I don’t know if I can call this a review or a boat ride that meanders through rushing waters of refreshing, untethered experiences. As I finished reading “My Inspired Life: A Poetic Journey” by author Michele Lee Sefton, the day was a cool, rainy day, and pausing as I sifted through her soothing words connected with my spirit on so many levels. Michele’s poetic epiphanies spill over into a fountain of cleansing resolve.
I was immediately introduced to Michele’s “intentional change journey” encouraging the transformational path of her readers. Starting with “A Story Set Free” to one of my favorites, “Making More Space for Hellos,” this is indeed a collection of relinquishing toxic people and escaping those things that try to steal our joy and tether our minds and spirits.
Her poems act as a releasing agent while words that once paralyzed her spirit, which all of us can relate to, are flushed like spoiled waste. Certain words come to mind when I read Michele’s poetry: melodious, captivating, growing, breathtaking, inspiring, releasing, compassionate, kindness, empathy, respect, and encouraging, just to name a few. Piggy-backing on the author’s parting words, this collection is an expanse of inspired spaces to pause, rest, take a deep breath, and become energized with a renewed spirit.
Continue to dance Michele, our free spirit!

What a wonderful surprise! Thank you so much, Kymbelina!! I am honored. I had not thought about that poetry collection in a while until Dawn reviewed it a few days ago. And now you. π How beyond fortunate I am to be connected to such talented and generous women. It is a special collection for me, as I created it to celebrate the one-year anniversary of my blog. That was two years ago. What a coincidence that it would show up twice this week, giving me reason to reflect and to be grateful for the meaningful connections I have made since starting my blog. I am grateful for your articulate and heartfelt words and will cherish them. Sorry… I changed out my image a few hours ago, not knowing you had linked to me. My apologies for breaking that link on your post. In gratitude, Michele π

I just logged off the last writing workshop, for the year. What an honor it has been to work with writers and storytellers from around the world and what a joy it is to be connected to writers and giving spirits, like you, Kymbelina. I am grateful, beyond words. I just swapped out a photo on my “Poetic Storyteller” page. Apologies if I caused you any inconvenience. Thanks again, for your kindness, generosity, and friendship. π
