Greetings from the Editor:
Finally
I am happy to say, Simple Secrets for Building Self-Esteem and Finding Your True Self, is hot off the press. This short little mini-book summarizes things I practice in healing my own self-esteem and finding my Self.
Many years ago I followed my husband on a career transfer to Thibodaux, LA. While there I worked at Nichols State University as a counselor and taught a student development course. Here was my first exposure to self-esteem by a book used in the class, Building Self-Esteem by L.S. Barksdale. It was life altering. When I moved back to Houston, I began teaching self-esteem classes with Leisure Learning Unlimited in 1981. At first I learned as much as the students in each class as we entered into deep philosophical discussions. Over time I developed an expertise in facilitating others to heal self-esteem issues. It brings me great joy to have the information in a nutshell of a book. May this information travel easily into the hands of many and help heal the world one person at a time.
Fortunate Blessings,
Suzanne

But what happens when creativity is stifled and one's emotions get to 'overload' one's system?

Poetry
By Lisa Thompson-Finlayson
This poem, inspired by Pachelbel Canon in D Major, was written during my college days at Morgan State University and published in The Sable Quill in 1991. My English professor put me on the Dean's student committee where we got together to talk about our college experiences. When I learned the dean as a college student attended poetry readings, I invited him to a poetry reading through The English Club. After the poetry reading, he encouraged us to put our poetry into book form. Thus, The Sable Quill was born...
