Celebrating Milestones: Book launch ‘The Broken and The Divine’

After two unfortunate cancellations and postponements, the third time has proven to be the charm. As I’m writing this, I’m smiling ear to ear and bringing the evening into my memory books – yes books!

A heartfelt thank you extends to my cherished family, friends, prior colleagues, neighbors, and the venue owner and restaurant (IKI Sørenga). Your presence and support added an extra layer of warmth, turning an already special day into an extraordinary celebration – one which I’ll never forget. Looking back at my book launch of “The Broken and The Divine” and birthday celebration, I’m filled with immense happiness and gratitude for this long-awaited evening – and drawn to happy tears for everyone who took their time.

With this milestone achieved, I’m closing one chapter and embarking on the next: “Turn the page – Next Adventure Awaits”.

About the book:

Born from the depths of a heartbroken summer, this collection transforms pain into art and darkness into soul-stirring poetry. In the heart of “The Broken and The Divine,” love is portrayed not as a source of pain but as a potent healer. It narrates a tale of the departure of love – the sadness, anger, and darkness that ensue – and the subsequent transformative journey toward healing. Through poetic verses, the collection beautifully captures some of the essence of self-discovery and the emergence of a different love: self-love and how love will heal – “But it is the journey and whom you meet, That will make you feel complete.“.

“We often say love hurts, and that we make beauty from pain. But I will refrain, that trail of thoughts.

It is not the love which hurt, with all its passion and warmth; love will heal.

It is the pain of love leaving, the sadness, anger, and darkness we feel; which hurts us until we squeal.

Love will heal…[…]” CG Art & Poetry.

The poems guide readers through a dance of words, a harmonious rhythm where the soul gracefully moves toward sunshine and light. As you delve into the collection, contemplate the question posed by me; “Underneath it all, who are you at your core?“.

Keep posted to figure out why there was a film crew there…

Book launch postponed

It’s with a heavy heart I have had to cancel my book launch due to illness. I’ll come back stronger and with a new date for the event. However, unsure when that will be. I’ll keep you posted, but in the meantime, you can find my book on Amazon (paperback and e-book), and follow me on SoMe: Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook.

Do you

If you ever feel blue,

Just go out and do you.

On high heel shoes,

Or on bare feet… like you are a muse, or it was big news.

If you ever feel blue,

Just go out and do you.

With a dress to impress,

Or just with all your mess.

It really doesn’t matter the attire,

For in your soul there is fire!

So, you go do you,

Until you no longer feel so blue…

Maybe even at a place with a good view?

The date of publishing and launching my book is approaching! Very exciting times I must say, and I’m so eager for you all to read through the poem collection of “The Broken and The Divine” ;trying to capture life and love, loving life and soul searching through life’s corners and nature’s wonders. The book has been written over a heartbroken summer… but let me tell you:

We often say love hurts, and that we make beauty from pain. But I will refrain, that trail of thoughts.

It is not the love which hurt, with all its passion and warmth; love will heal.

It is the pain of love leaving, the sadness, anger, and darkness we feel; which hurts us until we squeal.

Love will heal… and in the process of healing, we leave the beauty we see within art and poetry. It is a beautiful thing, this healing. It is not beauty from pain; it is beauty from a healing soul where sadness leaves and something else takes its place. It is where words play a beautiful rhythm, and someone dances gracefully – when sunshine and light enter with open arms; When love yet again enters life, but a different love this time; self-love.

Because;

They say spread your wings,

And you’ll learn how to fly,

But what if that is a lie?

Maybe all you have to do is believe,

That you are more than you seem…

Or think…or understand.

Something which lies underneath.

So…

Underneath it all, who are you at your core?

Send your interest in the launching of the book here! Then you will receive notifications about the date of publishing and a special surprise if you buy the book.
