About Me, The Poet

Frederica R. Burrage

I am a human. I am a black girl, who loves God. I’m able to walk on two feet and speak about my ideals and ideas. I’m blessed to be alive.

I am constantly learning and thinking of new insightful “food for thought” to share.

I love nature and all beautiful things (and some not so pretty things too). I believe that life is a matter of interpretation and I’m grateful to be able to see, hear and experience it all.

My interests in books vary but naturally, since I am a poetic kind of girl, I gravitate towards poetry and philosophy. I do enjoy a good mystery drama. As a newfound hobby, I have been buying lots of gardening books lately. They are mesmerizing as well as informative. I am a reader of anything that sparks my imagination to stay motivated in my pursuit of knowledge and happiness.

I am a writer of quirky and spiritual things. I am proud to be a newly published author. I write because it frees my mind of so many words that are fighting to be released. I am at peace with what I write about. My book is a collection of my sense of the world and its unique possessions. I am passionate about my book’s contents.

I know that everyone has a story to tell and I enjoy sharing and swapping tales. My notebook is a necessity to me and a special friend that holds precious meaning. If we were to be departed ( my notebook and me) I’d be torn to pieces.

BLESSED, On Cloud 9

I’m truly DELIGHTED by God’s MERCY and his GRACE.                                                            I’m GRATEFUL for BLESSINGS God has BESTOWED upon me.                                                I’m THANKFUL for the LOVE God has GIVEN me.                                                                      I’m PLEASED for the PATIENCE God has GRANTED me.                                                          I’m INDEBTED for the FORGIVENESS God has SHOWN me.                                                    I’m HOPEFUL for the WISDOM God has PROVIDED me.                                                          I’m HUMBLE for the LIFE God has AFFORDED me.                                                                  God has bestowed many blessings and I’m forever grateful.                                                   I’m truly EXCITED by God’s PRESENCE and his PRESENTS.

SELF Expression

Frederica R. Burrage

1. I like being behind the lens and photographing nature in the raw. There is beauty in darkness and in the light of day.

2. I think I am cute at times and take good pictures (selfies included). It is not natural or nice to be vain (in my case). Self confidence can be displayed in multiple ways.

3. I enjoy sharing my beautiful personality through my artistic body of words. I post anecdotal notes and inspirational quotes to uplift people… which also provides me some serenity.

4. Everything does not revolve around me, so I do not need to flash my smile for others. I radiate my joy outwards for the feeling that it gives me. As the Earth rotates around the sun, I gain energy from each minute of every bright moment. The marvelous wonders of the world should be seen, as well as the pleasures of life. This is why I try to capture the feelings that are transmitted- through visual and nonverbal creativity.

5. I may ramble with my words at times, but my self expression is vital to my wellbeing. I write to give emotion to my viewpoints. Giving others a peek, allows me to remain low key.
