Potpourri

Book excerpt: In Potpourri, you’ll find a thoughtful collection of poems and short essays that take you on a journey from the personal to the divine of a woman who is seeking truth and her place through the circumstances of life. Thought-provoking and funny, her point of view on a variety of areas of life may bring you to a new appreciation, new thoughts, and a new outlook on life. A wide-ranging contemplation of a surprising variety of topics include a look at law enforcement from the viewpoint of a wife and a moving look at aging. Her working out of a spiritual life will bring you a fresh perspective. Humor jumps out at you in unexpected places. A quiet joy weaves throughout. You’ll relate to the questioning of things from gossip to unicorns and may find your feelings and struggles put into words. At times, you’ll say, “Yes! That’s how I feel.” Throughout you’ll find a connection and feel you’re with an old friend. As usual, she ends her book with short, inspirational, and funny words of wisdom in her last chapter titled “ Kathryn’s Kwips and Kwotes.” Reading them is a great way to start your day or in those few quiet moments when you need a lift. This is a great book to take along when you’re waiting for the kids at soccer practice or at the doctor’s office.
