Logan knows from experience it can be challenging reaching for one's goals.
In her book, "Wings of an Angel," a collection of poetry, Logan reaches out to inspire others to believe in themselves and pursue their dreams.

"The poetry represents life's lessons of my experiences, and those of others,
because life is hard and people are easily discouraged," said the author. "I want people to know their dreams can always come true, and hope I can get that message across through my writing."

The poem, "Field of Gold," represents the essence of her book in which she wants readers to understand they don't have to be afraid or alone.

"There is always hope," said Logan.

But fear plays a big part in making dreams difficult -- if not impossible -- and she addresses that demon in several of her poems, such as "Silent Tears": "Her heart breaks / each time that she witnesses / the pain of agony and loss, / But she veils her sadness / with determination / to free those imprisoned by fear."

"Most people are ruled by fear, rejection or fear of success," she said. "Fear has a tendency to inhibit people from being able to pursue their dreams and what they are passionate about in life. I want the book to be able to touch each reader individually in some special way in their own life and remind them not to give up."

Logan's favorite poem, "Sands of Time," speaks of overcoming another fear -- love. "It's about keeping love in your heart and being able to be free to love without any type of limitations," she said.

The author knows love having been married to her husband, Dana, for seven years. Husband and wife balance each other. "With everything in life, it requires work, determination and commitment," she said. "For us, it's team work.'

Other poems, such as "Golden Cloak of Light," is about women who have been in abusive relationships. "They don't realize the light inside of them," said Logan.

The extroverted Logan meets the people she writes about in different situations. "Often people come and ask me for advice and at the same time, they inspire me in my poetry," said Logan. "Sometimes I sense people need help, but a lot of times people feel comfortable enough to tell me what they are feeling and what's going on in their life."

"Wings of an Angel," is appropriately named. Wings represent the dreams she has for her readers and Angel is her first name.

No stranger to writing, at 14 Logan began keeping a journal, and tried writing some poetry and short stories in high school.

"During those days it was always about first love," said Logan.

The collection of poems is not just for women. Several of the poems, such as "Sweet Pirate," represents men she has known who have known struggle.

"It kind of represents a lot of single fathers," said Logan. "It's about men who just haven't had enough faith in the gifts that they have. The idea is to help them find their own path."

"Wings of an Angel" was released last December, after which Logan had a big celebration -- complete with an ice sculpture of an angel -- given to her by a friend. "It was my dream to write a book and have it published. I wanted to have the ultimate celebration with people I care about to share it with me."

In addition to helping goal seekers, the author also helps servicemen and women serving with the U.S. Marines in Iraq by sending supplies including phone cards, zipper freezer bags, baby wipes, nutritional and Gaterade powders, AA batteries and travel-size grooming items such as soaps and disposable razors.

On her own she also sends letters or items to the troops, which she is very passionate about. "I'm not sure about (the) war," said Logan. "But it's important that we support the troops and they know they are not forgotten. If we can give them...any type of help, supplies or whatever, it's really important. We have so many freedoms."

Logan sees the troops as a mirror image of what she does. "I think they are doing something they are passionate about," she said. "They are fighting to make our dreams come true, the same way I try to help others with my book."

In life, Logan's goal is to continue learning so she can teach others and they, in turn, will teach others. "It's the school of life," she said.
