Speaking and Writing
In addition to providing coaching services, I am also a public speaker and writer. I am involved in my local area with several writing groups. I am a member of The Mississippi Writer's Guild and currently serve as secretary of the Central Branch of the Mississippi Poetry Society. These are some of the topics that I provide for public speaking.
- Life is more than surviving
- JOY - Joyously Outliving Yesterday
- Your ICONIC self
- Managing Stress through Mindset Shifts
- Focus on the inner self, for the beauty of self
I also provide copywriting services for businesses. My copywriting services are provided by Today is your CANVAS, As YOU ARE, Write your world BEAUTIFUL™ I love to provide copy for fellow coaches and other service related businesses. If you are struggling with defining the "why" of your business or defining your services, I would love to help you with your copy for your website, copy for emails and copy for newsletters.
An example of copy written for a coach's Facebook group:
Breathe and let go
Nourish your mind in the lush comfort of self-love
Ease your heart into the soft awakenings of trust
Breathe in the full expanse of your journey,
And free fall into the tranquility of new found joy, the freedom of today, lived in moments of serenity, chosen by you, for you.

In addition to copy, I write poems for all occasions. Many of my poems are used for wedding announcements, birth announcements and memorial events.
An example of a poem written for a memorial service:
Johnny Come Lately
How do you feel?
When it comes to the end
Where do you go to fill the need?
To understand the need
To reach out and ask
Help me with my need
I need to fulfill my life
In a brevity of time
Of space
To see the love of each seed’s face
The gentle touch of family
Days gone by
Memories of yesterday do not matter
Only today’s minutes
Staring dangerously in the face of life
While death is breathing
On every laugh and smile
Created
I want to feel youth again
Her gentle caress against my cheek
I want to feel the newlywed kiss of my wife
Hear my babies’ first gasps of life
I want to rest my head on life’s pillow
Hear the gentle comfort of the wind
As it whispers hello, on a crisp fall morn
Eat slices of life, days and nights torn
From the pages of me
Breathe in the fragrance of God’s nature
As fields of greenery blind my eyes with their beauty
Oh, if time could stand still
But, I’m wise, not foolish
I know God’s hand draws near
And if I so shed a tear
It’s not from sadness
But, from the sheer masterpiece
Of my life
I am alive today
And I am free, for a few more hours
A few more days
To paint the picture
That completes me
The one, that when finished
Will have you say
Johnny didn’t come lately
He lived for today ©LMN
