New Offering: Affirmations & Prayers for Empowerment and Solace

Affirmations and Prayers for Empowerment and Solace by Tiffany Nicole Fletcher

It’s my joy to share this new digital download, Affirmations and Prayers for Empowerment and Solace.

This 26-page PDF contains the personal affirmations that have kept me afloat through all kinds of seasons. There are affirmations and prayers for grounding, blessing, self-compassion, navigating grief and sorrow, embodying power, calling in help, blessing, abundance, and protection. One of the themes threaded throughout the affirmations is embodied safety – body as home, as safe home – which makes them particularly soothing for survivors of trauma.

“The Woman with the Issue” featured in Heart of Flesh Literary Journal

So happy to announce that my poem “The Woman with the Issue” is featured in Heart of Flesh Literary Journal‘s Issue Seven, released today.

This poem is a reflection on Luke 8:43-48, the story of the woman with the issue of blood. It’s a poem about difficulty and despair, daring faith, relentless hope, relationship, and healing.

National Poetry Month: My Favorite Quotes on Poetry

In honor of National Poetry Month, I created this collection of some of my favorite quotes on the power and art of poetry, by great women poets. I hope it inspires you to write or read more poetry!

**“Poetry is the most intimate of all writing. I want to speak first from me to myself and then from me to you.” –Ellen Bass**

**“Poetry is language at its most distilled and most powerful.” –Rita Dove**

“We can train ourselves to respect our feelings and to transpose them into a language so they can be shared. And where that language does not yet exist, it is our poetry which helps to fashion it.” –Audre Lorde

National Poetry Month: How I Discovered the Magic of Poetry

“My Spirit/His Love” by Tiffany Nicole Fletcher. A peek into my sketchbook.

It’s National Poetry Month! Let’s celebrate poetry!

Poetry has been a part of my life since I was a little girl. One of my earliest memories related to poetry is of a large children’s book I had that was filled with African-American poetry and beautiful illustrations. (Oh my goodness, I found it! This is the book! *tears*)
