Love Is…Poetry Series Gratitude Post!!

GRATITUDE POST: There are not enough words to describe the amount of gratitude that I have for being able to design and facilitate the, “Love Is… Poetry Series” sponsored by Fairfax County Public Libraries.

This 3 part series walked people through various forms of poetry such as Free Verse, dispelling the myth that all poems have to rhyme, Narrative and tonight we  concluded with Pantoum poems.

Being able to share my love of poetry with people through teaching has been magical and a dream come true! Thankful for everyone who signed up, participated, spread the word, shared and encouraged me. The energy has been electric, loved how people stepped out their comfort zones, wrote poetry AND shared!!!

Stay tuned for more offerings. “Love Is…Poetry Series” will be back!

Join us next Tuesday, February 22nd at 7pm EST is Self-Publishing 101 & Poetry! You can sign up below. Cost is FREE!!! Sponsored by Fairfax County Public Libraries:

This is only the beginning and as a loved one told me this weekend, “You have put in the work and it’s your time.” AMEN!

Much love, birth your dreams and be obedient to the call. I could have been scared to teach…but when I say it’s been a beautiful experience…it’s a true blessing! It started with Self Publishing classes…health and wellness coaching topics and now…teaching forms of poetry!

Thank you to the poets who taught me and paved the way!!!!

Here are a couple of testimonies about 201:

“I have taken a few novel writing classes and read various books on fiction writing.  In comparison, I found Serena Wills did a great job of compressing so much useful information, along with great insights, in a relatively short amount of time.  She also was great at answering the viewers many different types of questions, which is not always the case online.”

John B.

It was a really amazing session and Serena gave the audience a lot of great take-aways. Monica L.

Hope to see you TONIGHT! Be well!

Happy New Year 2022!

 

Blessings everyone. As we enter a new year, I learned a lot of lessons from 2021. One very important one back in September through the Writing to Wellness Workshop for Women facilitated by Kim B. Miller (Poet Laureate of Prince William County in VA), was that it’s okay for all of us who think we’re super women and men that rock a multitude of capes…to let them go. Yep ..I said it. Passing on knowledge.

My poem says it all. Enjoy, God bless each of you and thank you all for rocking with me in 2021 poetically and through the wellness world. Let go in 2022 and be free!

Feel free to check out my website for more writing adventures, epic poetry, recorded workshops and a place of peace.

Happy 2nd Anniversary to The Awakening, Pieces of Life Volume 2

Something super special happened 2 years ago to date…the release of my third poetry book, “The Awakening, Pieces of Life Volume 2!”

It was a super cold evening (literally about 24 degrees or so), but that didn’t stop people from coming out to support! We had a great time!!!

Honored and blessed to keep pushing in my purpose and touching many people’s lives through my gift of poetry.

If you would like a copy of The Awakening OR any of my poetry books (paperback and e-books) or to download either of my Self Publishing recorded workshops then go to the store: https://serenawills.com/store/

Here’s the book trailer produced by Nicki Mayo

 

Thank you everyone! Happy 2nd Anniversary to me and my book baby, “The Awakening, Pieces of Life Volume 2.”
