Hello and Welcome. Truly, it is an honor to have you here. It is why I write, for you and me.I am Nancy Lee Destiny. My Passion is writing and I love to share my writing with everyone around the globe. My goal is to inspire people while providing wisdom through my experiences.

I write poetry, but that's not all I write. I've written newspaper cloumns, e-zine columns, magazine articles, technical writing, chapbooks, e-books, short stories,and I am working on novels presently. I have a few in the works. I have a few excerpts on here for you to glance at.

It's all very exciting to me to be able to do what I love. How great is that, plus my readers get to benefit from it, enjoy it, love it as much as I do.

I close my eyes every night with the desire to wake up to a new sunrise filled with shine, colourful hues, with promise, with passion, a new day to fill my desires and wishes.

I tell everyone dare to live life, not to simply exist in it ! Life is filled with kisses of laughter, echoes of sorrow, hidden passions, and lots of love. My glass is most always half full, is yours? Why not? You get to choose, it's your choice.

Turn the echoes of sorrow into...the gift of tears. Make laughter a memory, stop hiding your passions and thrust them in front of you so you have to climb over them. Then if you don't do them, then you are a failure before you try. Why would you do that? It makes no sense.

Ask yourself...What are the benefits from not trying? What are the benefits of trying?

Sure even I have times when I just feel so defeated and battered by life's trials and tragedies. Sometimes it makes me want to go to sleep on Monday and wake up on Thursday. There have been only a few times in my life where I just couldn't get out of the whole I sank into for love nor money.

My point is that I kept on trying, even if I have to rely on the advice of someone else. Most times I follow my own advice, because it simply works. Eventually I most always come out of it as a better person, even in the worst situations. Believe me, I have had more than my share.

That is when I usually turn to my writing yet again to renew my spirit. I have to get it out of my system so I can move forward. I never forget it and that is how it should be. It is the lessons we learn from our experiences, so that we do not repeat them time & time again. You to will be wise to remember this advice. It will help you along the way in your journey of life.

Poetry...Feel The Passion. Poetry awakens the Passion in all of us.

I am a very passionate woman. I came up with the idea to make my own website here to share. If I can help people, not just women, men and children too, then it is all worth it. Helping people to know they are not alone, or not the only one who is going through some of the same things others have gone through.

If I can lend my perspective to others so they too can stop, step back and look at the bigger picture, then my words are not taking up space, my words will have impact.

Readers have followed my career and told me what a difference I make in their life through my words. I am thankful to God for my gift, so that I am able to make a difference. To Him and my readers I say thank you. I am here to make a difference because I love people and life.

Over the years my readers have contacted me about my writing. Here's what some of them have said to me:
I am always glad to hear from my readers. I've heard things like...

"Your poem helped me so much, because I am going through the same thing now."
" I read your poem to my girlfriend, she cried and told me she loves me."
"After reading your poem, I felt so grateful for being alive, it really helped me to understand things better, thank you Nancy."
"My friend and me were talking about your newspaper column at work. We agreed with what you said.
"Do you really think that? I read your column. Your so naive."
"I've read your story, it's so romantic, I can't wait to read more.""Are people really like that in real life?"
"You can feel the passion in all your poems. It is really inspiring to me."
"You do such a good job. I love reading your work."

To all of you I say thank you, it is what keeps me writing, that wonderful feeling of helping someone.

I have been writing since junior high school, being published well over 70 times, (I stopped counting after that) since beginning my professional writing career in 1994. I've been published in various publications, this that and the other, since August 1994,and a newspaper columnist for the Altoona Mirror from 1997-2001, including having 5 Books published, 1 Chapbook, 4 E-Books, with another due out shortly.

On my website:
I have provided for you some wonderful Muslim poetry, Books, Merchandise, Resources,even a lovely camel lol.

While I do try to keep all the content of my website Family friendly, Rated G, I do label it rated PG because I do not know what your family standards are or what you may not want your children to learn and read.

So sit back, take a stroll on my website in whatever language is yours, because I have even provided a translator for you.
