A FRESH START

It’s been a while since I’ve posted, and it almost feels sweet to be sitting down at my computer. This past year, I’ve been wrestling with some serious doubts. I nearly stopped writing completely, and I was wondering what I was doing. I took a serious break, and God has been clearly working during this time, as that break allowed me to complete two books! One is a poetry collection, and the other is a children’s book. I’ve been feeling like a failure and struggling with imposter syndrome. Ironic since I now have a published poetry book and another on its way to being published. I was all too consumed by the negative feedback that I lost sight of why I started in the first place. The people who like my work are the people I wanted to reach out to in the first place.

So why stop because the people I do not want to minister to are unhappy? I am writing for the broken-hearted wanting answers amid their doubts and fears. Let’s start afresh; I don’t know what that is going to look like just yet, but I’m thankful for your continued support while I’ve been gone. Let’s start with announcing my Poetry book “Sorrows Refuge”! You can find the book on Amazon and Barnes and Noble, covering topics like; miscarriage, infertility, loss of loved ones, and church hurt. Please consider ordering a book today.

Hi, I am R.D. Jess. I am a christian writer and postpartum doula. My relationship with my God is not a religion but a state of who I am. I love being there for others and find that writing the hard truth is the best way to make people feel less alone.

  1. Congratulations on those books, and welcome back! I’m glad to hear that you’ve worked through those doubts, and God is continuing to work in and through you to reach others in the name of Jesus! Have a good week, and keep at it! Your post encouraged me!
