{"product_id":"9781450069939","title":"A Piece Of My Heart: Poems Inspired by Life Experiences","description":"I cannot write directly about myself. Because I am still continually learning more about me and who I am. I can only write and share some of the experiences that I have had in my life time. Hoping that someone else can be motivated and inspired by them.       You can say that I had a rich childhood. I think so. My parents had five kids, I was the middle child. I was expose to nature at an early age.Every summer my parents would send me to visit my Grandparents farm about 40 miles out of Houston. It was a very large farm with every  farm animal and creature it took to complete it.         In my adulthood, after getting married and having children of my own. I soon learned that life had many challenges. Some might call them ups and downs. I call them challenges. Because no matter what,they must be faced.In order to move forward and continue on.And not let them over take you.          After experiencing the death of my 89 year old mother, on August 29, 2005.I came to the conclusion that I had to let go of all my insecurities and look at life as an experience and a journey. I can say that I had never reached this point in life before.     It is my faith in God that keeps me going on. And because I don’t believe in a defeated life. I strive daily to encourage myself. To be creative in my thoughts as well as my everyday living.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e      My desire is to motivate my readers through my collection of poems. Hoping  they can relate themselves with some of the things in their life they might be going through, in the present or might undergo in the future. My incentive will be that, my readers will stay optimistic in any situation. My message is Restoration which is a promise from God.","brand":"Xlibris Corporation","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47155593183472,"sku":"9781450069939","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781450069939_p0.jpg?v=1763836803","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781450069939","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
