From My Heart: in Pictures and Poetry Sue K Green

Sharing becomes part of the healing process. From the Heart shares with you the emotional road traveled by the author as she came to terms with her new role. She writes, "I am a wife, mother, and grandmother who enjoys an active lifestlye. I became interested in photography as an attempt to capture those 'precious moments in time' that only another new grandparent could truly understand. That was twenty years ago. Now, as a senior, and caregiver to my husband who is recovering from a stroke he suffered almost a year ago, those 'precious moments' seem so all important to remember. I began to write verse, as a means of expression, after the attacks of 9/11. I have never been one to overtly show my emotions; but as I travel this new emotional roller coaster, I have learned that emotions are just a part of each of us, they need not be justified and it helps when I share. Photography and writing have been my voice of expression. I would urge all to look beyond my words and images and find their own story. Appreciation and Interpretation take root from past experiences, present circumstances, and current frame of mind. If we are to stay well and be successful, it is essential that we learn to accept, understand, and come to terms with our own emotions. I believe that how we react to something is much more important than the event itself. I do hope that my work offers support and comfort to others"
