Free Shipping Promo on Poetry Books

LAST DAYS OF FREE SHIPPING PROMO 🗣️🗣️🗣️ all three of my paperback poetry books are available for FREE SHIPPING with code “BIRTHDAY” in honor of my son’s upcoming birthday. You can go to the store here and at checkout, use the code BIRTHDAY for free shipping within the United States. 1 book is $15 and the poetry set is $40.00.

Self-Publishing is not an easy task, coupled with battling a health condition and being a single Mom, but a necessary journey that I’ve taken 3 times with my books and working on books #4 and #5. Support a sista by purchasing my inspiring poetry books. Here is a testimony from a couple of readers: “I finished this amazing collection of poetry, and the beautiful story being told, eager to learn more about your journey and a look into your heart, life and soul…a glimpse at your journey, your struggles, obstacles, challenges and ultimately strength and reconstruction. Something we can all relate to on one level or another.” Selina S. Avid Reader.

I’m transparent because someone out there is sitting on their book, their story and it’s time to write it and get it self published!

Thank you to EVERYONE who has supported whether purchasing books, e-books, attending workshops, downloading the recorded ones and/or simply sharing and spreading the word 🙏🏾

Much love! Promo ends 11:59PM EST on Monday, August 1st!

Cheers!

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:

https://librarycalendar.fairfaxcounty.gov/event/8531964

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!!!!

Marathon to Inner Peace, a Poem

                            Finishing the 2007 Nike’s Women’s Marathon

Many blessings to all! It’s been a while since I shared a poem. Enjoy, “Marathon to Inner Peace.” You will hear that we were challenged in my Writing to Wellness class hosted by Creative Suitland and facilitated by Spoken Word artist and Poet Extraordinare C. Thomas to write about the journey to inner peace…do you give up because it’s taking too long or keep going?

Healing is painful and is not a Sprint, just how I completed the marathon in the picture above…it’s one step at a time and you find your pace. However, the other side is a great reward and much deserved! You deserve to heal!

Thank you for stopping by and if you love what you hear, consider supporting this season by purchasing one or all of my poetry books you can head over to the store.

I’m having a special where each set of all 3 poetry books while supplies last, will get a free magnetic bookmark that has encouraging words on it. Each set is $40 plus shipping and you can check out my website for more details in the store.

Peace and love!

Marathon to Inner Peace ©️ 2021, Serena Wills
