Food For Thought:

"How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment before starting to improve the world."
~Anne Frank, Diary of a Young Girl, 1952~

"I want a world of truth, not the hardness and glitter
A world that loves its colours and cherishes its youth.
I want a world of faith, all the broken and bitter
Held inside our hearts til its whole again
And I never loved so hard, never dreamed so wild
Til I saw the future in my child."
~ Betsy Rose~

More Food For Thought...

"Society reaps what it sows in the way it nurtures its children. Stress sculpts the brain to exhibit various antisocial, thought adaptive behaviours. Whether it comes in the form of physical, emotional or sexual trauma or through exposure to warfare, famine or pestilence, stress can set off a ripple of hormonal changes that permanently wire a childs brain to cope with a malevolent world. Through this chain of events, violence and abuse pass from generation to generation as well as from one society to the next. Our stark conclusion is that we see the need to do much more to ensure that child abuse does not happen in the first place, because once these key brain alterations occur, there may be no going back." ~(Smith, M. & Chapman, C. 1999) in The Silent Crisis: Simple ways to protect children from sexual abuse, by Amanda Alexandria Robinson.~

I'm a writer and advocate for survivors of child sexual abuse. My eclectic work aims to assist in Breaking the Silence on abuse through poetry & short stories/myths in verse.

My works also include topics of love, hope, prayer, anti-abuse, verbal & domestic violence, infidelity, betrayal, agoraphobia, inspiration, understanding & empowerment.

All featured video poems are from my book: "the heArt of my reVersing - a redemption song through original poems and short stories in verse."

For me, as a writer and child sexual abuse survivor, the painful but necessary journey of going back to face the past, or reVersing in order to move forward more freely in life, influenced the title of my book, " the heArt of my reVersing - a redemption song through original poems and short stories in verse."

What Book Reviewers of "the heArt of my reVersing" have said about my written work:

"...an incredible talent. She has a rare talent, special insights and a delightful way about her writing."
Dr. Cathy Kezelman, ASCA: Advocates for Survivors of Child Abuse, Sydney

"...a lovely way with words. Each section is different from the other. Surviving child sexual assault is a life-long quest."
Hetty Johnson, Executive Director BRAVEHEARTS.Inc Qld

...illuminating and thought provoking poetic verse that opens the mind and stirs the soul toward current long known social issues usually left untouched or silenced."
Ada Wright, Vusa Wai Tui Publishing, Sydney.
