Angelic Awakenings

About the Book

‘Angelic Awakenings’ is an anthology of poetry which takes you to another realm of existence and understanding. The poems in ‘Angelic Awakenings’ show both the beauty inherent in the world around us and also open up a portal of visionary words, showing there is so much more to our existence than our finite time upon this earth. They show limitless opportunities on the horizon of time and space. These words also explore many unexplored dimensions in which we can feel the bliss; the knowledge; the wisdom; the love and the joy that is ours to both have and share with others. I have always believed in angels and believe that there is so much more to life than this physical world. There is a great universe out there in time and space and our lifetime is but a mere whisper in this eternal ocean of existence - of learning; of loving; of giving; of doing our best to leave a legacy of a better world for generations to come. I hope that these poems will be thought inspiring to all those who read them, as I truly believe that they are a gift from the angels to share with you all.

About the Author

Anne Russell has always loved writing, but began to write more following her diagnosis of breast cancer four years ago. She also became a columnist for her local newspaper to enable readers to follow her journey from diagnosis to treatments. Her main aim was to help to take the readers’ fear of this disease away – showing it is still possible to live a normal life and ‘reach for the stars’ in terms of achieving your goals. “I have always enjoyed writing, but this writing has become more prolific since my diagnosis of breast cancer. Writing poetry and writing in general has brought me back to source of my love of creating the written word to in turn share with others. It has heightened my awareness of how precious life is and how important it is to value both everyone and everything we have in our lives. I believe it is important to embrace our gifts of creativity to leave our footprint as part of our legacy for the future” she said. Formerly an HR professional and teacher in post 16 education, Anne now works as an Employment Law Advisor; is an amateur singer/songwriter and also volunteers at Hull Animal Welfare Trust in South Cave, East Yorkshire.
