The
Barefooted Soul is
an inspirational book that exalts a powerful voice
from Imelda Roberts' own life. She speaks for
the over a billion children living in poverty,
countless victims of abuse, prejudice, the millions
challenged by immigration, and as a testament
to living a dream.
Unbound from her insurmountable past, a new path
to success was forged in America’s freedom.
A poor child, a homeless scholar, an abused woman,
and a maid in America cocooned as a statistic,
now blossomed in one incredible journey of hopes
and dreams made possible by Imelda’s faith
and a strong belief that the human soul can overcome
any life’s adversities.
From bare feet to the bravest of
hearts, Imelda’s journey also reveals the
shared experience of millions of immigrants including
over 2.3 million Filipinos in the US. Her incredible
journey of courage exemplifies the strength of
the human spirit and one that crosses race, gender,
nationality and religion.
"May you find your own barefooted
SOUL within you…
Selflessness
as you share the innate abilities you have in
you to touch those around you, most especially
the poor, the sick and the hungry.
Obedience
to the rule of law, the ethics of your profession,
but most important to the Sublime Power that moves
the human soul.
Unity for
peace and for the sake of family, region, nation
and the world.
Love for
yourself, for your family, for your friends, for
your country, and even for your enemies.
If we all do these, the storms of hatred, selfishness,
greed, war, and all other evils that destroy our
earth will vanish and once again our barefooted
soul can fly away to a higher place, higher than
any place we have ever been on earth.
Imelda Roberts,
