Book Review For Celebrating Poertry By Cindy Georgakas

Cindy is a great blogging friend and an inspiration to me. When she said her look book was poetry, I paused for a minute. I’m not one to get into poetry, but this book is different, it’s conversational and the topics speak to me. I love how it flows.  

Celebrating Poetry is a Companion Guide to Re-Create and Celebrate.

A Few Reviews

“Celebrating Poetry by Cindy Georgakas is a joy to read and a perfect companion to Cindy’s book, Re-Create & Celebrate.

She shares a variety of poems relating to the ups and downs of everyday life. Her verses encourage us to discover and celebrate our own strengths and to face life’s challenges.

“Cindy’s poetry is a warm embrace on a cold night. Each verse, a window into her soul, inviting the reader to peer in and understand. Her words, raw and honest, resonate deeply, making the reader feel both seen and understood. It’s as if she’s sitting across from you sharing her life story, one heartfelt poem at a time. A truly beautiful and moving collection that I loved.”

–

“First thing in the morning and last thing at night. I keep this lovely collection of poems next to my bed, and read one before falling asleep to feed my muse and my spirit. When I wake, I re-read the same poem again, and generally pick up something new that I missed in the first reading. No matter when or how you decide to read this beautiful collection, just know that you don’t want to miss a single one! 💞”

My Thoughts

I love how the book is laid out, there is a section where Cindy writes her thoughts followed by a collection of relative poetry. It’s more conversational than a poetry book. One of the most important things I can say is Cindy is inspirational, and positive and leaves you with questions to ponder. 

Some of the topics Cindy covers in Celebrating Poetry are:

Be who you are

Look up not down

You reap what you sew

Bite your tongue

and so many more great topics that can help us shape your life for the positive. 

I like that there are pages to write down your reflections which is great to look back at and remind you of which areas you would like to read again, and you will want to read again.

A few poems I especially related to:

Bite Your Tounge

Learn or Blame

Spit It Out

This book will become your trusted friend, one you can go back and lay your head on. There’s truth in Cindy’s words. I agree with one reviewer, it’s a must-read.
