Covington, LA (PRWEB) March 4, 2006 -- Every day we are faced with life changes. Often the changes represent challenges that can defeat us and cause suffering, or we can choose to learn and grow from such experiences. Although it sometimes appears that our challenges come from other people, society, or circumstances, the fact is they arise for one’s own personal growth and development. Kimberley Stokes articulates the growth and development potential of a variety of experiences through poetry prefaced by essays.
 “I am often inspired to write a poem when someone tells me about a situation or circumstance in their life,” explains Kimberley Stokes, author of “Expressions of a Reflective Soul” (ISBN 1420878123). “I react to the emotion I feel from what they say, and what I sense from their body language, as well as what I feel from their soul.” Sometimes it takes Stokes five minutes other times it might be days or longer, to write a piece of poetry.
For Stokes, reflection is an important key to life. “It is important to be reflective because one learns from one’s self and gains a better understanding of the soul within,” continues Stokes. “Having an outlet to express one’s self is always needed as a method of releasing pent up emotions instead of continuing to hold them inside.”
