"Be Epic, Choose Love" Creates Initiative To Donate Books

Last year I published a book, entitled, “Be Epic, Choose Love.” My book is about the strength found in love, and proceeding with love, truth, empathy, compassion and kindness, as well as the fact that love is the most important capacity. As I say in my book “love carries us through.” It is available through Barnes and Noble, Amazon, Apple Books and Waterstones in the UK, as well as various other retailers. I am launching an initiative where for every hard copy version of my book purchased, limited to purchases through my website, I will donate the extended version paperback to a care home, school, hospital, healing center, library - organizations who can greatly benefit from receiving my book, filled with words of inspiration, healing, and a reminder that love is true strength.

Additionally, recently after writing an article after learning about a separate artistic, creative, compelling and inspiring collaborative work entitled "Heartbreak Symphony,” created through the various artists work, Devin James Stinson on lyrics; Milena Matic, visual artist and composer; Alan Logston, it easily reminded me of the strength of collaborative efforts between artists - to inspire, uplift, motivate and remind one another of the value of their work to unite, inspire, motivate, and of course to encourage one another to utilize our abilities and talents to do good in this world. Milena Matic illustrated the children's book entitled, "My Own Backyard," written by Emily Marie Losier and published by Lisa Pellegrene Media and Publishing. It is available on Amazon in both the color paperback version and in Kindle.

Art has the ability to unite. Art has the ability to heal. Art expresses what others may find difficult to express. Creating art whether through words or imagery to inspire is beautiful. Art can perpetuate truth, a truth felt by the artist of which some or many others will relate.

Art is freedom of expression and art can remind people of their worth, encouraging others to recognize their value as well. Art has the ability to inspire, uplift and most importantly to unite with love. Everyone has God given innate abilities and talents to utilize to help contribute to creating a more love based, compassionate inspiring world.

As we, as artists create and communicate, perpetuate beauty, convey truth, enlighten, while standing strong with love, and advocating for peace, unity, love and compassion, we provide hope - artists can heal the world.

The following paragraphs consist of an extended excerpt from my book which I wrote (and for which I also provided all of the original photography) entitled, "Be Epic, Choose Love." It consists of epic poems and lyrical poetic prose in a narrative form:

Once all find love from within themselves, they too will see so very clearly. All must choose love too, from within, and then they will see that love paves the way to all that’s meant to be, a life filled with beauty, hope and much joy, peace and tranquility.

Choose love, it’s there and starts from within. Love carries us through and the pain, it will heal, the love from within which comes from above, mends the heart.
The shattered heart is now mending you see. Love carries us through, it’s within you and me.
Always choosing love, starting with you, remember it will carry you through, and it will inspire many others to choose love too.
The brightest of days, so beautiful and bright, that’s the hope of the now, and the future and how it’s meant to be in all it’s delight.
Choose love. Learning one’s own worth is a priority. The love that you find which comes from within, it has a beautiful ability to bring the happiest you back again.
Now with wisdom and truth, love and knowledge and strength realized, the most shattered of hearts fill up with love. The kind that goes from this page to one’s heart, to remind many that love is there, there’s always plenty of love.
Love doesn’t deplete, and remember, love comes from above. It’s a gift for you and me, and for all you see, a gift from above, a beautiful capacity that helps one to live a life of beauty, joy, peace and tranquility. Love is what’s meant to be.
