  • I See You: Don't Give Up (A Poem)

    Dear Listeners and Friends,


    Today instead of reviewing and discussing a book I am sharing yet again another poem. Recently,

    I have started writing my own poetry, thoughts and reflections and also creating my own quotes and words of

    wisdom. I am hoping one day to compile these words into an e-book or book. Dreams are never impossible if 

    you truly believe you can make them happen so always believe in yourself! This poem really struck a meaningful

    chord for me today so I hope that by listening to these words if you are having a particularly rough or challenging

    week that these words can give you some comfort, hope and bring some positivity into your day and week.


    Happy Listening & Take Care,

    Sophie

  • The Real Me: A Poem By Sophie

    Dear Listeners and Friends,

    In today's podcast episode I thought I would do something a bit different. Instead of sharing my latest book

    recommendation and review I decided to share a poem I wrote not too long ago. It is funny and rather interesting 

    one how this poem came to fruition and how the idea and inspiration popped into my head. I was lying on the sofa 

    one day reflecting about different things and suddenly the words that I am reciting in this podcast came into my

    mind. I wrote them down right away. First these words became a written poem on my blog post and then they became

    a short poem to share with my listeners. This poem comes from the heart and I hope anyone listening to this enjoys it.

    However, I am going to be sharing another full podcast episode on a book I just finished reading recently and I am looking 

    forward to sharing this review, discussion and podcast with you all soon! 


    Take Care & Happy Listening,

    Sophie
