Sparks of flames for change must be incited to cultivate Life's necessary levels of growth, maturity, peaks and plateaus. What this book can furnish will last a lifetime. Understanding how to become who you were intended and purposed to be is rewarding. To free yourself and recover from entangled webs is priceless. You are not expected to get there without some type of imparted teaching, guidance, wisdom, encouragement and instruction. Which means you have to depend on someone else's service of giving to you. However it is your choice of how you receive and if you receive. In our Living, we initially gain our character from repetitive perceived acts and instincts. Now we must learn, retrain or unlearn behaviors and manage them to determine our future. Want to change your future? Work on your character.

This is not a religious book, however it is inspirational to help edify you. Knowledge is power. Knowledge only comes from and through words, spoken or unspoken. Words are either accurate or ignorant. Why not let positive power come to you from accurate words and put a disclaimer and expel ignorant words from your repertoire. It's time to clean out our thinking and our imagination to live afresh and anew. 'Healthy Imagination coupled with Sound words of Knowledge produces Great Wealth'. Albert Einstein once said: 'Imagination is more powerful than knowledge.'

I chose this title because of a card I received after my twin sister Joan had passed away. We were separated in the third grade by our teacher. We went to different schools afterwards and stopped dressing alike. That's where my bitterness began. It was like losing my best friend. Upon receiving the card, "When life gives you lemons make lemonade." I knew that's what I needed to do. I wanted to end my bitterness and be better. Joan had several articles published in Gallup, New Mexico. She was able to choose some of my poems that she liked best before she passed. Through prayer and asking God blessed me to write poems. Sometimes I would wake up early in the morning and remember a certain poem that God had put in my heart and I would quickly get up and write it down, so I would not forget it. I have always enjoyed poems that rhyme. Writing poems and making them rhyme gave me much joy. Just writing about life through a poem can uplift, encourage, and perhaps let you see things in a different light. Once you seek and find where your bitterness may have begun you know you can overcome the problem. Trusting and having faith in God can help you discover and remove the bitterness in your life and forgiving those involved. You may also help others through a poem, a song, or words to encourage and brighten their day. This can also let them know that God cares, and you can go from bitter to better. Trust God always.
