The Path of Possibilities

“It’s not a smooth, straight forward road that leads us to a place of change,

but more a winding, jagged path that trips us up and offers options, often strange…

to us or those around us who are baffled by the choice.

Yet trusting just your instincts while you listen to your inner voice,

can be the most rewarding gift by holding still and strong.

Tho’ sometimes it is slow and painful, thinking it has all gone wrong.

Steadfast and consistent, are the little tricks I’ve found can work.

Instead of watching fear and desolation creeping where it should not ever lurk,

‘round each and every corner and in every little crack,

distracting and confusing every single hope we seem to lack.

So, keep those thoughts and dreams a movin’ forward as you find your pace,

and possibilities will blossom, blessing you with hope and grace.”

Transitions…

“Our weakest link…

points of instability.

Seeing change as impossibility.

 Yet, it is the unfolding of our strong resolve; 
we find when we dig deep to solve…

the problem we’re about to face…

to shake up and reveal to us,

the brand-new person it will make.”

“Pearls of Light by Andrew Pacholyk is a compilation of poems inspired by the author’s personal experiences... This book contains teachings on self-love, confidence, character development, and lessons on love, aging, happiness, and capturing life’s most essential moments. Read Pearls of Light to learn everything you might need to know about life. Andrew Pacholyk’s Pearls of Light is, without a doubt, one of my favorite books… This book has enlightened me on my life perspectives and made me feel grateful for the wonderful and unpleasant things life has given me. “The Winds of Worry” is my favorite poem because I could relate to the meaning behind it. It brilliantly emphasized the value of replacing worry with happy thoughts, making me recognize the significance of one’s mindset in one’s growth… I can’t imagine how difficult it was to compose an entire book full of life lessons that are really helpful, but Andrew did it as beautifully as only a talented poet like himself could. This was well worth the read. Excellent work!”

“Andrew Pacholyk shares valuable life lessons in Pearls of Light: Passion, Poetry and Positive Affirmations. The main element of this work is poetry, but there are also short anecdotes, reflections, affirmations, and open-ended questions to help us understand ourselves better. The author’s purpose is to empower readers and he seeks to inspire us to be better people and learn to express our feelings. The book offers an optimistic perspective that encourages individuals to strive toward being their best. I liked the healthy values taught by Andrew Pacholyk. He writes about the need for unconditional love, based on understanding and humility. He also emphasizes the importance of good deeds. He does not ignore topics such as anger and finding a balance between our lives, thoughts, and emotions. His poems have a personal touch and are supported by insights and advice, which add significant value. I loved Pearls of Light because of the level of attention to detail. This work is ideal for building self-confidence and focusing on a path to happiness and balance.”

“Andrew Pacholyk, again inspires his readers in a well-thought out work of passion, poetry, and positive affirmations. Using his years of experience as a natural healer, athlete, and world-traveler, Pacholyk laces these talents together and produces a relatable journey of self-love and new discoveries. His poetry is lyrical and beats with the rhythm of a clock. I enjoyed his snappy insights on our emotions, his stargazing child, and his poetic look at passing on. I can’t imagine the creativity that fills his mind. By looking at the table of contents, you can see how he takes us on a journey from the unconscious to the conscious. This is a lavish and heartfelt trip that echos in his other books, especially, Barefoot. I highly recommend picking up a copy of Pearls of Light. It not only offers practical advise on topics such as love, finding happiness, and following your path, but is a great reminder of the self-confident and empowered souls we really are.”
