When we are motivated and inspired, we are more determined to create the life we want to live. It may not be easy, but we have to be prepared to do whatever it takes to achieve our goals. We must not let ourselves be diverted by a lack of enthusiasm. In achieving our dreams, we will be inspired by N.C. Brightman’s poetry and Gibble Pot’s illustrations. Starlight Life is about focusing our thoughts while appreciating nature and the environment around us. The words invite us to question ourselves and gain a new perspective on life. This is poetry free of judgment that will help us to feel energized. N.C. Brightman gives her perceptions using apt words and motivational themes.
It's never too late to start over. There may be things in our lives that we don't like but with effort, we can improve. We should accept the decisions we have made and the paths we have followed because they have helped form our character. We must overcome the past and grow as a flower does under the warm rays of the sun. These are some of the messages from Starlight Life. I enjoyed the way N.C. Brightman uses analogies from nature to explain life. She shows that there is more to life than is readily apparent. Gibble Pot's illustrations are varied and reflect the sentiment contained in the poems, which encourage us to learn to love ourselves and appreciate the beauty surrounding us. This is a magnificent collection of poems because it shows the best of living by revealing beauty and ephemerality.
