{"product_id":"to-peace-i-have-traveled-nina-gilberte-9781977209245","title":"To Peace I Have Traveled #2","description":"\u003cp\u003eNina Gilberte is a high school mathematics teacher, who loves to write in her free time. She writes about the daily challenges, victories and life in general. Quiet time to Nina means she is alone in her orange room, somewhere outside with nature or in her classroom when all of her students are gone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese poems are the results of her daily self-reflection and societal observation. She states that regardless of who we are, each of us have our daily challenges, and we need to find our own specific path to peace: some sing, some walk some run, others clean, talk or have fun.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNina lives in the Verdugo mountains of Los Angeles with her husband as empty nesters (aside from two cats). They have three children; a son living in Santa Monica as a graphic designer, a daughter living in Rancho Cucamonga as an assistant registrar at a college campus, and another daughter who is currently a sophomore at a UC.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen Nina is not writing or having her quiet time, she draws and paints. Nina loves camping and cooking. She has influenced many to spend time outdoors and to cook without a recipe. Nina has a stove and a sink for cooking outside in her backyard.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book is Nina's second published book of poems that is titled: To Peace I Have Traveled. Peace is a state of mind, a state of being that should not be easily shaken by what is going on around it. Come on  Rise above  It might be cloudy and raining, but if you move forward, you will be in a spot where you will see the sun. Maybe a rainbow  It might be waiting for you just around the corner, longing for you to smile  So do not get stuck in the gray \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne of Nina's children writes: \u003cbr\u003e If there ever was a person that I had to pick who has taught me the most in life (so far), it would be my mother. She is just filled with compassion in everything she does. Even waking up early in the morning to enjoy a cup of coffee in the sun, walking in the pouring rain because it is just so much fun, singing loud and proud not caring if she has the right pitch or not, laying in the sun for hours fully clothed in long sleeve white (to protect her skin) and just exhilarated by the sun's energy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLooking at her I always wonder if she has some secret handbook that's titled \"How to Raise your Kids the Best Way,\" (maybe it's this book of poems). But really, all of these actions contribute to her being a strong mother. God has given her so many gifts and talents, which resonate throughout this book, and her life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese are the journey that Nina has followed to be constructive in her life as a mother, a wife, a friend, a teacher, a daughter, a sister, a functioning citizen and a servant of The Creator of The Universe.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Nina Gilberte\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1977209246\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781977209245\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Outskirts Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/13\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 584\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.22lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 1.44d","brand":"Nina Gilberte","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44052604715263,"sku":"9781977209245","price":42.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2238d7e0-da37-4d58-ae45-629a592f252f.jpg?v=1685019762","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/to-peace-i-have-traveled-nina-gilberte-9781977209245","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
