This book of heart songs, soul searches, mind stretches, and humor is the fulfillment of a promise--the promise Lisa made to God to take all the pain she experienced as the single mother of three young sons and use it to encourage others on this journey of single motherhood.

New Beginnings

When a crystal vase slips from fingers
and shatters on a marble floor;
when an egg is smashed,
its ragged shell fragments scattered;
when the petals of a rose are torn off and
bruised, crushed beneath the wind's weight -
there is no fixing it.

Not so with human lives.
We can go on.
With us there are new beginnings,
a crisp white sheet of paper
on which to write the words of today.
