Note from the Author: Since I was a little girl I saw myself on one island and everyone else on a neighboring one. I didn't know how or why but I knew I had to reach them. When unexpected people started approaching me on the influence my writings had on them, I realized my work could be used as my bridge, my way of reaching others. I have always felt that my purpose in life was for me to make others know they're not alone in what they feel. And that it was my job to remove them from the mud if they were to ever be stuck. My hope is that these poems can be the rope, that not only the believers in Christ, can be pulled out of the mud with, but also the non-believers. May God be found in all your lives With all the love one could contain, K.J Psalm 9: 9-10
