In her book, God's Gift To Me, I Share With You-Book One, Doris has written more than 150 inspirational essays and poems about every facet of life. Doris takes her readers along a literary journey that she has traveled herself. Her essays and poems deal with love, laughter, happiness, sadness, birthdays, graduations, and more.
As an example, Doris dispenses advice in the chapter, "Keys to Locked Doors":
Do you have direction in your life? If you don't have an inclination of where you are going, you are bound to get lost. Set a destination of where you want to be. For example, think about where you would like to be a year from now. If you are not content with your situation at this time and are looking for a way to change yourself and your way of life at present, then take time to look in the mirror.
Really look at yourself. Tell yourself you can do whatever you have to do to like this person in the mirror a lot more than you do right now. Maybe, you think you like yourself. Would someone who likes himself or herself be doing what you are doing to you? You know you are shortchanging your growth when you keep yourself locked up inside. Open the door to new experiences to bring out the best in you. It is there if you only give it a chance…
You have the key to your destiny. The key to unlocking the doors that so far you have kept closed. There are challenges to meet. Gambles to win, by your own hard-earned efforts. These things are waiting for you to open up your life to new stability. that is something we all need in our lives to succeed.
In her sequel, God's Gift To Me, I Share With You—Book Two, Doris shares her wisdom through a collection of over 200 prose and poems for anyone who needs to make sense of this world and chooses to thrive nonetheless. It is evident that Doris has done a lot of soul-searching and is confident in herself and writes to inspire others.
In the introduction of her sequel, Doris explains that she was 50 years old when she started to like herself. She tells her readers that they do not have to wait until that age to learn to like themselves. She hopes that her book will help lead readers to their own self-discovery:
“A lesson to learn is that you need to communicate how you feel and don’t hold things inside. The more you let out what is inside, the better you feel.” She touches on this in the poem, “Mirror Mirror”:
God's Gift To Me, I Share With You—Book One and God's Gift To Me, I Share With You—Book Two are for those who are willing to take inspirational journeys.
