This is the Official Promotional Video for the book “Entangled Within the Nature of Things” by Colleen Ranney – Formerly known as Colleen Smith. Entangled Within the Nature of Things is a collection of fifty heartfelt poems, from childhoods cherished moments to becoming an adult and being faced with difficult decisions. Our passions and focus in life arrive from how we view suffering and pain. These poems travel through childhood memories, divorce, death of loved ones, spiritual growth, and finding the courage and strength to continue into tomorrow. If we are to be travelers in life we must keep moving. We must travel light, and be certain to enjoy the countless sites along the way. Writing allows me to open my heart and my soul and share. Perhaps in some small way my words will touch the heart of my readers and stir passion, healing, and that first step into believing anything is possible. ©2010 Colleen Ranney Original Music by Ryan Ranney ©2010 Ranney Studios.
