Unpredictable Stories of Life Experiences Expressed in Poetry Cathy Jones

Publisher Marketing: Unpredictable stories are collections of my personal life experiences and other people stories of experiences that no one could or would believe it could happen to me. Over the years of working with people and hearing their stories was unbelievable but it really existed. As a professional clinician in the helping field there are people that did not foresee their future and never thought that their lives would be in such shambles. I physically talked with family members of the clients who confirmed of that their stories were true. I was placed in a position by the grace of "God" to help these people in any way I could. I have worked in homeless shelters all types of alcohol and drug treatment programs, adolescent drug programs, juvenile detention programs, and high schools for at-risk youth; so I was very multifaceted with information and resources to assist people. The people I encountered wanted so badly to improve their lifestyle and make their situations better. I was listening to how their lives were and how they are now; because of bad marriages, molestation, child abuse, verbal abuse, rape, deaths, sickness, domestic violence, incarceration and other equities that happen during the course and how they fell. During the years of listening to people unpredictable situations that destroyed and changed their lives. I decided to express it in poetry. The title "Unpredictable Stories" expressed in Poetry, I chose because there are some poems that anyone who reads it would be able to identity with possibly a part of their life; the here or now. My hope is that the words of my poetry will inspire people.
