Author Interview
Sarah F Wilburn Author Interview

Reflections of Me: Living Life Experiences follows your journey through faith, family, hardship, and self-discovery in a poetic testimony of resilience, gratitude, and spiritual reflection. How has your relationship with God influenced the way you understand hardship and change? 

God will not put more on you than you can bear, and he will make a way of escape for you.​

God is a man that he should not lie, nor the son of man that he should repent: has he said it and shall he not do it? Or  has he spoken, and shall he not make good on it. Ask and it shall be given, seek and you shall find, knock and the doors shall be open unto you. ​

“At Home Job” turns the pain of losing a long teaching career into a story of healing and acceptance. What was it like to write about that experience?

It was a sad, experience because I was not ready to retire. I had goals that I had not achieved and debts that I owed. It affected my family financially and emotionally.  I stated to look at the bright side of things.​

What do you hope readers take away from Reflections of Me: Living Life Experiences after finishing the collection?

God knows the plans he has for your life: plans to prosper you and not to harm you,plans to give you hope an a future. Look inside of you and find that hidden strength. You are an over- comer and victorious. Don t let your trials define who you are. Make those stumbling blocks into stepping stones. If you have the faith  of a mustard, seed you can move mountains.​

Reflections of Me: Living Life Experiences is a collection of short stories written in poetry style. It is written as narrative poetry. Narrative poetry is one of the most common poetic forms. This poetic form is very much like a novel. Narrative poetry includes a series of events, including actions and dialogues. I uses a number of poetic methods such as rhyme, meter, and rhyming scheme. Usually, a narrative poem has a single speaker who is known as the narrator. The narrator recites the entire story from beginning to end. I am the narrator of these short stories/poems.
The short stories in this narrative poetry are about life experiences such as; looking in the mirror, self-image, blind fate, family reunions, “isms” of the world, friendships, my way of thinking, testing the trials of life, communications, betrayal, beware of the snares, math problems of everyday life, “As Is” and more of life experiences that everyone can relate to at some point and time in their past, as they look in the mirror and reflect upon their life. These are some of the short stories/ poems titles that you will find inside this book.
