphere of this little corner of the world.She also talks about how greedy family members become after the death and having to sell the family estate after 50 years.There is a poem in the book entitled HELL-BENT and it seems to sum up her goals in what she wants to set out to do.My favorite passage stems from that poem.It reads.......I''''m Hell-Bent on surviving
This new life that I''''ve found.
My name one day made famous
Much more than just a noun.
She reflects on her childhood in a poem entitled THE TURTLE.
It''''s is about growing up shy and turning into her turtle shell as a child and how she has come out of the shell as a grown woman.I think one of my all-time favorites is called PICTURES OF DESTINY.It is about her first love that she had as a teenager,how afraid she was to feel that love at such a young age.She eventually left her love to move out West in the early 1980''''s and started a new life there meeting her first husband and having 3 children with him.She returned to Ontario on her own after a 25 year absense and a lot of heartache.She ran into her first love in a grocery store one day and the old flame was re-kindled.They are now happily back together after all this time and are now extremely happy.She has eventually returned to having Pure Joy in her life and has blessed us with sharing her Pure Joy with the rest of the world.This book will take you with her on her journey and I found it a wonderful trip.I did not want to come back .If you ever buy a book online this one is a must read.Make sure you put it in your shopping buggy.You never know, you just might finally know what it''''s like to have Pure Joy in your life as well.
