A few years ago, I went to see a psychic, as all reasonable people in Paris do when they're hitting a wall. I was in my thirties and still clueless about my purpose in life. I had barely sat down when the psychic (an American) announced: 'You don't need to worry, you're a 'late bloomer'. Everything is going to happen later in your life.' Late Bloomer quoi? What the psychic didn't know was that there is no translation for 'late bloomer' in French. In the land of La vie en rose, where the Age of Enlightenment once sparked, you don't wander off the main road, let alone choose your own pace in life. You play by the book. From that day on, Catherine decided to knock down all her unquestioned beliefs to discover that there's life and happiness and hope off the beaten career and love path. "Deliciously joyful, a dazzling book with powerful simplicity.' Elle "Catherine Taret, a writer whose talent bubbles off the page. We want to mark every passage and talk it over with the author.' My Little Paris "A book that will inspire hope.' Ici Paris "A decidedly 'feel good' book.' Glose "A heart-warming book that's powerfully simple.' Amina "Unique, funny, and moving in turns. A book that's good for the soul.' Télé 7 jours Catherine is a Franco-American writer, living in Paris. She gave a talk about being a late bloomer that went viral. The adventures and discoveries that ensued make up It's never too late to bloom.

My Alabaster Box . . . Poetry, Prose, and Prayers is the compilation of life experiences written in verse and expounded upon through scripture, enlightened by Holy Spirit wisdom, and sealed with heartfelt prayers. Filtering life through the Christian worldview is demonstrated in the pages of My Alabaster Box. Both new believers, mature followers of Christ, and pre-Christians will find words of encouragement and direction. The author takes identifiable daily struggles and crafts a verse that expresses the emotion of the struggle, the joy of the understanding, or the pain of the loss in rhythm and rhyme that resonates with the soul. A gift from the Lord, the ability to connect heartfelt realities with pen and ink brings awareness to the reader that there is a higher power guiding our lives and that loves us all unconditionally. My Alabaster Box . . . was named from the account of the woman in the Bible who anointed the feet of Jesus with her own precious perfume. Before the sweet aroma was released throughout the house, however, she had to break the alabaster box that contained her life's savings. She held nothing back, even though the breaking of the bottle of oil made her vulnerable to people's reproach. Her response has taught us that in the presence of divinity passion preempts propriety. It is in the same vein of the broken vial that the author offers her own life experiences in verse as an oil of anointing poured out. May the worshipful words, not withheld, bring a wellspring of well-being to all who would venture within. Amen.
