<p><em>Emotions and Beyond</em> is based on a journey throughout the author&#39;s life, which is expressed through poetry and spoken words. It is a joining of the author&#39;s first book, <em>Emotions</em>, published in 2013 combined with her latest publication, <em>Emotions and Beyond</em>. This book aims to encourage and empower the reader to push past their challenges, setbacks, and stagnancy. It seeks to paint a picture of the emotional turmoil encountered at an early age that has the ability to trap individuals in a particular state of existence for years to follow. The negative impact and struggle in the author&#39;s personal life and the mediocre relationship with God resulted in a cycle of unrest and wrong decisions. This brought the author to a place of spiritual slumber and hardship, which inspired the releasing of the author&#39;s thoughts to the general public in the hope that change will begin to take place in individuals&#39; lives. The cycle of emotional bondage and insecurity was broken upon the author&#39;s return to the presence of God with the utmost elevation to an internal place of peace; this is where growth in all areas of the author&#39;s life began to manifest.</p>
