This book represents a tapestry of my life and the raw profound emotions of each situation that I was dealing with at each point of my life. Putting words down on paper made me acquire a sense of solace which in turn, came with a freedom of comfort. My collection of poems will resonate, with someone. Our voices were not made to be stifled and quieten down. They are made to be heard. Let us not be afraid of the dark to come into the light, let our dreams become reality, break our shackles, let us all rise like the phoenix from the ashes.This book is about the awareness of emotions in all aspects of our lives and learning how to find and explore our coping mechanisms. Moreover, not to be too afraid to discover our different ranges of inner moods. Therefore, look and seek help. Share our experiences, and capture each other's imaginations.About The Author: My name is Pauline Gilman nee Hanson, I was born in the parish of St Elizabeth, Jamaica. I am a mother of three fine young men and a grandmother to one grandson.My mother and father are from the Windrush era. I arrived in England in 1970 alongside my mother and sister, at the tender age of three years and some months old. We settled in the northern town of Huddersfield, where I remained until 1992. I then relocated to the south for several years before returning to the north in 2000.I have fond memories of writing in primary school especially writing poems. Unfortunately, my creative writing skills lay dormant until my late thirties when the love of writing started to energise me again.

New York Times bestselling author Ann Voskamp invites you to embrace everyday blessings and embark on the transformative journey of chronicling God's gifts. How can you find joy in the midst of deadlines, debt, drama, and even the death of loved ones? What does the Christ-life really look like when your days are gritty, long, and sometimes even dark? How is God even here? “It is in the dark that God is passing by . . . our lives shake not because God has abandoned but the exact opposite. God is passing by. God is in the tremors. Dark is the holiest ground, the glory passing by. In the blackest, God is closest, at work, forging His perfect and right will. Though it is black and we can’t see and our world seems to be free-falling and we feel utterly alone, Christ is most present to us...” In One Thousand Gifts, Ann Voskamp invites you to discover a way of seeing that opens your eyes to ordinary amazing grace, a way of living that is fully alive, and a way of becoming present to God that brings deep and lasting joy. It's only in the expression of gratitude for the life we already have, we discover the life we've always wanted . . . a life we can take, give thanks for, and break for others. Come to feel and know the impossible right down in your bones: you are wildly loved by God. As Ann invites you into her own beautiful, heart-aching moments of amazing grace, she gently teaches you how to: Biblically lament loss and turn pain into poetry Intentionally embrace a lifestyle of radical gratitude Slow down and catch God in the moment Not a book merely to read, One Thousand Gifts is an invitation to engage with truths that will serve up the depths of God’s joy and transform your life forever. Leave pride, fear, and control behind, and abandon yourself to the God who overflows your cup.

My Poetry is at times raw, sensuous, evocative, and guarantees a stirring of all senses. Some poems will melt your heart, or arouse you, others will leave you with a myriad of acute emotion. Others will make you smile, even bring tears to your eyes. Some I hope will provide comfort in knowing you are not alone, even when life is not always kind. I see us all as clay on a potter's wheel, life’s trials represent the reshaping of who we are, and that reshaping is never ending. My poetry reflects that truth, and expression of my experiences.. I do hope that you will join me as I share with you the journey through a particular time of my life, Author Patricia Stanway

This globe-spanning history of sewing and embroidery, culture and protest, is “an astonishing feat . . . richly textured and moving” (The Sunday Times, UK). In 1970s Argentina, mothers marched in headscarves embroidered with the names of their “disappeared” children. In Tudor, England, when Mary, Queen of Scots, was under house arrest, her needlework carried her messages to the outside world. From the political propaganda of the Bayeux Tapestry, World War I soldiers coping with PTSD, and the maps sewn by schoolgirls in the New World, to the AIDS quilt, Hmong story clothes, and pink pussyhats, women and men have used the language of sewing to make their voices heard, even in the most desperate of circumstances. Threads of Life is a chronicle of identity, memory, power, and politics told through the stories of needlework. Clare Hunter, master of the craft, threads her own narrative as she takes us over centuries and across continents—from medieval France to contemporary Mexico and the United States, and from a POW camp in Singapore to a family attic in Scotland—to celebrate the universal beauty and power of sewing.
