Reconstruction Anniversary Year #7!!!!

Last day of June already! Thank you to those who have reached out to celebrate 7 years of me being self-published. Here’s my book trailer that was produced by my friend Bradley Evans, the music is by my friend Alejandro Perez’s band, “Melody Memory” such an awesome collaboration! The artwork that you see throughout the trailer are different pieces that are actually embedded through my book by other friends as well such as Samax Amen, Riki Johnson-Atkins, Soukaa and David Rodriguez (who’s painting you also see on the book cover).

As artists, it’s wonderful when you can reach out to people and they help you on the dream path, and then in turn you can help them out with something as well. Feel free to check out the video below for the trailer. 👇🏾👇🏾👇🏾

Shout out to Dee Hill for the author photo, Dawn Adams for the editing and Stacy D Luecker of Essex Graphix for the cover layout and typesetting.

Blessings to all of the author’s who poured into me to get me to this point, collectives and groups…this book started being birthed in Dallas, TX (moving there was truly designed by God…thankful for it). They are ArtLoveMagic, Art Conspiracy, South Dallas Cultural Center and The Writers Block!

Also for those who would like to support by purchasing my first book or all whether it’s paperback or e-copy, you can scroll through my website and not only check out the store, but feel free to read my inspiring blog, check out other publications I’ve been in such as anthologies and much more. Many blessings to all. ✌🏾

Mental Bondage, a poem (Mental Health Awareness Month)

Blessings everyone, I pray all is well. May is also Mental Health Awareness Month. I had the honor of doing a self-care presentation virtually for a wonderful organization in Maryland that is comprised of caregivers and professional support staff that help those with intellectual disabilities. We talked about various ways and techniques they can do that are free and very low cost so they can take really good care of themselves since they are in the roles of caring for others. That was a blessing and I’m thankful for that organization reaching out to me during this month.
.

I decided to finally record this poem that is in my first poetry book, “Reconstruction, Pieces of Life Volume 1” titled, “Mental Bondage.” I talk about some of the battles that some people go through with a mental illness that I have spoken to and in particular the poem is talking about folks who went cold turkey off of all their medications and supplements and it sent them into a downward spiral.

Please feel free to like and share and I invite you to subscribe to my YouTube channel at divinewryte.

I also invite you to peruse through  my website where you can purchase poetry books, videos and podcasts, and an inspiring blog. You can also learn more about my health and wellness coaching practice (Divine Wryte Wellness) where I offer individual and group sessions, workplace wellness stress reduction programs, workshops and so much more.

Many blessings to you and remember to be kind to yourself, know your boundaries or learn to make some and pray for those that are really going through mental health issues and illnesses.

Peace, love and light.
