The soul is trapped in our mortal bodies waiting to break free like a caterpillar struggling against the cocoon. Yet the soul will not be silenced. It whispers sweet messages of comfort and shouts loudly to get our attention. It is the best friend you will ever encounter. It is so befitting that the title of this book is "My Soul Speaks." One of Alice Walker's quotes is, "Out of unknowing and sacrifice we come, bearing our wounds, our wonders, and our gifts." This book is born of all of this and more. "My Soul Speaks" takes you on a journey that scratches the surface of the soul in a rhythmical creation of beauty in words (Edgar Allen Poe). Sit back and enjoy the ride. Your soul might just connect with the soul of the author in ways you may never expect.
