Perspectives

PERSPECTIVES serves as an acknowledgement and reminder that we (humans) are connected, not only by what we experience and share, but likewise by our thoughts that have yet to be given a voice.  The author has graciously shared many of her thoughts (poetry, prose and candid observations) on a range of experiences and emotions that often keep us internally bound in silence. Within these pages, one may find encouragement to develop and express their voiceless thoughts. Personal, expressive writing can often times reveal and cut the ties that bind.  "There is a term called ?Runner?s High? that derives from a euphoric feeling that people experience from running long-distance. With that in mind, I?m going to coin my own term called ?Reader?s High!? That?s the only way to describe the euphoric feeling I experienced from reading the works of Lori Lenoir-White. I am struck by the raw honestly and depth of emotions that she is able to convey in such a humanistic way. Lori has a first person writing style that takes you on a trip of guided discovery. So, if you genuinely want to experience ?Reader?s High,? then I suggest that you join me at Lori?s front door and let?s knock together." - Phillip M. DéMarks "When I met Lori, it was through her writing; we became Facebook friends on a whim. Immediately, it was obvious to me that Lori was a beautiful soul with an ability to write one point from a variance of perspectives. Her writing draws you into the details of life?s simple pleasures in a way that can transport you; yet she also has a way to lead you into the celebration of deliverance from painful life experiences. Along either path, Lori leads readers to happiness and liberation with her soul-inspiring thoughtfulness."  -Carlene Crom, Singer/Songwriter About the Author Born in Cincinnati, Ohio, Lori LeNoir-White?s early life was troubled, to say the least. Years filled with fast changing landscapes and dynamics were the beginning for young Lori. The combination of early childhood abuse, domestic violence and an injured self-image left her ever-struggling to adjust in the world. As the desire for social acceptance grew, she made many poor choices in her journey; choices that sent her further into despair and self-destruction. It wasn?t until Lori was diagnosed (after the age of 30) with A.D.H.D that she began to understand the path that she had once traveled, the choices she had made and all the turmoil that she had endured. As a way to manage the unstable and rapidly developing thoughts and emotions, Lori found a calming voice within; she discovered the joy and release of writing. Now, able to remain still in the presence of her fears, Lori has come to acknowledge that perceptions develop within one?s emotional core, whereas perspectives develop over time, and with honesty of self. On her Facebook page Write Out Loud, Lori encourages thousands to walk this enlightened path with her by processing, understanding and accepting their own experiences and PERSPECTIVES on life.
