MOVING ON...Lee Taylor-Friend is a Mother, poet, writer, support worker and remedial massage therapist living in the picturesque Snowy Mountains region of Australia with her husband and two sons. She also creates and presents writing and poetry workshops where she shares her love of the written word and passion for 'writing as therapy'. Lee has been widely published, won several awards, has a popular monthly column in the Snowy River Echo and volunteers her time for a variety of community events, local committees and causes. "Moving On..." is an honest, thought provoking and moving collection of poetry that is deeply personal. This collection of verse is the first of several diverse books of poetry Lee plans to release as both paperbacks and e-books in 2016/2017.MOVING ON...FOREWORDAfter much soul searching this book has come to fruition.It is raw - personal - honest. For some it may be confronting.For me it is a culmination of ten years work on many levels.I believe that by speaking our truth we allow others to do the same.Life is not always 'a bed of roses', as is evident in this book of poetry, but we can 'move on' if we don't bury the past and close the door on healing.I believe 'writing as therapy' can be such a positive tool for growth and renewal.This is well supported by research and literature.I ask people in my workshops to dig deep and reach a place of truth.I will not ask of others what I have not asked of myself.Below is an excerpt of a testimonial from one of my workshop attendees - I will leave the last word to Heather..."Lee's workshops are ostensibly about writing and the fact that everyone has their own unique story to tell, but they also subtly encompass psychology, philosophy and some very valuable life lessons. The direction her teaching takes is shaped by the students, as I have observed by attending these in different communities. It takes a lot of skill and understanding to be so adaptable, and to make each student feel that they have something worthwhile to offer and say.My writing quality and self-understanding have been moved forward exponentially by what I have learned from Lee, as have the other workshop attendees that I have maintained contact with.I would not hesitate to recommend Lee's workshops to any potential employer - they will get more than they bargained for in a very positive and healing way."Love and light...Lee Taylor-Friend
