In a world often marked by hurried moments and disconnected experiences, "Spiritual Rhythms: Poems for the Soul Part 1" offers a sanctuary of reflection and renewal. This collection of thirty thoughtful poems invites readers to slow down and reconnect with the deeper spiritual principles that can transform ordinary days into meaningful journeys. Each poem serves as both mirror and lamp—reflecting our shared human experiences while illuminating pathways toward greater compassion, purpose, and inner peace.

I bring a unique blend of spiritual guidance, professional expertise, and community service to my poetry. As a dedicated Sunday School teacher, I have spent years nurturing faith and spiritual growth in others, while my role as a sponsor in the 12-step program reflects my deep commitment to healing and recovery. My professional background as a labor assistance professional and certified California alcohol treatment counselor has given me firsthand insight into the struggles and triumphs of the human spirit, experiences that deeply inform my poetic voice.
While pursuing my studies as a public health major in San Francisco, California, I combine academic rigor with pastoral care, understanding that true wellness encompasses both the physical and spiritual dimensions of life. This rich fabric of experience—from the classroom to the counseling room, from recovery meetings to university halls—infuses my poetry with authentic wisdom and practical hope, making "Spiritual Rhythms" not just a collection of beautiful verses, but a guidebook born from a life dedicated to serving others and fostering genuine transformation.
