Where does change begin?
It begins from within
How does it begin
It begins with you
It begins from within
Change of motives
Change of heart
Change of the within …

Cindy Gillard knows that life is a journey and that no matter what the obstacle, it is possible to overcome any hardships. With a desire to inspire others, Gillard shares poetry that reflects on her experiences, emotions, and the people who have encouraged her in her lifetime.

Partially influenced by spiritual beliefs related to her Cherokee and Choctaw heritage, Gillard leads others down a lyrical path that touches on such relatable themes as change, nature’s beauty, unconditional love, grief, and faith. Included are beautiful drawings—each unique in its presentation—that shine a light on her love of horses.

Expressions of the Heart shares a debut collection of poetry that provides a glimpse into one woman’s distinctive journey through life.
