Official Apex Reviews Rating:



In this day and age, struggle is something with which a multitude of people are becoming increasingly familiar. Financial worries, job losses, and lack of affordable health care - just to name a few - are problems that continue to plague individuals and families all over the world, and it’s often difficult to maintain the requisite strength and resolve to survive the troubling times.

In the pages of Perseverance From The Heart, though, poet Patrice Watley-Hall provides readers with just what they need to face - and overcome - the various challenges that life may throw their way. Tackling a wide range of topics, including everything from hopelessness to heartbreak to grieving the death of a loved one, Perseverance is a comprehensive poetic cure-all for the everyday blues that we all face in some way or another. Written in straightforward, yet powerful language, each of the pieces in Watley-Hall’s collection is designed to encourage, inspire, and ultimately empower the more disheartened among us, offering the stark reminder that the shadows of our present don’t have to darken the days of our future.

Perseverance also proffers tribute to those whose omnipresent strength deserves special recognition, particularly mothers and women in general. In touching fashion, Watley-Hall duly honors the “anchors” of our lives without whom we likely wouldn’t have endured the storms of our past.

A moving, insightful poetic collection, Perseverance From The Heart is a welcome addition to the world of poetry sure to be embraced by lovers of quality inspirational literature. Strongly recommended.

Thanks,

Paper War

I've been waging a war on paper the last few days. So far, paper is winning. The more I clean up, the more of it I find. The problem is, for much of it, I feel an obligation to do a thorough examination and decide whether or not it's worth keeping.

The mailperson is my enemy. He, sometimes she, keeps leaving more paper in my mail box. I'm not talking about my Christmas cards, which I cherish, but all the other stuff dropped off for me to sort out. At times it's torture to come home and see the new pile the DH has set on the kitchen table.

I've discovered tons of magazines over a year old. They were trying to hide in a magazine holder on the side of the couch, but not doing a good job of it, since they were spilling over. Of course, I decided to check the headings on the covers to see if some of the information inside might prove valuable. Wouldn't you know it, I was right. Many articles seemed to good to give up.

I've already mentioned here before about how I also have a compulsion to print out emails that seem important to me. The result is I have lots of important pieces of paper. When there's an abundance, which is the most important? And, where's the one I really need? It is a quandary.

What about you? Is paper your enemy? Are you also waging a war against it? Who is winning?
