Early readers of Diamond Chips have offered the following reactions:

“I have spent time with these poems. I LOVE them. They are so open ended for personal application that they work perfectly for self-reflection and meditation. I will continue to spend more time with them as they deserve more than a read. They deserve time!”

“Thank you so much for the opportunity to read, enjoy and contemplate this beautiful poetry. I am struck by your natural ability to remind the reader that we aren’t limited to five senses…each word reminds us of the energy associated with them, which creates a unique memory for each reader. The poem titled “I Almost Forgot to Remember Again” is a gentle reminder to embrace those details that re-create the memory and all the feelings associated with them.”

“The understanding that communication through energy is powerful and comes from every living thing allows us to experience the world more vibrantly and more respectfully. Hug a tree limb, become that fool and know. I love the way the reader is given permission to become that fool, because society does not embrace the important energy of all things that have life. Once we do, there will be very different decisions made by the Seven.

“I love these poems; they move me each time I experience them. They bring life, vibrancy, curiosity and lessons to my spirit.”

“Your poems are true and honest.”
