This book is about grief. It will touch everyone who has lost someone they loved. Karyn writes from the heart with painful honesty, expressing her experience of losing her husband, the love of her life. She eloquently conveys her pain, self-discovery and appreciation for her beloved husband, and speaks to her new life going forward without him. Karyn's poems show us that we must each navigate grief on our own terms. Her writing is rich... heart-wrenching at times, but always honest and often inspirational. Her poems will touch the hearts of all of us - those who have grieved, those who continue to grieve, and those who will face this journey at some point in the future." - Geri Mose Mahrt, fellow grief-support group member"Karyn Vampotic has frequently shared her poems with the bereavement support group that I facilitate each week. The participants in the group find the poems to be immensely powerful and profoundly accurate in reflecting their own loss and grief. As the leader, I can see that her reading of these poems brings comfort and is a source of healing for the group. I continue to thank her for the inspiration they provide and grateful for her willingness to share her very personal anguish. Karyn is a brilliant poet.

Smile And Say I'm Goofy Like That!
Many times, you do not see an introduction in a children's book, at least not in the ones that I have read. Because of the unique nature of this book, however, I believe an introduction will give clarity to the message it shares.Smile And Say I'm Goofy Like That! is about embracing the differences that we all have. Many children struggle silently. Many are teased and picked on in a myriad of ways. Many do not receive the love and acceptance they should receive from home. Smile And Say I'm Goofy Like That! speaks of the child embracing and accepting their whole self, including living for Jesus Christ. Having a healthy opinion of yourself and your belief in Jesus Christ, which all lives should be built upon, is an important part of true success. If you are living in the arena of love and respect for God's Holy Word, there is never any need to apologize for being who you are. I believe the words across the pages of this book will encourage and help all children. It is a fact that children are often treated unkindly if they are seen as different. It is also a fact that some commit suicide because they are teased and bullied. Many children live dysfunctional lives because they were teased and picked on. Perhaps the words on these pages will prevent a child from becoming a bully. Perhaps the words on these pages will save a child. One thing I do know is that if our children have good attitudes and perceptions about themselves and their choices, they are better equipped to handle the malice that is sure to come their way.Smile And Say I'm Goofy Like That! is a fun way to teach and expound upon the fact that we are all different in some way, and it is good, that it is good to live by God's Word. There are also learning incentives along the way. You can read it aloud or soft and gentle, or you can shout it to the rooftop. You can even get up and dance and roar it out! Either way, it is fun and interactive whether it is shared one-on-one or in a group setting.Enjoy!

Underprivileged Overachiever
Written with the ♥HEART♥ of a fighter! Readers unfamiliar with memoirs will be spoiled rotten by this book. These are quick short chapters with powerful impacts laced in every turn of the page."At age 14, I ran away, but not from home - because I never had one to begin with. At school I participated in every sport, club, and after-school activity, so that when the other kids finally left, I could settle in for the night by my locker. I spent my childhood dealing with gangs, drugs, violence, and my mother's mental illness, but the real enemy was always poverty." Y.A. Salimu almost feels too grown-up in this YA memoir as his compelling story occasionally shifts from gripping novel to raw ego, putting the reader right there in the city with him. Salimu's story is tough to listen to at times, but ROARS of laughter await anyone brave enough to walk in this man's shoes. Readers expecting a sad Oliver Twist tale will instead find a confident, talented protagonist who continually defies low expectations and inspires those around him. While there is language, sexual themes, and a full blown rape scene (did he really have to include the police report?) all of these are necessary and never done for shock factor. Underprivileged Overachiever is SHOCKING, but there are a butt-load of lessons to be learned here.
