What can words do? Everything. Words create our world for ourselves and others. Always captivated by language and beauty, the thought of having poetry, photography and the French language inspired this work; as well as mom’s inspiration to travel to Paris. This book is an anthology inspired from life and love, an idea from my first seventh grade poem that I thought was “publish worthy”. This, my first book, I wrote to heal and fulfill a dream. My days moved forward once I got the words written down, out of my heart and head. Please feel inspired by my heart in words and pictures in nature and the world. My intention is for you to heal through reading, empathy and inspiration so that you know you are never alone. As a Renaissance spirit, I believe we all have creativity, moments within us and can give the gift of our own heart to inspire the world.

“Inspired by a journey of healing, Chippendale’s evocative verses o er solace and inspiration to anyone seeking connection and fulfilment. This debut work is a heartfelt testament to the power of art and words-a wonderfully introspective read that reminds us we are never truly alone.”
