Dance of a Rising Star: Poems and Life Reflections

Uprooted, yet still fulfilled. Sela has weathered many storms in her life, the passing of her dear son, both parents, five siblings, and over 60 relatives and friends. Sela has recently suffered a stroke that has caused partial blindness of both eyes and a multitude of physical disabilities. Her home has been foreclosed, possessions taken away, yet, despite all of these challenges she maintains her faith and belief in the power of Almighty God in her life. In spite of her world being tossed upside down, Sela continues to dance to the beat of her own heart. She embraces her slogan, RISE*UP (Radiate Inner Self Esteem*Unleash Potential) and allows God's light to shine through her. We all fall sometimes, but Sela understands that it is how you rise after the fall that truly defines just who you are.
