Embrace is Two!

Today marks the second anniversary of Embrace. It’s the second book in my Soul-Seeker Collection series, which is a collection of three poetry books, which I started writing in 2020.

I have shared my poetry writing journey previously, and you can read about it here.

As a reminder, the first book, Embody, is an exploration of what was happening to me at the time I wrote it. It was personal and specific to my healing. Embrace is about ebbs and flows and cycles. I was in a stage of flux at the time, moving from South Carolina to Idaho, and it made me reflect on transitions. Embolden, the third book, is about how to move forward in a new way, how to make the best out of my circumstances, and how to harness our connection to the universe.

Over roughly a year, I wrote hundreds of poems. The three books in the Soul-Seeker Collection consist of nearly 300 poems.

Embrace is about cycles and is inspired by astrology and Buddhist life stages, but not directly linked to them. It is divided into twelve chapters based on the twelve stages in the Wheel of Life and twelve signs in the zodiac. The poems are organized in such a way that the beginning is about the start of cycles and the end is about completion. Cycles inspired me because life is about ebbs and flows and nothing is permanent.
