One Happy Little Vegemite.
I have received my much awaited review for my poetry book "On the Wings of a Butterfly" and I am absolutely stoked. I have been a member of Realistic Poetry International for a while now and have submitted a few poems into competitions, it wasn't until last year I decided to submit my book for a review. I did have to pay for the review but I wasn't expecting them to write quite what they did. You see, I write because it brings me joy and I love to uplift and inspire others, however, I didn't really believe deep down that it did have that effect on people. We all have our insecurities I suppose and being a Virgo I am quite the perfectionist. I tend to hold back a lot of myself for fear of not being good enough.
I think this is something that most people have a fear of, we don't just throw ourselves out into the world and really we should.
When I received the review they had used all of the words that I use to describe my purpose in life and what I aspire to bring to the world and bam a lightbulb went on. I was described through my poetry as freely spreading the universal gifts of dreams, smiles and happiness to all. That certainly made me smile.
I really should put more effort into sharing and writing for I can bring those things that I desire to out into the world.

Please don't forget to let me know what you think.
