Other exciting news......

Here is my newly reddesigned cover for my 2009 book.  Brushing up on my MS publisher skills.

What do you all think?  

Feel free to take a look at my storefront on lulu.com and leave me a review.  It would be so greatly appreciated.  

I am super, super excited about releasing my next untitled book!!! 

I am pretty pumped up about the recent celebrity exposure of  "Trailing the Truth Fairy: A Poetic Journey" at the 2011 American Music Awards.

I am ready to bring in the New Year with a Bang!!

Give Thanks.

Today I give thanks for many things....family, friends, success.

 Most importantly, my family.  There is such completeness to life being part of a cohesive, loving unit.  The safety and protection that I feel is beyond words.  I know a few good souls have my back and I, theirs. 

Today, I celebrate my success however small it may seem to others.  I feel the magnitude of the fruits of my efforts and appreciate all of those that have encouraged me along the way.  Life is truly what you make of it and I am glowing right now.

 I am so grateful for the my friends who keep in touch, especially my far away friends.  It is so nice to be remembered and thought kindly of.

 My life, this blessing...is a true gift and I, a testimony to the power of prayer, faith, and love.  Karma has been my friend and I know no words to show how grateful I am for the paths I continue to take.  I appreciate the hard earned lessons and today I can say I am proud of the life I live.  Happy Thanksgiving, friends.  Let us give thanks today and every day.  May the festivities begin.

Brooke Hogan with MY book!!

Today is one of the happiest days of the year. Yes, really.  As most of you know my book was being showcased at the American Music Awards. It was in the gift suite.. and my poetry cards were in the swag bags that were passed out to the celebrities.  I can't even begin to tell you how pleased I am.  I have been working on my poetry and promoting my books since I began this blog a couple of years ago and being involved in this event has just brought my motivation to a whole new level.  I am beyond exhilarated and never really expected my poetry to go anywhere beyond this blog.  Thank you to all my friends who passed on words of encouragement along the way and supported my poetic efforts.  This is so wonderfully amazing.

 

There's my book....on the top shelf!!  Wow!!!

Mosaic of Sun

A mosaic of sun shines upon
the shadows of what once never was
yet those words I hear...
I love you so much
are words I shall bury and hide
on dark days there will be no need
to search and  to find
words, nurture and soothe

a much cluttered mind

in words a friend I find

...in words, a friend I find
I'll sift through the sand of a heavy heart
and scoop them up..those treasures of mine
"I love you so much"
...scoop them up those treasures of mine
oh my mosaic, you shine....

Postcards for the American Music Awards

Sweet Autumn

I vacillate between dreams
conscious and unconscious
of Autumn happenings
apple orchards, cinnamon donuts
pumpkin farms, hay rides
fall foliage of crimson and gold
breathtaking views
sweet aromas of apple pies
home cooked meals and hot chocolate
 I hunker down wrapped in my soft robe
tea in hand and pup at my side
my heart fills of happy thoughts
of this season so cherished
as I experience the moments of Fall
if only in my dreams

The Walk

I'm on this walk

this journey through time

where I exist only in the eyes

of the sincere observer

but there are so few,

so few who choose to see

and look for my truth

it is there for the knowing

but is that only knower me

I walk through days stormy

and welcome days serene

I make it one step at a time

as I free myself of judgment

and the sudden misfortune

of black coal actions and choices

that cast fire upon my

thoughts and perceptions

leaving me solo to clear the ashes

and nurse wild burns

of ego controlled actions

I concentrate - fully aware

of each step, each breath

as I walk, though

there are those times

when I must walk - alone

hmph

So, I'm working on creating  an inexpensive product to put in these swag bags for the AMA's.  So far, I've come up with cd sampler with a selection of poems or blank note cards with selected poems.  It would be way to expensive to give out whole books.  I just don't know which is best.  Any ideas?  Also, any other creatives out there interested in getting their creations out there, just email me and I'll direct you to my contact.  There's a cost involved but it's worth it if you're serious about getting your art, writing or whatever it is you create out there.  Anyway, back to looking for inexpensive note cards that I can customize ..... I think I can I think I can.....
