Grateful for Life: Book 1 - Paperback

Diane's writings are a genuine mental vacation. You actually forget all your troubles while reading her writings. That is a gift for our times. Her readers say many of her stories/poems have them laughing out loud, and yes, tears arrive at poignant moments. A common response is, "I felt as if I was right in your story!"

In this book, you will see how she combines concepts in unexpected ways unique to her mind. The poem "Kleenex Are like Cows" is a prime example of her style. And one thing to note, Diane knows that poetry yearns to be read aloud. The consonants punctuate the air, the animated rhythms seem to dance like music, the meter changes effortlessly even within the same poem, and some phrases simply are fun to say them out loud. You will see how she creates so well in her captivating style of writing.
