Heart Talk : Poetic Wisdom for a Better Life

“Dearest You, I have experienced just about every type of heartbreak that exists. The kind that happens with a romantic partner, with someone I wished were a romantic partner, with a family member, a friend, even a stranger. I’ve known the heartbreak associated with professional situations and things I aspire to: a dream that never came true, or a dream that did come true, but when it did, it wasn’t meant to be. I have even broken my own heart a few times (more than a few, actually). What I have learned from having my heart in pieces is that our stories are important. They help us take our pieces and build something new. And if we build with love they can help us build something even better than we had before. When we get real and honest and raw about what we go through, we have the power to turn our words into medicine and our experiences into wisdom. This book is a compilation of notes I have written in my apartment in New York City. It also consists of poems about loving, being, and healing that have been my life rafts when I did not know how“to swim in the waters of the world. You will also find the type of good ol’-fashioned heartfelt advice I would share with you if we were sitting in my home at my kitchen table (by the way, thanks, Mom, for showing me the healing power of kitchen-table conversation). I hope that in reading this book you will be reminded of your strength, reintroduced to your resilience, and reconnected with your personal power and love of self. And if you would like to treat this book less like a book and more like a friend or a companion, I would like that very much. Also, you should know that I love you. I don’t need to know you to love you. If this pile of papers found its way into your life, it is because we are meant to be. You are my tribe, and I am yours. If you have any questions, complaints, new ideas, love notes, or invitations for tea, I am here for you, talk to me: HeartTalk@cleowade.com.
