From the author
 
This book is the episode that led to the “Trilogy”.  For this book entails the beginning and the end of my storm.  In fact, these are moments of clarity that I now share with you as I battled for my sanity while in the storm, that led to the “After”.
 
For as you know the trilogy started with my book “After The Storm Is Over”, which led to my next book “The Dawn Of A New Day”, as I prayed to be “One With God”, which was my third book.
 
I truly hope that the heartfelt message that is being relayed, reaches the souls of the many who have tread down, or are still treading down this path, and feel that there is no hope. 
 
For as I set forth to share my testimony with you, that there is a better day through the supplication of prayer and faith in the Lord. 
 
But mostly, you must have the desire in “your” heart for a “CHANGE OF THE MIND”.
 
God Bless,
Rev. Dr. Roberta M. Heck, Chaplain
 
 
From the inside flap
 
Sharing the goodness of God through
her writing, author Roberta Heck has
compiled a fourth volume of personal poetry
with a faith-based focus. Changes of the Mind
shares the author's trials and tribulations and
inspirational thoughts on a variety of topics-
love, family, friendships, relationships, holidays,
and God.

Changes of the Mind led to the trilogy, which
are Heck's first three books: After the Storm Is
Over, The Dawn of a New Day, and One with
God. This new volume, with more than one
hundred poems, entails the beginning and
end of her storm. These offerings are her
moment of clarity and her witness to her
personal storm and the not-so-pleasant
aspects of life she's witnessed.

Dr. Heck's poems speak of her personal testimony
and her faith in God in poems such as
 
 "MY FIGHT"

But I know there's a God
Up above you see
I know in His time
He alone shall set me free
One way or the other
This plight shall end
I'm fighting for my life
The Lord will help me win
'AND HE DID'.

Though people weather different storms,
Changes of the Mind illustrates that every
simple thought can and will bring changes of
the mind.
 
 
From the back cover
 
LIFE REBORN
 
Blessed is the day anew
From whence I came there from
The jagged life that held me down
Brought panic and alarm
 
Set forth to find the path that led
To the directions of life anew
Freeing myself from the misery
That I myself put me through
 
Determined but weakened
By the need, but dared not to remain
On the thread of insanity—must escape
Was my desire to stay sane
 
Indeed I did with challenges abound
Many distractions in my path
Steered straight to defeat, lies and deceit
The claims of unholy wrath
 
Finding my way, no more being enslaved
To the impending death of no reproof
Into the light, I take my flight
 
“Life Reborn”
 
I’ve paid my dues
