Hello Friend,
I'm glad you decided to stop by. I'd like to share something with you...
I've been creating for as long as I can remember. I recall sitting in my room as a kid - lights dim, pen and paper in hand, imagination running wild... day, after day, after day. Writing and creating is what gave me life!
I dealt with my mom and dad's divorce, my verbally and emotionally abusive "step-mother's" rants, the violent death of my brother, the chronic diagnosis of my sister and the downward spiral of life in the fast lane... all through writing. But, I celebrated some of the most joyous times of my life through my writing, too.
I wrote my lifetime friend a spoken word piece about love that I shared with him and our guests on our wedding day. I shared through poetry recitation with my best friends and god-parents of my children for their 15 year vow renewal ceremony. I also had the pleasure of writing and imparting a poem entitled "Love's Prayer" to my sister and brother-in-law on their wedding day. These moments were, indeed, some of the most fulfilling moments that my gift of poetry has made room for.
Throughout life, people came and went; possessions did too. But there were three things that remained constant... Jesus Christ. My family. And my journals.
Now, I write, create and produce all kinds of works to build Kingdom warriors and to inspire others toward healing and wholeness. My aim is exhortation and the encouragement of women (and men) to endure life, heal gracefully and evolve beyond our wildest imagination... through our submission to God, Jesus Christ and Holy Spirit. I recognize the truth in scripture, that the words and energy we put out in the Earth truly do have the power to heal. And, I like to use poetry, spoken word and creative productions to plant these seeds of hope.
I am humbled that God chose me to serve in this way. I pray that God blesses you abundantly and fills your cup with sustained peace and prosperity. I also hope you enjoy your time here, and leave inspired.
Peace & Blessings,
J. Holmes
