REVIEW:

“PORCH POEMS” WRITTEN BY Shirley Mandel Satterfield IS A LOVELY COLLECTION OF POETRY ABOUT NATURE AND GOD INTERTWINING TO CREATE SITTING ON A PORCH DURING MORNING.

SATTERFIELD HAS WRITTEN SEVERAL “WORKS OF ART” PORTRAYING GOD AS THE ARTIST AS MOTHER NATURE PROVIDES ABSTRACT COLORS. ONE OF THE FIRST THINGS WE REALLY ENJOYED READING “PORCH POEMS” WAS MANDEL’S ABILITY TO USE HER OWN PAINTBRUSH WITH CHOSEN WORDS IN EACH POEM.

SATTERFIELD WRITES A COLLECTION OF BEAUTIFUL POEMS TAKING US HOME BOUND. WE CAN’T HELP BUT APPRECIATE HER INSPIRING DETAIL OF EACH THING YOU MIGHT SEE WHILE SITTING ON A PORCH BREATHING IN THE MORNING AIR OR WATCHING THE SUNRISE. MANDEL CARRIES YOU ON A JOURNEY THROUGH GOD’S CREATIONS WITH A POEM FOR EACH SEASON.

SMELL THE AIR, FEEL THE WEATHER, APPRECIATE THE SUNSHINE. WE STRONGLY SUGGEST READING ONE OF THESE POEMS EVERY MORNING TOUCHING YOUR DAY WITH A SENSE OF HEAVEN.

SAY YOUR MORNING PRAYERS OR MEDITATE BEFORE READING ANY OF THESE “CREATIVES” IN THIS WELL ILLUSTRATED COLLECTION OF, “PORCH POEMS”.

WITH A POEM SHARING A WONDERFUL VISUAL, DIFFERENT SCENES PAINTED BY SATTERFIELD ARE WORDS WHICH FLOW TO THE HEART, SATTERFIELD WILL TAKE YOU ON A SIMPLE JOURNEY WHILE READING THEM. THERE ARE SO MANY BEAUTIFUL, ORGANIC POEMS REFLECTING THE SIMPLE THINGS IN LIFE WE ALL TAKE FOR GRANTED, BUT SATTERFIELD DOES NOT. SATTERFIELD REFERS TO.THE MORNING CLOUDS BEING SHAPED LIKE “ANIMALS” IN HER POEM TITLED, “SOMETIMES A TURTLE.” ONE OF OUR FAVORITE POEMS FROM THIS BOOK IS CALLED, “MORNING BIRD”, WHICH INCLUDES THE FOLLOWING VERSE:

“I KNOW THAT MORNINGS ARE QUIET FOR A REASON,

IT’S THE STILLNESS OF A 24 HOUR SEASON.”

WHEN OUR MINDS HAVE BEEN SETTLED BY REPOSE,

AND OUR FEELINGS ARE COMPOSED.

THIS VERSE WOWED US, TAKING OUR MINDS INTO SIMPLE, UNINTERRUPTED THOUGHTS WE ALL HAVE WHILE WAKING UP FIRST THING IN THE MORNING. WE ALSO LOVED SATTERFIELD’S POEM CALLED, “MOTHER MORNING”. THIS POEM SHARES WITH US A LINE THAT STICKS; “AS MOTHER MORNING DONS HER ROBE”. YOU LITERALLY VISUALIZE WHAT IT MIGHT FEEL LIKE IF MORNING ACTUALLY WORE A ROBE AS MOST OF US DO UPON WAKING UP. ANOTHER POEM, “THE BOSS”, ALSO STANDS OUT, SUMMING UP THE QUIET POWER A “WOMAN OF HER OWN HOUSE” HAS. MANDEL BRILLIANTLY WRITES YET ANOTHER POEM

TITLED, “MUSING IN ISOLATION”. THE UNIQUE WAY HER WORDS COME TOGETHER CREATING A VISION IN OUR IMAGINATION IS SHEER BRILLIANCE.

ANOTHER POEM SATTERFIELD INCLUDES, :”LOOK IT’S SNOWING” MENTIONS EACH SNOWFLAKE BEING UNIQUELY SHAPED WHEN FALLING FROM THE SKY. WE FEEL THE COLD TASTE OF A SNOWFLAKE WHILE READING THIS, IF A SNOWFLAKE HIT OUR TONGUE. IN THIS POEM, SATTERFIELD TALKS OF A WINTER’S MORNING PLANS TO GO OUT, CHANGING QUICKLY INTO PLANS OF STAYING HOME BECAUSE OF A COLD WEATHER STORM.

WE HAVE DONE REVIEWS FOR SHIRLEY MANDEL SATTERFIELD IN THE PAST, LOVING HER WONDERFUL POETRY AND WORDS. THIS IS OUR FAVORITE POETRY BOOK BY FAR. “PORCH POEMS” EASILY GETS FIVE STARS. SATTERFIELD TAKES POETESS INTO A NEW LEVEL OF MEANING. “PORCH POEMS” BY SHIRLEY MANDEL SATTERFIELD IS A NECESSITY ON YOUR NIGHTSTAND FOR EACH MORNING! IT IS A MUST TO BUY IF YOU LOVE POETRY YOU CAN FEEL, TASTE AND TOUCH WITH THE WORDS CAREFULLY CHOSEN.

WOUNDS (WHAT DO PHYSICAL WOUNDS AND EMOTIONAL WOUNDS HAVE IN COMMON?)

May 4, 2021 by Samantha Leboeuf-founder/daily wisdom words, LLC

OUR DAILY WISDOM WORD TODAY IS “WOUNDS”. I AM NOT REFERRING TO A PHYSICAL WOUND, BUT THE SAME STEPS TO HEAL ONE, DO APPLY TO OUR EMOTIONAL WOUNDS. IF A WOUND IS BLEEDING, AND THE BLEEDING DOESN’T STOP, IT IS QUITE OBVIOUS WE NEED TO TAKE ADDITIONAL STEPS TO GET THAT BLEEDING TO STOP SUCH AS STITCHES AT AN EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT. IT IS NO DIFFERENT WHEN WE HAVE PSYCHOLOGICAL WOUNDS. IF THEY ARE NOT TREATED FIRST BY ACKNOWLEDGING THEM, THEN TAKING STEPS TO HEAL THEM THEY WILL TAINT OUR PERCEPTION OF OTHERS, LEVEL OF TRUST, AND ABILITY TO HAVE SUCCESSFUL RELATIONSHIPS OF ANY KIND.

LET ME WALK THIS THROUGH. FOR EXAMPLE, I HAVE BEEN SEXUALLY ABUSED AS A CHILD. I NEVER TELL ANYONE MY SECRET BECAUSE OF SHAME AND HUMILIATION. I ACTUALLY PUSH IT OUT OF MY MIND EVERY TIME IT SURFACES IN MY MIND. I CAN’T BRING MYSELF TO THINK ABOUT IT, MUST LESS GET HELP TO HEAL THIS WOUND. IT LITERALLY BEGINS TO BLEED INTO OTHER AREAS OF MY LIFE. I AM NOW IN MY FIRST SERIOUS RELATIONSHIP. HOWEVER, SOME PART OF ME “HOLDS BACK”, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT COMES TO SEXUAL INTIMACY.

I HAD HELD INSIDE WHAT HAPPENED TO ME AND BURIED IT, AND YEARS LATER, BECAUSE I DIDN’T TAKE THE NECESSARY STEPS TO HEAL THE WOUNDS THAT REMAINED, THEY WERE STILL RAW AND OPEN.

WHAT STEPS SHOULD I HAVE TAKEN? THE FIRST STEP WOULD HAVE BEEN TO ACKNOWLEDGE WHAT HAPPENED TO ME ALTHOUGH I DIDN’T FULLY UNDERSTAND WHAT HAD HAPPENED AT THE TIME. THE NEXT STEP WOULD HAVE BEEN TO TELL A PARENT OR ADULT I TRUSTED. THE NEXT STEP WOULD HAVE BEEN TO TALK ABOUT IT WITH A TRUSTED ADULT AND THEN GET TO A PROFESSIONAL EQUIPPED TO GIVE ME THE PROPER HELP I NEEDED. WOUNDS THAT ARE DEEP AND EMOTIONAL END UP BEING “REPRESSED MEMORIES” OFTEN WHEN NOT ADDRESSED ESPECIALLY AS A CHILD. DO YOU SEE THE SIMILARITY BETWEEN PHYSICAL AND EMOTIONAL WOUNDS WE GET? WE CAN’T LEAVE EMOTIONAL WOUNDS TO FESTER IN OUR MINDS EVEN WHEN WE PUSH THEM BACK TO OUR SUBCONSCIOUS BECAUSE THEY DON’T EVER JUST “GO AWAY”.

I FINALLY SAW A THERAPIST AS AN ADULT FOR SOMETHING THAT HAD HAPPENED TO ME AS A CHILD, IT WAS MORE DIFFICULT TO DRAG THE MEMORIES UP. MANY DETAILS OF THIS SEXUAL ABUSE CAME OUT I HAD BLOCKED OUT OR FORGOTTEN OVER THE YEARS. I LEARNED BECAUSE I HAD TOLD NO ONE AND THE EMOTIONAL WOUND CONTINUED TO FESTER, I WAS EMOTIONALLY UNAVAILABLE FOR ANY RELATIONSHIP. THE SEXUAL ABUSE WAS DIRECTLY RELATED TO ME “HOLDING BACK” EMOTIONALLY. IF YOU KEEP A SECRET TO YOURSELF, BE PREPARED TO DEAL WITH WHATEVER IT IS AT YOUR OWN CONSEQUENCES. THE SECRETS WE KEEP ARE EVENTUALLY THE DETRIMENTS WE EXPERIENCE OFTEN WITHOUT CORRELATING THE TWO. THAT IS WHY EMOTIONAL WOUNDS AS DEEP AS THE EXAMPLE I GAVE, NEED TO BE DEALT WITH BEST WITH A PROFESSIONAL PSYCHOLOGIST OR THERAPIST.

IN TIME, WE DO HEAL. WE RECOGNIZE DANGEROUS PATTERNS BEFORE THEY AFFECT OUR RELATIONSHIPS. WE THEN FIND STRENGTH WITHIN BECAUSE WE ARE GIVEN TOOLS AND SKILLS TO COPE WITH OUR EMOTIONAL WOUNDS.

THERE ARE MANY OTHER EXAMPLES I COULD USE, BUT I THINK YOU ALL GET THE GIST OF THIS. WE MUST NOT STUFF IN OUR EMOTIONAL ABUSES OR PSYCHOLOGICAL OR PHYSICAL ABUSE. ONCE WE DEAL WITH THESE TRAGEDIES THROUGH WHATEVER STEPS NECESSARY TO LEARN COPING SKILLS, UNHEALTHY PATTERN RECOGNITION, AND WORK TOWARDS HEALING, WE GO FROM “VICTIM TO SURVIVOR”! IN THE END, WE WIN. THANKS SO MUCH FOR READING. SAMANTHA/DAILYWISDOMWORDS.COM.

LIFE CAN BE FULL OF HAPPINESS OR TRAGEDY. IT IS UP TO US TO MAKE THE RIGHT CHOICES TO HEAL OUR EMOTIONAL WOUNDS. BENEATH THIS POST, THERE IS A PLACE TO “JOIN THE DISCUSSION”. THE EXAMPLE I GAVE IS TRUE, BY THE WAY. IF I CAN SHARE MY STORY, YOU CAN AS WELL. I AM NO STRONGER, BIGGER, BETTER, OR SMARTER THAN YOU. I JUST CHOSE TO FIND A SOLUTION.

DEFINITIONS PART 2-COMMUNICATION SKILLS-THE POWER OF WORDS AND THEIR MEANING

April 20, 2021 by Samantha Leboeuf-founder/daily wisdom words, LLC

WORDS AND THEIR MEANING HAVE STRONG POWER. THERE IS POWER IN KNOWING WHEN AND HOW TO USE THE DEFINITIONS OF WORDS. WORDS WITHIN THEIR PROPER CONTEXT OPEN A WHOLE NEW WORLD OF MEANING WHEN USED APPROPRIATELY. I COMPARE WORDS TO HAVING A LARGE AMOUNT OF TOOLS; SOME OF THESE TOOLS WE USE OFTEN AND SOME WE DON’T. IT DOES SEEM THOSE WORDS WITH APPROPRIATE MEANING GIVEN IN PERFECT RYTHEM AND CONTEXT WITHIN A SENTENCE OPEN DOORS TO NEW MEANING FOR THE LISTENER. WHAT WORDS WE USE DON’T HAVE TO BE THE WORDS WITH THE BIG PRONUNCIATIONS AND REDUNDANT SPELLINGS TO FLATTER US AND OTHERS. THESE WON’T BE THE WORDS THAT GET YOUR POINT ACROSS ANY CLEARER OR THE OVERALL MEANING OF WHAT YOU WISH TO CONVEY.

THE POWER OF WORDS AND USING THEM IN PROPER CONTEXT HAPPEN WHEN WE CAN DEFINE THEM AND KNOW HOW THEY ACTIVELY AND CORRECTLY FIT WITHIN A WRITTEN SENTENCE OR A VERBAL SENTENCE. WE MUST IN TODAY’S WORLD OPEN OUR MINDS TO THE MORE COMPLEX WORDS. AS EDUCATION LEVELS CONTINUE ON AN UPTICK, WHAT ONCE WERE FOREIGN WORDS TO SOME OF US, ARE WORDS WE USE IN EVERY DAY LIFE. IF WE ARE AN AUTHOR OR POET, BY KNOWING THE MEANING OF EVERY WORD POSSIBLE ALLOWS US MORE ABLE AND DESCRIPTIVE WHEN WE WRITE. THERE IS NOTHING LIKE THE FEELING SCRATCHING OUR HEADS KNOWING WHAT WE WISH TO SAY, BUT FIND WE DON’T HAVE THE WORDS TO SAY THE MESSAGE WE WISH TO DELIVER.

WORDS AND THEIR DEFINITIONS ALLOW US TO UTILIZE EXCEPTIONAL SKILLS WHEN WRITING, BUT ALSO WHEN WE SPEAK. IF WE ARE PUBLIC SPEAKERS WISHING TO SAY A SPECIFIC MESSAGE, WE CANNOT DO THIS AS WELL IF WE AREN’T FAMILIAR WITH MOST WORDS AND THEIR DEFINITIONS. WE ALSO NEED TO KNOW WHAT CATEGORY A WORD FALLS IN SUCH AS A NOUN, A PLURAL OR SINGULAR MEANING, A VERB, PLURAL AND SINGULAR USAGE, AND ADJECTIVES AND THEIR USAGE PLURAL AND SINGULAR, ESPECIALLY WHEN THE PARTICULAR WORD USED SLIGHTLY CHANGES IN SPELLING AND MEANING. WORDS AND THEIR DEFINITION ARE A MUST IN TODAY’S WORLD WHETHER YOU’RE A TEACHER, A POET, AN AUTHOR, A READER, AN ACADEMIC, OR ATTORNEY IN MEDICINE AND LAW, FAMILIARITY WITH SOME LATIN AND HOW TO USE THE DEFINITION OF A LATIN WORD TO USE THESE WORDS IN PROPER CONTEXT.

DEFINITIONS ARE KEY IN KNOWING HOW TO USE WORDS. IT IS WONDERFUL TO BE FAMILIAR WITH WORDS, BUT WITHOUT THEIR SPECIFIC DEFINITIONS, WE AREN’T ABLE TO USE THESE WORDS. WE MUST KNOW EACH WORDS DEFINITION AND IN CORRECT CONTEXT AND MEANING. KNOWING DEFINITIONS FOR AS MANY WORDS AS POSSIBLE ALLOW US TO BE MORE DESCRIPTIVE, ADDING MORE COLOR TO OUR BACKGROUND STORY AND MORE CONTEXT TO A STORY MAKING WHAT WE WRITE MORE INTERESTING. WORDS AND THEIR DEFINITIONS ARE ONLY AS EFFECTIVE AS THE WRITER, SPEAKER, TEACHER OR ACADEMIC USING THESE MEA IN APPROPRIATE CONTEXT. HAVING AS MANY WORDS AND THEIR MEANINGS AND DEFINITIONS AVAILABLE TO US, ARE LIKE A CONSTRUCTION WORKER HAVING THE PROPER TOOLS NECESSARY TO DO THEIR JOB MOST EFFECTIVELY.

NEVER UNDERESTIMATE DEFINITIONS OR KNOWING THE WORDS THAT MATCH THEM OR CONTEXT IN WHICH THEY ARE USED. THIS WILL BENEFIT US IN SO MANY AVENUES IN LIFE, ESPECIALLY WITH COMMUNICATING EFFECTIVELY REGARDLESS OF THE CONTEXT WE USE THESE WORDS. WE CAN BE A WRITER, OR READER TRYING TO COMPREHEND A WRITER’S WORKS AND CAN’T DO THIS AS WELL AS WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO IF WE ARE HANDICAPPED WITH A LIMITED KNOWLEDGE OF WORDS AND THEIR DEFINITION. IF YOU ARE A STUDENT READING THIS TODAY, I HOPE YOU WILL SEE WHY YOU NEED TO INVEST IN THE TIME INCREASING VOCABULARY OR EVEN PAYING ATTENTION IN AN ENGLISH CLASS IF YOU ARE YOUNGER. PERHAPS YOU WILL HAVE A NEW APPRECIATION WHEN YOU READ SOMETHING WRITTEN ABOVE YOUR COMPREHENSION LEVEL. THANKS SO MUCH FOR READING!

DEATH HOW DO LOVED ONES COPE LEFT BEHIND?

April 19, 2021 by Samantha Leboeuf-founder/daily wisdom words, LLC

DEATH MEANS DIFFERENT THINGS TO DIFFERENT INDIVIDUALS. THERE ARE FEW WORDS THAT I HAVE EVER DEBATED WRITING ON, BUT DEATH WOULD BE ONE OF THEM. I will start off with an acronym for death- (D)arkness (E)ternal (A)fter (T))ime (H)alts. This seems grim but I believe there is another step to this which allows us that allows our soul to be taken to Heaven and we return home to our maker. My acronym for death is for the few minutes we share with the physical entity of one soul who is now headed home. I think the hardest part about death is Why? “Why did this person have to go?”

It is hard for me to believe that the above analogy is it for us. How did we get here? Someone could explain science to me all day long, and never shake my feeling of the beauty of birth and the sadness shared in watching someone die. I lost my sister at the end of June this past year. It has had a grave effect on the lives left behind including mine. Hope seems dim where it once was light inside me. I. find myself sad a lot. I had a naive belief that I would just heal and get past this, but Ladies and Gentlemen, I am here to share with you if you have lost someone close to you yet, you will understand my feelings better. Sometimes Jenny’s death does not seem real. I look at all the results her love she had in great abundance is not simple at all. She left “ripples” in other’s lives which at the moment feel like huge holes.

She left behind so many including me who loved her so. I feel like it’s okay to be so sad about her loss as long as I am careful not to share it with others even closer to her. She fed love to others through her music. She made love happen in a family unit she created. She was powerful and had the ability to change someone’s life for the better. Not only could she be trusted, but she was also so passionate in all she said. I doubt a “fake” word ever came out of her mouth. She had amazing self-control. She could hold out from doing the wrong thing for the overall good. She was truly powerful. “As they say, we get back two-fold what we give. Jenny created spades.

She was a lover of mermaids and the ocean and she was truly fierce. Why Lord did I not see this so clearly while she was here? I should have told her more often just how proud I was and how thankful I was to have her as my sister. Her husband she married, was truly the love of her life. These were her words, not mine. How do we get used to speaking of her in the past tense? When will the “is” become “was”, naturally? The thing that happens when these individuals die, is what is called “the rippling effect”. Our family life and her friends and husband will forever be changed from their interactions and moments shared with her. She wasn’t afraid to live LIFE. She took the kind of chances that were known as high risk, high reward. She had the bravery to do so while I played it safe.

Her daughters (my nieces) are so beautiful and in each of them, you see some of her. She made the time for what she needed to. She made loyal and true friends and many of them. I am lucky to find a few. Family to her was her friends as her extended family. Her actions told her story. Her smile, so strained this past year from pain, lit up a room and her laugh made others do the same. They say we idealize those who die. Every word I have written here is the truth. Today, call someone who lives out of state that is part of your family how much you “love them”. I was even there when Jenny passed away, her beautiful blue eyes so full of life, slowly moved forward to another place. I call it heaven and I believe she had an “all-access” pass to it.

A HIGHER CONVERSATION – ANOTHER WAY TO BE HUMAN

December 28, 2020December 28, 2020 by Samantha Leboeuf-founder/daily wisdom words, LLC

AUTHOR: NEIL DAVID CHAN

TITLE: A HIGHER CONVERSATION - ANOTHER WAY TO BE HUMAN

NUMBER OF PAGES: 157

GENRE: BIOGRAPHY, METAPHYSICAL, SPIRITUAL

PURCHASE ON AMAZON: https://www.amazon.com/A-Higher-Conversation/dp/1645363813

REVIEW:

Author, Neil David Chan brings a spiritual, metaphysical enlightening book to the table in this deep, meaningful book, A Higher Conversation-Another Way To Be Human. The book is written in a literal, philosophical, knowledgeable composition made up of three parts: the mind, physical body and soul. According to Chan, most of us operate using only our mind and body, without connecting to a third pat of who we are, our soul.

Chan believes, our soul is a way to tap into many answers in life including our physical health, answers to humanity and evolution, cure for depression, violence connected to an attachment, to separation, money and material possessions which absorbs the majority of our species today. Much of Chan’s Book, ‘A Higher Conversation-Another Way To Be Human” uses examples from the Bible, Big Bang Theory and history itself. Chan uses his favorite passages from the Bible as part of answers given by our “ancient ancestors” in the the old and New Testaments.

I was in awe of Chan’s gift using analogies, acronyms and solid, understandable examples supporting his explanation of some of life’s most complex concepts when having conversations with his soul. Chan does an outstanding job painting a picture of just how powerful one of humanities biggest issues “separation” preceding a multitude of issues on a global scale beginning with our own family unit can be. Chan believes and makes legitimate points backed with thousands of years of history how this “separation” started which has lead us on a path of destiny pursuing more “possessions”, which we do not take with us when we die.

Chan suggests that without connecting to our soul, which is a choice made daily, we operate in our lives with only our mind and body. By never connecting with our own soul, the third and most integral part of who we are, begins separation from our family leading to a separation from knowledge which can be gained and solved in our lifetime living a life full of peace, joy and fulfillment We are separated from this because of this lack of connection to our third, cohesive part, our soul.

Chan also makes the point of “color” simply being six elements of pigment based on how close we live to the equator adjusting in lightness or darkness for our need for folic acid and vitamin D. The color of one’s skin should have no impact on who we are as people and our equality shouldn’t play a role either. Our color to our soul is a non-issue because the soul recognizes only the Language of “feeling”.

It took me thirteen hours to read this book because I found myself reading many parts of it with sheer fascination and awe in Chan’s ability to provide answers to the worlds most complex yet fundamental issues starting within one’s soul connected to mind and body as a whole. On a personal note, Chan’s book gave answers I needed to explain more of myself and experiences I’ve had in the past. Because of this, I felt myself connecting to Chan’s book in a way I normally don’t connect or relate with when doing a book review.

I want to point out that I myself have spoken to my own soul I believe after reading this book. I have done so without recognizing it was my soul. I simply use the word “God” instead of soul. This voice of feeling revealed answers until my last ten years of disconnection from my soul without even realizing I had done so. Chan’s book, A Higher Conversation,-Another Way To Be Human, gave me answers to the voice inside who spoke to me through feeling with answers for intellectual and spiritually meaningful questions I asked. I immediately began receiving answers to questions I have asked myself in the past.

Our soul speaks in a voice of feeling which came from a voice at the time I didn’t recognize so I began tuning this voice out. Chan remarkably did the honor of having me review his book because of past personal experiences. I had moved away from the voice of my own soul years ago not comprehending at the time what or who was speaking to me. I will now choose to move toward it, because I read this book and do believe much of what I have read in Chan’s book.

I was beyond impressed with Chan’s ability to simplify highly debated concepts in today’s world with logical answers given to him from his own conversation with his soul which he practices connecting with over time, tuning into his soul as we do a radio frequency. We are either “reacting or creatively moving forward” depending on which illusion we operate in or our alternate realities.

Chan believes our bodies are born “perfect” and we even have the ability to live 400 years as our ancient ancestors did if we remain focused on a higher plane of consciousness through spiritual metaphysics. Human cells are rebuilding, and multiplying constantly and eternal life can be found through a higher level of thinking, when the soul, mind and body are operating collectively. Chan suggests, We must center ourselves to connect our mind and body with our soul as one and we do not have to “do” anything to “get” anything.

Chan also states that possession, color, and separation are playing the majority role in our world today. We alternate between roles of villain and villainess reversing these roles. Ofter times we are creating different illusions through these roles. Illusion is sheer attachment to money, leading to division, separation, health and aging based on “ideology and human concept”.

Chan states we use “technology” that is ultimately wiping out evolution and its prime directive. According to answers Neil Chan has received from his soul, “we do not have much time”. We need to make changes and make them efficiently, and quickly. We need to think of ourselves as part of a collective “sum” to connect to one another in this universe.

This book is filled with so much knowledge and power which we can find through humility and humanity, insight, vision, and wisdom which supports a future and also envisions our future without change. Chan has gained insight in his wold travels finding that 6,000 plus different languages throughout the world are overrated when communicating. In fact, language again, promotes separation. I have done many reviews but few have given me the insight Neil Chan’s book,

“A Higher Conversation-Another Way To Be Human” has in a way I understood.

This book gets a review of five stars for its insight, answers, alternatives offered and simplicity in explanation to coexist as a small part of a whole part. The wisdom shared in this book will give answers to fundamental questions we all ask. It is my opinion this book therefore receive our highest honor, five stars.

Purchase now on Amazon to see your own future in connection with insight drawn from Neil David Chan’s Book, “A Higher Conversation, Another Way To be Human” and begin a conversation by tuning into your soul now, before it is too late to do so.

CHRISTMAS EVE AND JENNY

December 24, 2020 by Samantha Leboeuf-founder/daily wisdom words, LLC

MERRY CHRISTMAS-EVE! BECAUSE OF FAMILY IN TOWN, I WON’T BE POSTING TOMORROW! CHRISTMAS-EVE IS SO SPECIAL TO ME STARTING WITH MY OWN CHILDHOOD. MY MOTHER, ALTHOUGH WE WERE CERTAINLY NOT RICH, ALWAYS MADE CHRISTMAS SO SPECIAL FOR US. I WAS VERY VERY CLOSE WITH MY LITTLE SISTER, WHO MANY OF YOU KNOW DIED THIS YEAR FROM ORAL CANCER PASSING AWAY ON JUNE 27TH, 2020.

AS KIDS, WE CONSTANTLY PLAYED TOGETHER. WE WERE QUITE CREATIVE! WE WOULD WRITE PLAYS ACTING THEM OUT, AS EARLY AS 6 AND 9 YEARS OF AGE, MAYBE EVEN EARLIER. WHAT SEPARATED JENNY AND I AS I CALLED HER, WAS AN AGE DIFFERENCE OF JUST OVER 3 YEARS, 3 YEARS, 2 MONTHS, TO BE EXACT. IT DIDN’T MATTER. WE GOT ALONG SO WELL AND THE MEMORIES MADE ARE FOREVER IN MY HEART. I WILL HOLD EVEN TIGHTER TO THESE MEMORIES WITHOUT HER THIS FIRST CHRISTMAS. WE PLAYED SCHOOL, AND I WAS THE TEACHER! WE HAD GIRLS THAT LIVED NEXT STORE TO US THAT OFTEN CAME OVER TO PLAY AS WELL, MAKING OUR CLASSROOMS AND PLAYS EVEN LARGER. IT IS SO FUNNY HOW WE COULD CREATE SO MUCH..EVEN THOUGH WE WERE HALF-SISTERS, (WHICH I DIDN’T KNOW UNTIL I WAS 11 YEARS OF AGE), WE WERE SO CLOSE. AS WE GREW UP, WE WOULD HAVE PERIODS OF SEPARATE INTERESTS STARTING WITH ME IN MIDDLE SCHOOL.

AT THAT TIME, SEVENTH AND EIGHTH GRADE WAS HELD AT A SEPARATE SCHOOL. AT THE END OF YOUR SIXTH GRADE, YOU WERE MOVED FROM ELEMENTARY SCHOOL TO MIDDLE SCHOOL FOR TWO YEARS. THIS ENCOMPASSED SEVENTH AND EIGHTH GRADE FOR ME, AND THIS WOULD BE WHEN JENNY AND I TEMPORARILY HAD DIFFERENT INTERESTS. HONESTLY, I ALWAYS FELT DIFFERENT FROM EVERYONE ELSE. I FELT INSECURE, AND AWKWARD, BEING TALL AND CHUBBY OR SO I THOUGHT. THE FRIENDS I HAD WERE THE GIRLS NEXT STORE WHO WERE SISTERS THEMSELVES. ONE OF THEM WAS A BULLY AND WEEKLY, SHE WOULD BEAT ME UP, ABUSE ME AND I LIVED IN FEAR OF HER. THE OTHER SISTER WAS MY BEST FRIEND, AND MY SAME AGE. THEY ALSO WERE HALF-SISTERS IRONICALLY.

OUR HOME IN PHOENIX WAS CLOSE ENOUGH TO WALK TO SCHOOL ALL OF ELEMENTARY, MIDDLE AND HIGH SCHOOL. MANY ISSUES I HAD DID HAVE TO DO WITH SHELLY, THE OLDER SISTER NEXT STORE. ON THE WAY HOME, SHE WOULD OFTEN BEAT ME UP. KAREN, WHO WAS MY BEST FRIEND, REALLY DIDN’T KNOW HOW TO DEAL WITH THIS. SHELLY WAS OLDER, AND KIND OF RULED THE ROOST THROUGH INTIMIDATION. SHELLY WOULD TAKE MY LUNCH OUT OF MY HANDS, AND IF I HAD ANYTHING SHE WANTED, SHE WOULD TAKE IT. THEY WERE FINANCIALLY BETTER OFF THAN US, SO OFTENTIMES I WOULD FIND MYSELF SCRAPPING UP LOOSE CHANGE AROUND THE HOUSE. ONE YEAR WHEN I WAS ELEVEN, I SAVED ALL YEAR THROUGH FOR CHRISTMAS. JENNY AND I WERE BOTH SAVING EVERY PENNY WE COULD DOING ANYTHING WE WERE ABLE TO EARN MONEY. I WANTED EVERYONE THAT YEAR IN MY FAMILY TO HAVE NICE CHRISTMAS GIFTS. I MENTIONED TO KAREN, SHELLY’S LITTLE SISTER, I HAD SAVED $90 ROUGHLY AND SOMEHOW SHELLY FOUND OUT. WE HAD AN OPEN DOOR POLICY WITH SHELLY AND KAREN. ONE DAY, WHEN THE FAMILY WAS GONE, RIGHT AFTER SHARING THIS INFORMATION WITH KAREN, MY MONEY WENT MISSING ONE DAY WHEN WE WERE NOT HOME. I KNEW SHELLY HAD TAKEN IT, BUT WAS AFRAID TO SPEAK UP FOR MYSELF. WHAT I DID NOT KNOW IS YEARS OF THIS, STUFFING MY FEELINGS HAD BUILT UP INSIDE ME. ONE DAY IN EIGHTH GRADE, SHELLY BEGAN THE USUAL BULLYING. I FINALLY STOOD UP TO HER, AND INSTEAD OF HER BEATING ME UP, I BEAT HER UP AND SHE NEVER TOUCHED OR ABUSED ME AGAIN. THIS GAVE ME LONG OVERDUE CONFIDENCE AND BY THE TIME I WAS A FRESHMAN STARTING HIGH SCHOOL I WAS STRONGER WITHIN. I WAS DIFFERENT FROM OTHER KIDS, ESPECIALLY BEING A VERY SENSITIVE CHILD. I STARTED TO EMBRACE MY UNIQUENESS IN HIGH SCHOOL AND BECAME FRIENDS WITH SOME VERY POPULAR PEOPLE. THEY ALWAYS SAID HI TO ME AND I WOULD BE SO HAPPY I WAS MAKING NEW FRIENDS, ALTHOUGH KAREN AND I REMAINED CLOSE. I WAS PRETTY WELL LIKED IN MY JUNIOR-SENIOR YEAR AND MANY PEOPLE THOUGHT I WAS A “HUMOROUS” PERSON. I LOVED IT AND BECAME QUITE THE HAM.

EVERY YEAR AT CHRISTMAS TIME, JENNY AND I WOULD REBOND. WHEN I WAS 15, I MET MY FIRST SERIOUS BOYFRIEND, ROD. MY FAMILY DID NOT CARE FOR HIM. MY MOTHER WENT SO FAR AS TO RESTRICT ME FROM SEEING HIM. JENNY KNEW EVERY SINGLE PERSONAL DETAIL ABOUT ME, AND NEVER ONCE SHARED THEM WITH ANYONE ELSE. I DEVELOPED AN UNDYING TRUST WITH HER. WHEN I WAS A SENIOR, JENNY WAS A FRESHMAN AT THE SAME HIGH SCHOOL. SHE HAD A MATURITY ABOUT HER AND LIKE TO HANG WITH MY FRIENDS RATHER THAN OTHERS HER OWN AGE. THEY LOVED HER. MY BEST FREIND IN HIGH SCHOOL OTHER THAN JENNY WAS SHELLY. SHELLY ALSO BECAME CLOSE WITH JENNY, BUT EVERY CHRISTMAS AND HOLIDAY SEASON, DESPITE ANY IRRITATION WITH FROSH JENNY, WE BONDED ONCE AGAIN. WE HAD TIME OFF FROM SCHOOL FOR THE HOLIDAYS, AND I WOULD TELL HER EVERY SORDID DETAIL ABOUT ROD, THE BOY I WAS NOT SUPPOSED TO BE SEEING!

WE HAD A WINDOW AND SHARED A BEDROOM WITH A BIG WINDOW LOCATED RIGHT OUTSIDE TO OUR BACKYARD DIRECTLY BY A FENCE WE BOTH COULD CLIMB. I BEGAN LYING TO SEE ROD. JENNY NEVER LET ME DOWN. SHE NEVER SHARED EVEN ONE SECRET WITH MY MOM. WHEN SHE WAS 13, SHE HAD HER FIRST SERIOUS BOYFRIEND, AND BEGAN SNEAKING OUT THE SAME WINDOW TO SEE HIM, CLIMBING THE FENCE, AND I RETURNED THE FAVOR ALTHOUGH I TOLD HER, “STAY AWAY FROM THE WINDOW. JENNY! IT WILL LEAD TO TROUBLE. SHE WAS OBSTINATE JUST LIKE ME AND NOTHING I SAID OR DID, MADE ANY DIFFERENCE. WE BOTH BROUGHT PLENTY OF TROUBLE TO HOME DURING THOSE YEARS. ALTHOUGH I APPEARED IRRITATED SHE’D HANG WITH MY OLDER CROWD, I LOVED IT INSIDE. JENNY WAS FULL OF LIFE AND DIVERSITY, MUCH MORE SECURE WITH HERSELF THAN I WAS, AND EVERYONE LOVED HER THEN AND NOW, UNTIL THE DAY SHE DIED IN JUNE THIS YEAR.

MY SISTER AND I TOOK DIFFERENT PATHS AFTER MY LAST YEAR AT HIGH SCHOOL AS I CHOSE TO GO TO COLLEGE TWO AND A HALF HOURS AWAY FROM HOME AND SHE STAYED IN PHOENIX ATTEND ARIZONA STATE FOR A WHILE. HER PASSION FOR ACTING, SINGING, AND FAMILY REMAINED. SHE MADE FRIENDS SO FAST AND HAD SO MANY THEN UP TO HER DEATH. HOWEVER, WE ALWAYS BONDED AT CHRISTMAS TIME WHEN WE BOTH CAME HOME OVER CHRISTMAS. WE WOULD SIT AND TELL SECRETS IN OUR OLD ROOM MY MOTHER LEFT EMPTY AND BOND. STILL MY MOTHER MADE CHRISTMAS SPECIAL FOR ALL OF US. I PROMISED MYSELF WHEN I HAD MY OWN FAMILY I WOULD DO THE SAME. I DID. JENNY ULTIMATELY MOVED TO LOS ANGELES AFTER HER FIRST MARRIAGE AND DEATH OF HER BEAUTIFUL LITTLE GIRL, HILLARY. HILLARY WAS THREE WHEN SHE DIED OF SIDS AND UP UNTIL HER FINAL DAY OF LIFE, HILLARY WAS TAKEN WITH HER IN MEMORY AND HEART. JENNY BEGAN STAYING IN LOS ANGELES OVER CHRISTMAS, BUT TWICE OR MORE A YEAR WE WOULD HAVE A SISTER’S VISIT.

IF I HAD AN ISSUE, JENNY WAS THE ONE I TURNED TO. SHE WAS AN “OLD SOUL” AND VERY WISE. I ALWAYS KNEW IN MY HEART SHE COULD BE TRUSTED. NEVER ONCE DID SHE LET ME DOWN WITH ADVICE, GUIDANCE AND TRUST. LIFE HAS EVOLVED, HER HAVING TWO BEAUTIFUL DAUGHTERS, MY NIECES, AND MY CHILDREN GROWN WITH MY DAUGHTER LIVING OUT OF STATE IN IDAHO. MY BEST MEMORIES WERE OF CHRISTMAS EVE, AND I AM EMBARRASSED TO SHARE I STILL SORTA BELIEVED IN SANTA UNTIL I WAS ELEVEN. WISE “JENNY” FIGURED THE TRUTH OUT LONG BEFORE THAT BUT THE HOLIDAYS BROUGHT US CLOSE ONCE AGAIN. I DIDN’T MEAN TO WRITE A NOVEL, BUT MY HEART TOOK ME TO THESE MEMORIES. I MISS AND LOVE HER SO VERY MUCH. THANK YOU MOM FOR ALL YOU DID TO GIVE US THE WONDERFUL MEMORIES WE HAVE OF CHRISTMAS AND ALWAYS HAVING TRADITIONS AND FOLLOWING THEM. YOU TRULY ARE BEYOND AMAZING, AND I LOVE YOU SO SO SO MUCH. YOU ARE SOMEONE WHO IS NOT ONLY A MOTHER, BUT A BEST FRIEND. GOD BLESS YOU FOR ALL YOU GIVE AND HAVE GIVEN OF YOURSELF. I WILL FOREVER BE IN GRATITUDE YOU GAVE US ONE ANOTHER, AND PUT A FAMILY TOGETHER LIKE GLUE. YOU ARE STILL HERE AND FOR THIS I COULD NOT BE MORE GRATEFUL.

FROM MY HEART TO YOURS, MERRY CHRISTMAS, HAPPY HOLIDAYS AND REMEMBER WHAT CHRISTMAS IS ALL ABOUT. FIRST, THE BIRTH OF JESUS CHRIST. BUT SECOND, THE MOMENTS IN TIME THAT WILL REMAIN FROZEN IN TIME IN A CAPSULE OF LOVE WITH FAMILY INCLUDING YOU. THIS LOSS HAS AFFECTED ALL OF US IS SO MANY DIFFERENT WAYS. JENNY, I WILL LIGHT A CANDLE IN HONOR OF YOU TODAY. MAY YOU REST WITH THE ANGELS AND WATCH OVER ALL OF US. YOU BROUGHT LOVE, LIFE, HAPPINESS, JOY AND HUMOR BUT MOSTLY YOU BROUGHT ENDLESS LOVE FOR ALL OF US. I THANK YOU MY LITTLE SISTER FOR ALL WE HAD. MAY YOU REST IN PEACE AND TRADITIONS CONTINUE ON WITHIN OUR FAMILY. GOD BLESS YOU ALL AND I DO LOVE MY MEMBERS AND TEAM WHO DESERVE AN EXTA SPECIAL THANK YOU AND LOVE ALL AROUND. THANK YOU TWITTER, FACEBOOK WRITERS WHO ARE MEMBERS OR WHO ARE NOT. MUCH LOVE AND MANY BLESSINGS TO EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU…SAMANTHA

SEASON’S GREETINGS! ALL MEMBERS AND FRIENDS, DAILY WISDOM WORDS, LLC/ BYE, 2020

December 21, 2020December 17, 2020 by Samantha Leboeuf-founder/daily wisdom words, LLC

THE TIME IS HERE, MEMBERS AND FRIENDS. WE ARE SPENDING THE LAST FEW WEEKS OF 2020 AS I WRITE THIS. WHAT A YEAR, LET’S FACE IT. WE HAVE DONE OUR BEST TO ADAPT OUR WRITING TO THE CURRENT EVENTS. COVID-19 IS MY FIRST THOUGHT THINKING BACK ON 2020. WE WATCHED A VIRUS TURN INTO A PANDEMIC. WE WATCHED OUR LOVED ONES AND FRIENDS SUFFER WITH ILLNESS FROM COVID AND POSSIBLY PASS ON. THE NUMBER ONE WORD I WILL REMEMBER ABOUT 2020, IS FEAR.

HONESTLY, FEAR SEEMED TO BE A HUGE FACTOR IN MY DECISIONS AS THE FOUNDER OF DAILY WISDOM WORDS. THERE ARE MOMENTS FROZEN IN TIME FOR ME. THERE WAS SUCH RESILIENCE AMONG MANY, AND SADLY MORE DIVISION BETWEEN THE PEOPLE AND POLITICS IN THE USA. WE DEALT WITH HUGE CONSPIRACY THEORIES, AND PEOPLE SADLY TRIED TO ACT UPON THEM AS FACT. SOME OF US WHO READ THIS STILL BELIEVE SOME OF THESE THEORIES, AND HAVE EVERY RIGHT TO THEIR OPINION. HOWEVER, TO ACT UPON IT AND CAUSE HARM AND DISRUPTION FOR OTHERS WHO ARE ASSUMED TO HOLD RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE CONSPIRACY ITSELF, IS WRONG.

WE WATCHED WHAT I REFER TO AS A “CIVIL WAR” BETWEEN TWO COLORS; THE RED AND BLUE. SPEAKING OF COLORS, WE WERE WARNED ABOUT A FUTURE PANDEMIC MANY YEARS AGO. WE NEVER TOOK IT SERIOUSLY UNTIL WE ACTUALLY WERE UNDER ITS CAPTIVITY AND STATES WERE DESIGNATED WITH COLORS RATING THEIR LEVELS OF COVID CASES. ANGER, SADNESS, HAPPINESS, LOSS, DESPERATION, FRUSTRATION, ANXIETY, DEPRESSION, ARE JUST A FEW WORDS COMING TO ME WHEN I THINK OF 2020.

MY LITTLE SISTER WAS MARRIED THE FIRST OF MAY 2019 TO HER SOULMATE. I WAS IN HER WEDDING, AND HAD HONOR OF WITNESSING THE BEAUTY SHE EXPERIENCED TOUCH MY SOUL WHEN I SAW JUST HOW MUCH SHE LOVED HER HUSBAND AND HIS LOVE FOR HER SO ETERNAL. I CALL THIS YEAR, “SEASON OF DARKNESS” WITH GLIMPSES OF LIGHT HERE AND THERE. THIS PANDEMIC BROUGHT OUT THE BEST IN SOME INDIVIDUALS WHO HELPED OTHERS BY GIVING OUT FOOD TO THE NEEDY. AMERICANS LOST THEIR JOBS ONE BY ONE. I MUST SAY, I STAYED HOME MOST OF 2020. I WORKED ON BOOK REVIEWS FOR DAILY WISDOM WORDS, I DID A LOT OF SOUL SEARCHING BECAUSE THE TIME WAS AVAILABLE TO DO SO. I BELIEVE FOR ME, A SOLID BLANKET OF DARKNESS CAME TO MY WORLD WHEN MY SISTER WENT FROM HEALTHY TO DEAD IN THE SPAN OF ONE YEAR DUE TO HEAD AND NECK CANCER.

I WILL NEVER, EVER BE ABLE TO FORGET THE NAME OF HER CANCER, SQUAMISH CELL CARCINOMA. I WILL NEVER FORGET HER TAKING HER LAST BREATH AND HER BEAUTIFUL BLUE EYES DROP FROM THE BEAUTY OF LIFE AND ANGUISH OF PAIN REP;;ACED WITH PEACE. THIS WAS THE MOST DIFFICULT PART FOR MYSELF IN 2020. CURRENT EVENTS WERE DAILY AND I FOUND IT SAD THE NEWS WAS FREQUENTLY MENTIONING THE LOSS OF SOMEONE, SOMEBODY OR A LOVED ONE. WE GAVE THANKS FOR THEIR LIFE NOW TAKEN FROM THEM UNEXPECTEDLY WITH CORONAVIRUS.

FRIENDSHIPS SEEMED TO COME AND GO. SADLY, SOME OF THEM ARE GREATLY MISSED. HOWEVER, I FINALLY FOUND MY TRUE “BEST FRIEND” ON TWITTER WHO JOINED DAILY WISDOM WORDS AS A MEMBER. REENIE, I LOVE YOU FOREVER, AND KNOW YOU CAME AS A HUGE BLESSING TO ME. THE DEEPEST PART OF ME IS ALWAYS TOUCHED BY YOU, AND YOU ARE A BEST FRIEND I LOVE AND HONOR AND AM SO THANKFUL FOR. YOU ARE SPECIAL, AND SUCH AN INSPIRATION IN EVERY WAY WITH YOUR ARTISTIC TALENT AND INTERNAL KINDNESS AND HUGE HEART.

I NEVER GOT TO SAY GOODBYE TO MY LITTLE SISTER. THERE WASN’T A FUNERAL AND I CAME BACK FROM CALIFORNIA, WITH HER NO LONGER A PART OF THIS WORLD. I MUST SAY A VERY VERY SPECIAL THANK YOU AND EXPRESS GRATITUDE TO MY DAILY WIDSOM WORDS WRITERS. MONDAY, AKA @mondaydpoet WAS THE BLESSING IN A VERY DARK TIME. MY TEAM RALLIED TOGETHER AND MONDAY USED THE MUSIC PROMPT AS A TOOL SO I GOT TO SAY GOODBYE. HE ASKED ALL MEMBERS AND WRITERS ON TWITTER AND FACEBOOK COME TOGETHER IN MY SISTER’S HONOR .

THOSE WHO WISHED TO FROM THE WRITING COMMUNITY, GIVE CONDOLENCES OR WR)TE A POEM ABOUT MY SISTER. HE WILL NEVER REALIZE THE GIFT HE GAVE AND MY DAILYWISDOMWORDS.COM TEAM HELPED AND POSTED SUCH COMFORTING, PERSONAL MESSAGES. I FINALLY FELT BECAUSE OF MONDAY AND ALL HE DID THAT WEEKEND, POSTING PICTURES OF HER, AND PLAYING SONG AFTER SONG SHE EITHER RECORDED OR WROTE, GAVE ME MORE THAT WEEKEND IN THE FORM OF CLOSURE I SO DESPERATELY NEEDED.

TEARS FLOOD MY EYES TODAY BECAUSE OF MY TEAM AND THE BRIGHT SPOT, AGAIN, MONDAY’S IDEA, RECORDING MESSAGES AND CREATING A VIDEO ON OUR WEBSITE DEDICATING ONE DAY OF THE MUSIC PROMPT IN HONOR OF MY BIRTHDAY. THIS TIME HE GAVE ME LIGHT. TWO HUGE GIFTS FROM MY TEAM AT DAILY WISDOM WORDS WHO ALL PARTICIPATED IN MAKING THE VIDEO AND ME SURPRISED LISTENING TO THEM, KNOWING THE MESSAGES I RECEIVED CAME FROM A PLACE OF LOVE. THANK YOU TEAM FROM MY HEART TO YOURS. WE HAD I BELIEVE FIVE DIFFERENT POETRY CONTESTS, AND EACH WINNER WAS AMAZING AS A WRITER AND PERSON. A SPECIAL THANK YOU IS OWED TO SHIRLEY SATTERFIELD WHO CREATED THE YOUTUBE CHANNEL FOR DAILY WISDOM WORDS, INTERVIEWING WINNERS AND AUTHORS, ALL YEAR ROUND. NEEL TRIVEDI, A MAN WITH A HUGE HEART BECAME THE OFFICIAL CEO AND CFO OF DAILY WISDOM WORDS. HE TOOK THE REINS AND DOES SUCH AN AWESOME JOB! THANK YOU NEEL.

THIS LAST PART IS DONATED TO YOU OUT THERE, OUR READERS OF NEELS WISDOMOLOGY PAGE, AND MY DAILY WISDOM WORD OF THE DAY AND SHIRLEY’S WISE POETS AND AUTHORS OF PRESENT AND PAST. THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH.

WE WISH TO ALSO EXTEND A HUGE THANK YOU TO THOSE OF YOU WHO SIGNED UP AS MEMBERS OF DAILY WISDOM WORDS. YOU HONOR OUR CORE VALUES. WE WERE ABLE TO STILL DONATE A PORTION OF ANY POETRY CONTEST MONEY OR SOME DONATIONS TO THOSE WHO GAVE FINANCIALLY DURING A HARD TIME TO GIVE. WE LOVE ALL OF YOU, THE READER, THE NEW MEMBER, THE AUTHORS AND THE BOOKS WE WERE BLESSED TO DO BOOK REVIEWS FOR.

A BIG SHOUTOUT TO MATTHEW ARNOLD, OUR ACCOUNT MANAGER FOR OUR HOSTING COMPANY! HE WAS AND IS ALWAYS THERE, DESPITE HOW BUSY HE MAY BE. ALTHOUGH HE IS JUST 31 YEARS OF AGE, HE IS WHO I ALLOCATE AS ONE OF THE “WISEMEN” OF 2020 GUIDING US WITH NEW IDEAS AND FLEXIBILITY.

THANK YOU SO MUCH TO ALL OF YOU, DAILY WISDOM WORDS MEMBERS AND FRIENDS, OUR READERS, THEIR COMMENTS, AND A BIGH SHOUT OUT TO THE WRITING COMMUNITY ON TWITTER WHO TOOK PART IN OUR DAILY WRITERS PROMPTS. HERE IS TO A BRIGHTER 2021! MAY THE LIGHT WE DID NOT SEE THIS YEAR, SHINE BRIGHTLY IN 2021. IN THE DARKEST HOURS OF THIS PAST YEAR, I HAVE FOUND WHEN IT IS SO VERY DARK AND SAD, THERE ARE PEOPLE LIKE MY TEAM AT DAILY WISDOM WORDS, LLC AND OUR MEMBERS WHO MANAGE TO ILLUMINATE THE DAY WITH THEIR OWN LIGHT WHICH SHINES BRIGHTLY. GOD BLESS YOU ALL AND MAY DAILY WISDOM WORDS, LLC BE A VEHICLE TO POSITIVE GROWTH AND CHANGE FOR ALL OF ITS MEMBERS, READERS AND FRIENDS. VIRTUAL “LOVE” GOES TO ALL OF YOU!

2019 Poetry Contest Winner – Guildford Windley

January 3, 2020 by Samantha Leboeuf-founder/daily wisdom words, LLC

In your eyes, I see the truth
For your soul does not hide the charade that you live
I know those insecure smiles and the act that you try to create around me
The standoffish when we greet are defenses to how you feel about me
Yet when we touch I feel so much those aches and pains—- Don’t push away
Don’t turn your back on how you truly feel
I see it in your eyes, for your soul does not lie
I understand your fear, I am also there
We are both on our own island — so all alone
How can we reach out to touch another how do we breach that void in our life- the loneliness the empty feeling inside that need for someone to love
Then I met you and my world change
For within you I saw a soul in pain, one in need of love, one in need of caring
One who could heal my own soul in pain?
Two soul’s join that can walk together on a journey through time—Hand in hand
Your soul does not lie, let go of the chains that bind you down— Let love flow in
Place your hand upon my chess, feel my heartbeat
Look into my eyes see my hurting soul
Understand we are not alone when we are both in each other’s arms
Let’s put our fears aside, let trust take place
We can build a bridge between our islands
A bridge of trust, caring, and understanding
In each other’s arms, we build a love to last a throughout eternity
Let go, my dear, of the fear, drop your pretense, let go of the charades
Take my hand come close to me
Look into my eyes and see
Both souls know the truth– its love.

Inspiration Poetry Contest Winner and Poem

May 1, 2019 by Samantha Leboeuf-founder/daily wisdom words, LLC

Lightning Strikes

sometimes
in the night time
a wanderer in the dark
a searcher in need of guidance
and sometimes
at the right time
LIGHTNING STRIKES
the whole world is brighter
for a flash then it's gone
but for that moment
the bolt is enough
to light the way home

sometimes
in a hard time
a traveler with a thirst
a crop in need of rain
and sometimes
at the right time
THUNDER ROLLS
the sky opens up
just a splash and it's gone
but for that moment
the drops are enough
to keep moving on

Stronger

Teased.
Made fun of, when there is nothing funny about me.

Picked on, laughed at.
Everyone laughing,
but me.

Surrounded.
Trapped by the stares, the snickers.
The haters, the whispers.

Every day, their words bang against my head,
Trying to get into my brain,
but I won’t let it.
The tears burn my face at night, cause I can’t forget it.
I perspire, my body cries, but I try not to sweat it.

Stop with the HATE,
the obsession over weight,
whether one is gay or straight,
so what I may be shy,
I am smart, not a geek
Just cuz I am not wearing Jordan’s, I must meet my defeat?
If I have a disorder, or a different skin color…
Don’t you sit there @ judge me, cuz this here is out of order…

Stop with the HATE
Yes, I practice a different religion, or I am from a foreign place,
Don’t criticize, open your eyes, you may find your faith,
I may have an accent, or dress differently,
Don’t you dare point those fingers at me.

I am not here to be judged by you
Before you go throwing in your two cents, remember your currency makes no sense. Your words are worthless. I am not con-tent; your bullying is nonsense, that I will not accept.

Because I am stronger.

It’s time for me to stand up,
Change my life for the better
Positively, with help, I will make my life better.

Because I am stronger.

Her Dark Kept Secrets

Decisions, conditions with infinite visions
Of life and our destiny
Creating suspicions subtracting additions
By the sound of her thundering seas

From the echoes from the deep that transpire
And as a volcano erupts through the night
Hiding the mysteries that consume us
That she will protect with all her might

Be it the sun or the moon or the stars high above
From the sands of the desert and oceans
Her secrets are hidden yes strictly forbidden
Dusted away through the times of erosion

Her disasters cause mayhem and fury
As the people take heed and they flee
When the hurricane storms up the coast
With the name that she boasts
So violent through the eye that she sees

Her eyes are her pools and her rivers
Her veins are her creeks and her streams
As she lies wide awake with every breath that we take
Confined in the midst of her dreams

Her heartbeat is the life deep within us
As a breeze kisses the leaves through the trees
For if you step in to close with the chill of her ghost
You’ll succumb to her death by disease

She gives us the power to thrive and devour
To discover her prophecies
But to never dissever not now or forever
From the depth of her thundering seas

So don’t ever meander in searching
For the meaning of life that we seek
Because you’ll be left all alone
Just a pile full of bones
With the secrets forever she’ll keep

Color

Color, color what is Color?
Is it a color describing the world we live in?
Color, color what is Color?
Is it an object, a place, or a human being?

Color, color what is Color?
Is it our ancestors, forefathers, or our hopes and dreams?
Color, color what is Color?
Is it a feeling, an emotion, or a personal thing?

Color, color what is Color?
Is it the cause and effect of life’s existence?
Color, color what is Color?
Is it a control substance, a time factor, or limited in distance?

Color, color what is Color?
Is it about family and friends, or facts and fiction?
Color, color what is Color?
Is it justice for all, or intimidation of discrimination, or education?

Color, color what is Color?
Is it about power and politics regulating differences of one’s opinion?
Color, color what is Color?
Is it a universe with no boundaries; just space and dimensions?

Color, color what is Color?
Is it about the reasons for the seasons of hot, or cold?
Color, color what is Color?
Is it decades, or centuries about being young or old?

Color, color what is Color?
Is it about Unity, Division or being a citizen in a community?
Color, color what does Color mean?
Where does it start and where does end…for richer or for poorer ‘til death do us part?
“Color” is of many metaphors as you can see. It creates challenges causing changes; which interferes in our decisions, our purpose, according to plan and direction. It is a major disruption attacking life’s balance relating to the Reality of race, our Sexuality and ones’ Spirituality…
