I'm feeling to share hopefully it will inspire you whoever feels this .... Last year I shared a poem I wrote The Silence Within, I entered it in a competition and was a finalist which was really pretty awesome. I went on to write a whole book but it wasn't just poetry it was more. I sent it to a publisher and the editorial board described Whispers of the Soul as:
“A poignant, inspired, and assured debut… transfixing, evocative, and beautifully constructed. Each poem captivates, creating a compelling, restorative narrative. Rich with imagery, metaphor, and alliteration, it immerses the reader into a beautifully haunting journey.”
It actually inspired 2 of my friends to write and there journeys are unfolding beautifully because of this ...
Whether facing heartbreak, fear, or stepping into joy, Whispers of the Soul offers balm, breath, and belonging. Some poems gently soothe. Others rise up with wild laughter or sacred rage. Each piece is a reminder of the strength that lives within, even in times of despair. The journey is not linear, but circular, a dance of release, reclaiming, and rising.
So for those that need a reminder never give up on what lights your soul and feels joyful in your heart. Do listen to your intuition I thought that publishing it right away in paperback was what I "should do" and in the joy of it it seemed right.
Then clarity came in after a designed the front cover and the guidance was to go audio..... which I am currently working with..... so rather than following what you think you "should do" have a little faith and trust in where it whatever it is projects, ideas, books, courses, workshops let it lead you. Your heart knows the way you just need to trust ....
