When life tells you who you are not, these poems remind you who you can become.

Embracing the Power to Live is a poetic journey of resilience, tracing one woman's perseverance through life's hardest moments.

These poems speak to the heart of what poetry does best—reaching ordinary people with an extraordinary truth: you are enough.

Some pieces carry deep emotional weight. Others celebrate the simple joy of language, rediscovered through the playful discipline of syllabic poetry.

Once told she would never marry or achieve her dreams, Marsha Ingrao refused to accept those limits. Her words now break through doubt and shame, offering encouragement, hope, and quiet strength to those walking their own difficult paths.

This is not a self-help manual—it is an invitation.

To laugh
To grieve
To grow
To live more fully

Embracing the Power to Live is for anyone seeking strength, perspective, and the courage to begin again.
