Happy Fun Fri-Yay my Friends!

The moment we have been waiting for has arrived with the book release, Wounds I Healed: The Poetry of Strong Women, edited and curated by No.1 Amazon Bestselling poet Gabriela Marie Milton and our publisher, Ingrid Wilson of Experiments in Fiction, featuring original artwork by Nick Reeves, which is the icing on the cake. I am so proud to be a featured in it, along with so many talented writers, both women and men.

My cart is full and with my order and that alone, should bring us to being #1 for sure.. 😂. I can’t wait to read everyone’s poems. Here’s the Amazon link, so you can order your copy here as well and share it with your family and friends.

Amazon description:

Award-winning authors, Pushcart nominees, emerging poets, voices of women and men, come to the fore in this stunning, powerful, and unique anthology. These poems testify both to the challenges that women face in our society, and to their power to overcome them. A memorable collection of over 200 poems by more than 100 authors, this anthology is a must-have for anyone. We all can benefit from the poetry of survival, and of healing. We all can benefit from the experiences so beautifully evoked in this book. We can all come together to emerge triumphant from pain.

Gabriela hosted a Twitter talk a couple of weeks ago on our upcoming book, which encapsulated her mission in sharing this book around the world at such and timely time. It was so poignant, giving thanks and hope to woman that paved a path for us in history, moving us from a patriarchal place to freedom, with the hope of ending oppression, violence, sex trafficking, bigotry etc of woman in all segments of life. It was a rich talk and lively discussion.

I was so honored she invited me to talk about what my poems meant during the talk. Sadly, there has a glitch in our technology that day, so we couldn’t tape it. Right before we went on, I practiced mine and recorded the origin of my poem. This is not exactly what I said, but pretty close to it, if you care to have a listen.

Join us for the launch party!

We will be holding a launch party tomorrow at 3pm BST/10am ET. Many of the poets from the anthology will be reading their work live, and the event will be live-streamed via my YouTube channel: https://youtube.com/channel/UCKEXxOdT6LVzjK4-pZNByVg

And how about those Warriors!!!! 💖💖💖 STEPH 💖💖💖 Congratulations! We Love You!

You did it1!

I hope to see you at the launch party. On a really fun note, we are heading to see my son for the first time since he moved to Hermosa Beach, 3 months ago, in a matter of minutes. We’re so excited to share some time with him, So, if I miss you tomorrow, that’s why but I’ll be with you in spirit. I won’t be as active on my blog or reading this weekend but I’ll catch up with you when I return Monday.

Remember you are stronger than anything that happens to you!

Blessings of Love, Strength and Courage today and Always,

💖
