Inspiration Point

After being laid off after many years of devoted service for the second time, I knew that God had a plan, and I turned it all over to him. This was a far cry from my reaction to the first layoff. I prayed a lot but was devastated, worried constantly, and my self-esteem was low. God still answered my prayers, and I found another job in the same field the same week my severance pay ended. When I was laid off again after almost eight years, I knew God was in control. Even though I was almost sixty, and the unemployment level was at the highest, I felt Gods peace. I now had the time to stop and smell the roses, as they say. This collection of poems, prayers, and reflections came about from my desire to get closer to God and to try to really listen to what he has to say to me. They were inspired by places, events, people, scripture reading, and meditations. These were all inspiration points that God used to speak to me. In other words, they were inspired by God. My hope is that in sharing my inspirations, others will find their own inspiration points.

Turning Heads: Portraits of Grace, Inspiration, and Possibilities

A foreword and afterword by the author describe the genesis of the book, her own experience with cancer and hair loss, and the brave women who posed for pictures.

Visions, Truths & Inspirations: A Life’s Journey with Bipolar Disorder

Mental illness should not be taken for granted or shunned. Life itself is a realistically painful journey without having the added burden of having to live it with an illness that still holds a stigma. Together with verses written during times of either side of the poles of bipolar disorder, Sandy tells of her experiences with those she lived with as family members as well as those with whom she came into contact. All this time trying to reach a level of a clear understanding of her own disorder. One which is also called an illness. Sandy’s trust was misleading and drove her to relationship after relationship of abuse and rejection, to include a rape by someone she believed would never hurt her. The faith she had in God brought her to an acceptance that her life was not only difficult to define but mostly one that was difficult to endure. But she never gave up.

Sandy’s doctors have found a more positive approach in treating her bipolar disorder. She receives an injection of Abilify every four weeks. In addition, Sandy receives an injection of vitamin B12 every month. Together they have been proven beneficial to her mental health.
