Loneliness is as prevalent among the rich as among the poor It has been described as a debilitating deficiency disease that knows no limitations of age, class, or sex.  Mass production lines have reduced many skillful workers to the status of human robots.  It is no sin to be lonely brought on by deep emotional trauma.  Whatever the cause, the experience is painful in the extreme.  The stark high-rise apartment complexes are characterized more by fear and suspicion than by friendship and neighborliness.  Instead of enjoying genial and congenial action and interaction with family and friends, many live in a world of fantasy and danger.

Einstein demonstrated that loneliness invades the lives of the great and intellectual as well as those in lower stations of life.  Because we humans are social creatures by nature, the absence of a friend or companion creates an emotional vacuum which works havoc on both body and spirit.  In today's lifestyle, fear and worry (concern for your very life) are predominate, but loneliness casts the longest shadow.

The lyrics of pop songs are composed of melancholy themes of frustration, emptiness and loneliness.  Country and western promote infedility, the pain of broken relationships and desertion.  Solitude means not being in the company of others by choice, and can be deliberatly chosen and is voluntary.  There are times when the hard-pressed heart craves solitude more than anything else.

Loneliness is the result of the absence of personal intimacy or meaningful activity.  Mark is the perfect example.  It is a state of mind, the feeling no one really cares what happens to you.  If the lonely condition is unduly prolonged or excessive, it can produce a significant change in personality.  Loneliness begets the frame of mind in which the darker side of life takes over.  The optimist sees the bottle half-full, whereas the opposite may appear to the depressed person.

Loneliness is an inevitable accessory of failure because it is essentially personal.  Often ignored or neglected by doctors, this dreadful condition confronts most of us during our lifetime.  It won't just one day go away.  The lonely person's lack of intimacy is at the heart of the issue.  It must be accepted that some degree of loneliness is a natural component of ordinary living.  No one escapes its inroads altogether.  We are private beings who do not always admit even to oour dearest friends into all areas of our private lives.

It is only common wisdom to accept what can't be changed and endeavor to change what can be changed.  Where living conditions are favorable, many lonely people have found great comfort in keeping a pet, having something (or somebody) to love and receiving some measure of affection in return.  The obvious welcome of a pet on one's return to an empty apartment helps to banish loneliness to a degree.  Pray.

~Cant lifetimes be measured in heartbeats? The faster a heart goes, the less time you have?~

If the above is true, must be close to death then after reading this. I cant stop my heart from beating so fast it hurts. It hurts. I hurt and yet the hurt is a complete comfort.

There is a theme with Sukis books; the ever plentiful absence of parental figures, the absence of speech either voluntary or not and there is the over whelming theme of boys doing things for survival that most of us don't think about. There is this void with her characters but its the fortitude of not giving up that makes the void fill and spill over with hope.

The big thing about Suki and her books is you get immersed in them. From the first word and a dip of your ill formed pinky toe, you think you are testing the waters of the world she creates, when in reality, youve already jumped in with both feet. Youve jumped in and didn't realize it until your chest becomes so tight because you haven't come up for air. Youve held your breath and let the gorgeous misty words fill your chest as you blissfully drown in the context of the story.

I want to tell you all about this story but I don't know how to. Its heartbreaking and hopeful. Its angsty and amazing. This book, is everything and there are things I think I caught on to more because of myself or maybe because the author is like me?

Maybe she is like me because what I also loved is the sneaky way the author sneaks songs into the book. I guess, if you don't know them you wouldnt notice them but just like a song by The Smiths got tossed into TiNaLS, there are songs from The Cure in this that shredded my already stomped on heart. I mean, come on! If Only Tonight We Could Sleep and Pictures of You. Smith and Fleet as a duo of angst? One does not survive unscathed, I promise you.

~If I had a single wish right now, it would be for someone to hold on to, or for someone to hold on to me. Not because they feel obliged to, or because they have to, but because they want to, because they want me.~

Danny. What has happened to him? OMG. This kid, from the first page I wanted to hug and cuddle him until he gave in and hugged me back. I want to give Danny all the warmth, all the warm showers and flowers and food and a cool room to sleep deep under warm blankets. I want to give him a room full of things that need to be fixed, not because he needs them as trade but because its what he does. I want him to look at himself with as much want and love as he deserves and I want him to accept it. To accept that he is beautiful because of who he is and how he loves and protects those who matter even when they ask why he doesnt give up.

OMG! This book, it hurt me so damn good.

Micky, good lord this kid. I got him and his want to help people but inability to deal with it. I really get it because I am the same way. I get that its too much at times to just be yourself and deal with your own issues but taking on the issues of others, its crushing to the soul. But Micky is beautiful, sparkly and everything that a boy like Danny needs but what is going on with them? How will they make this new fragile thing called love work?

These boys. This story, it was amazing but its Suki Fleet so its what I expect. The layers of story and character are achingly peeled away until you are raw. You cant help but feel what these characters go through as you read their story. This isn't just story- its an entire universe of bright skies, of tumbling warm feelings and emotions so big, they cant be contained to one continent. Its so ridiculously gorgeous that I cant tell you enough how much I loved reading it.

~Fragile things, every single one of them. Lives are so terrifyingly easy to break. And yet, I love every single second. If I didn't love it, it wouldnt hurt so much.~

Yeah that.

If you believe in the power of love to transform the heart and soul of all human beings, you will certainly appreciate this tim.  I had come across this story several years ago and was very pleased to be able to enjoy it again in DVD format.  It is such a fun and quirky love story that warms the heart, touches the soul, and brings a big smile to your face.  Our hero is so lovable and inspiring, that you just can't help rooting for him to win the girl who has something much different than love on her mind when she first meets him and tries to swindle him on a bogus art deal.  But in the end she finds that she saves her own life on so many levels thanks to this "chase" encounter,  Just a delightful love story for all us hopeless romantics!

This book was so heart rending in so many ways. Everyone in the book had social issues but helped each other in the only way each could manage. Billy is Agoraphobic but slowly opens his heart to a little girl who needs him, Grace needs them all because her mom is an addict and sleeps 23 hours out of 24. All the characters invest something of themselves into helping this precious little girl. Their struggles to just be themselves and help this boisterous little munchkin, who without them would have been completely alone is so touching. Each encourages the other by offering whats needed whether it be a shoulder to cry on or a couch for the night. They don't realize that just by loving this little girl that good things are taking place within their own lives. I would definitely recommend this book.

During times of sadness it can seem like we are all alone. We can easily feel like I'm the only one that has to suffer In this way. If we are too deep in in it may be hard to even see our way out. This book is a brilliant and much needed healing tool for all women because it not only has one wimen telling you about how she healed her wounds but you have 20. Each and every single woman can relate to one of the stories and more importantly she can feel like she's not alone and hear how someone just like her was able to turn a misfortune into a circumstance that propelled her forward!

After reading "Song of the Heart", my soul filled with instant recognition of a dormant truth having been hidden from me.

Francine's extraordinary life, fraught with all of life's "ordinary" challenges made this book very difficult to put down. However, Francine's gifts revealed themselves to me in "The Structure of All That Is". The spiral living crystal of light embedded with millions of vibrations of light and sound corresponding to each soul's experience, present, past and future, which offered me a new way of looking at all of life.

As Francine explains, "we are all called upon to respond with enlightened hearts, minds and thoughts, emotions and actions embedded in this eternal time."..... Future generations may choose to respond by expanding on the imprints left by previous generations, making the path purer, clearer and more loving for the generations to follow. "In this way  humanity creates, from moment to moment, with its gift of free will, the world it chooses to live in."

We are never alone and always guided by the wisdom of all connected souls.

Thank you Francine!
with much love,

This is the second book to the Vacant Hearts Series and I have taken my own sweet time to reading this book. I'm wishing now I would have read it sooner, but the anticipation for book 3 is even higher now! You MUST read this series. They are written by a dear friend and an inspiring and inventive author!

Sapphira Jones has been trying to find some measure of calm in her life since her boyfriend, Alexander Thomas broke up with her. The death of his wife has haunted him greatly and the grief he feels will not let him love Sapphira without feeling badly about it. They each are grieving in their own way. Alexander with the loss of his wife and Sapphira with the loss of a normal, loving childhood. It really is a heartbreaking and uplifting story. They each need each other to get over the obstacles in their paths.

I can't get into too many details without spoiling the nature of the story. Just pick up Vacant Hearts, read Confessing Hearts and get ready for the big FINALE! You won't be sorry in the least!

As a women we all been through everything in the book. Whether it's finding yourself in a dark place, unaware of your career path, the person you love is not good for you, heartbreak and finally rediscovering you and seeing the light after the tunnel. I truly enjoyed this read because I felt like the author was talking to me. Reading my mind and writing a book about it. Many may not know what's going on with you personal because you walk through life with a smile mask but many people will enjoy this read very light and left me wanted more. Waiting on the novel "Nobody's Coming"!!

There are few books out there where I weep and say "I'm not the only one!! I'm not the only one who feels that way! I'm not the only one who has felt that way! I'm not alone..." But this book...this book is one of them. So much goodness wrapped up in it.  In a world full of so much uncertainty, one thing is certain.  We all have the power to be a fiercehearted woman.  We all have it in us to live fully and love bravely.  Holley does an amazing job of connecting with the reader, using her own journey to show us the way.  Run, don't walk to pick this read up.  You won't regret it and you will want to go out and be a #fierceheartedwoman today

In this story you sink into the heart break of a young boy as his life is turned upside down. You experience the hope of restoration for a family torn apart by hurt and resentment. You discover the joy that only comes when the love of God fills those hurting empty hearts. Each character in this story comes alive as you walk through their story with them. You want to reach in and touch them, guide them, direct them, and breath life into them as they journey through loss, hurt, rejection, surrender, love and joy.

Dan Walsh is an amazing writer !
