Pain can be a blessing depending on how we respond to it which can launch us into a healthier life, more intimate relationships or just even the way out of a dark place.

As with the author’s first poetry collection, After the Sixth Day: Notes from a Spiritual Journey, the poems tell a story. There are times we need pain to reach our happy ending because there is some growth that only comes from adversity. Download the sample to check out the introduction.
