What To Read, What To Buy Before The Year’s Over

Hello friends, sneaking in here to post my last-minute review on Amazon on a book
of touching poetry that speaks of struggle and ends with Hope. I purchased it this
summer but had yet to take my thoughts to Amazon. I’m so embarrassed.

Well, better late than never.

I checked on the book an hour ago and noticed the price is lower than it was at the
time of my purchase. So this makes it a perfect deal for you. Hoorah— hurry *wink*

Anyhoo, here’s what I told prospective customers:

What to read, what to buy? This! Touching poetry
that speaks of struggle and ends with Hope.

Being A Woman— Overcoming —A Poetry Collection by Michele Lee Sefton is my
all-time recommendation this year-end. It’s a short poetry book I wish every woman
had in her collection. A masterpiece that resonates and stays in your heart.

AND the art— oh, my, Spectacular illustrations! A mother-daughter collaboration that’s
every bit a jewel.

Get it for the art; get it for the words. You will go right with this one.

Being A Woman— Overcoming —A Poetry Collection by Michele Lee Sefton is the
first book in a series of three equally engaging books. Give yourself the gift of this
remarkable book to empower your feminine spirit, join your voice with the Author, and
stay hopeful.

Men will also benefit from purchasing this book of touching poetry that speaks of
struggle and ends with Hope, as together we work to change old beliefs passed down
to us. 

I purchased the paperback and couldn’t be happier. Thanks for writing it, Ms Sefton.
Glad there’s more to collect. I highly recommend and give this book a ‘resounding’
5-star rating.

you see.

p.s. as of this posting, my review has yet to be published BY Amazon.


How was your Christmas? Merry and bright? Yay! Mine too. May that feeling never extinguish.

We have no snow here yet, but it’s pretty cold. And just when husband and I were up
in the mountains, a cold wind found me. Spent a couple days down with mountain chills. I’m all better now; good as new. 

Happy New Year to you all, my lovelies. 2023 is almost here. Stay safe. I wish you
miracles.

    Oh, gracious Selma, what a beautiful message to receive. I am deeply touched. I know Sammi Lee will be too. I hope that my comment communicates the gratitude in my heart. You have captured the essence of what I call our pandemic projects – projects that brought us together when the pandemic kept us miles apart. 💞 You have also astutely described the hallmark of much of my writing, including the novel I am now querying… even through struggles and darkness there is hope. ✨ Thank you for sharing my blog and honoring artist Sammi Lee and me with your generous and thoughtful review. 🙏🏻 Love the photo!

    I am glad to read you are feeling better after getting hit with a cold wind. Wishing you and your family a healthy and prosperous 2023!
