I am blessed to call this group of 17 men and women my team 🙏💖 Representing different countries and nationalities, they have a shared passion for service and for uplifting people around them. As we get closer to the launch on Sept 1, the team will be posting their responses to the poetry included in the book. Check out their feeds for their thoughts and comments, and to see the other inspiring posts they share! To my team members, thank you so much for your time and willingness to be involved in getting this book project off the ground! I couldn't do this without each of you 💖 💖 💖 Book launch team: @mrscassandragay, @mandy.inspired @hstrymkr99 @heather_a_hancock @erin_anastasia @thejanellekeith @tamibug @angelamhawkins @ewekiiss1217 @lena.731 @lucypearlle @jamesjordan6232 @kimberlylizethvarela @lauraannehayward, Bishal Baishya, Irish Galarrita and Bongiwe Mabaso Global relevance .................................................................................. #poetry #poetrylovers #poet #author #poetrycommunity #peace #love #life #faith #LivingGod #mindfulness #Jesus #inspiration #journal #humanity #spirituality #womenoffaith #roshanjames #writingcommunity #bookstagram #books Seek .................................................................................. #poetry #poetrylovers #poet #author #photography #blackandwhite #poetrycommunity #seeking #love #life #faith #LivingGod #mindfulness #Jesus #inspiration #journal #peace #connection #spirituality #womenoffaith #roshanjames #writingcommunity #bookstagram #books How .................................................................................. #poetry #poetrylovers #poet #author #poetrycommunity #relationships #love #life #faith #LivingGod #mindfulness #Jesus #inspiration #journal #peace #connection #spirituality #womenoffaith #roshanjames #writingcommunity #bookstagram #books This is my weekend escape.

Dear Patrick, I love you and I hope you have the happiest of birthdays. All the kids and I are blessed to have you in our lives. You are the kindest, gentlest, most unconditionally loving man I know. I'm thankful we get to celebrate you today, but I'm even more grateful that we get to spend every day together, laughing and enjoying our time, and caring for each other when things aren't easy. Love you always 💖 .................................................................................. #loveofmylife #happybirthday #blessed #family #poetry #poetrylovers #poet #author #poetrycommunity #love #life #faith #God #mindfulness #relationships #womenoffaith #roshanjames #writingcommunity
