Video Trailer: Journey Into Renewal

I have experienced great sadness and loss in my life. In 2002 I awoke to find that my wife had passed away. It seemed to me as if my life came to an end that day as time came to stop. After a few months I began to awaken and artistry began to fill the void that was left within me. It began to bring me to a new understanding of life as it enveloped my spirit and I became a new person.

 

 

Journey Into Renewal, the poetry and picture book by Brian Bigelow, is available through Amazon.com, Amazon UK, and Smashwords.
