Your Time to Shine?I Am Unique is a poetry collection that will help you to build confidence in your self-belief and creative self-expression.I Am Unique is a brave new anthology of poems embracing the questions which have dominated women's lives for centuries. Through a series of evocative verses, addressing the themes of self-belief and creative self-expression, Sue Williams takes us on an inspiring journey of transformation to uncover our true selves. I Am Unique "takes you on a journey from really taking stock of life and beginning an emergence of self-belief, all the way through to awakening and embracing your feminine power." - Sasha Allenby, author of Write an Evolutionary Self-Help BookAs we emerge from the chrysalis state and spark the flame of new life, we often face an unknown future. Sue Williams's heart-opening, soul-stirring and playful poems let you know you are not alone. I Am Unique is not just an inspiring read for women of all ages. It's a rallying call for us all to find the self-confidence to unleash our creative gifts, unlock our own individual sense of identity and to joyously celebrate our own magnificent uniqueness.How do I believe in myself and my creative self-expression, you may ask. If you are feeling frustrated and blocked around your creativity, it is important to find ways to get your unique form of self-expression out into the world. Sometimes, this involves doing the things that you are avoiding. In Sue Williams' case, finding herself unwilling to write, she was encouraged by a coach to write Morning Pages, 3 A4 sized pages of free flowing writing, each day (a technique created by Julia Cameron in the Artist's Way). After about 10 days Sue was amazed to find her writing emerging naturally in rhyme! By finding the confidence and self-belief to share your own voice, gifts and talents with the world, you not only fulfil your own life purpose, you also give others permission to do the same. "I Am Unique is a wonderful series of poems which takes you on a journey of transformation you will never forget. It is the confidence boost you need to start believing in your own beautiful uniqueness. I loved it!" - Hannah Davis - award-winning author of Voices of AngelsThe first section of this book provides an insight into Sue's own journey, and how she uncovered an ability to express herself through writing poetry and verse, after taking early retirement from work in her early fifties. She also used her verses to work through old hurts from childhood, and to capture moments of her journey, such as when she tried out a clown face-painting experience. Sue has already found that by sharing her verses she has encouraged others to read more poetry and also write their own poetry, led them to decide to publish a poetry book of their own, and also use poetry as a tool for helping people overcome grief and loss. "Sue is a living, breathing example of the joyful creativity available to any one of us if only we dare to express ourselves. She encourages her readers to explore and express their own worlds, finding beauty in everyday situations, and shows that it's never too late to discover the artist within you". - Alison Jones - publisher at Practical Inspiration PublishingThe verses in this book are both personal and universal. How do you express your innermost thoughts and feelings and work through emotions? How can you "Stand up, stand up! Be bold, be strong" and have the self-belief and confidence to share your creative self-expression with the world?
