About Me |
|
~ Miriam "Mimi" Jacobs is an author, poet, and professional speaker. Prior to this, Mimi was employed with the U.S. Postal Service for 21 years. Miriam showed an early aptitude and love for creating, tinkering, and writing. She was first published while still in high school in the school's publication, "Jabberwocky". Today, Mimi is making a tumultuous presence both in print and online. But more importantly, her readers and fans love her, and her work. Much is to be appreciated; Jacobs is a master of several literacy genres and the author of seven books including, Illuminations: Poetic Inspiration, Embracing Candace, My Name is Not Monkey Girl, and 25 Ways to Make $125.00 or More After Dinner. She is also penned How to Jump From a Ferris Wheel & Land on Your Feet, the first of a ten volume series. The book is a multi-author anthology with a theme of, "From tragedy, to triumph." In March, 2007, Mimi launched her highly-acclaimed publishing company on a shoestring budget, and in a make-shift small office in her living room. The name was contrived as a tribute to her two granddaughters, Candace and Alyse. Her enthusiasm has helped her shape her branding and build a dynamic team around her including an editor, proof reader, illustrator, and full-time publicist. In just one month, Candalyse Publishing more than quintupled in size, and tripled its revenue. Mimi is a life-time New Yorker and has the accent to prove it. She currently resides with her husband, Charles, her granddaughter, Candace, and their pets. Five years into recovering from Major Depression, Mimi seeks the love and support of friends both in cyber world and the real world. "When we embrace each other as fellow human beings, we are living with unconditional love, with unconditional kindness and with compassion. As we raise our children, we must instill in them these basic human qualities. Love makes the world a much better place to live. Today I love myself as I love my fellow human beings." ~Miriam L. jacobs ~ Communication is priceless and desirable in all forms. Feel free to message me or comment to me. I would love to chat with you about life, living, family, hope, inspiration or anything whatsoever. ~ Depression... it's no joke. If you know someone who thinks that suicide is an option, do something to help... this just might be a cry for help from the darkness that depression has taken them. Accentuate the positive, eliminate the negative! ~ Through the grace of God and living the 12-Steps I am sober 18 years, doing it One Day At a Time. My Name is Not Monkey Girl was written to promote tolerance and compassion and to raise awareness for children born with physical differences. $9.97 Plus shipping & handling |

My 28 year old brother, Aaron, who died trying to save his family from burning in a house fire.. his efforts were futile and all 5 died violent and painful deaths. ~ R.I.P Three Little Angels ~ by Auntie Mimi Awoke with thoughts of angels Danielle came to mind that pretty little special girl who left the world behind Too soon, so soon she wasnt even four yet When God said come here my child Come meet me at the gate of Heaven. Awoke with angels flying all about my head I saw Susan, sweet Susan laying lifeless; she was dead God knew why He took her This innocent child of two Couldn't understand it then Not sure if I really do And Shantel, the oldest of the three With beauty, brains and as wise as she could be Her life was short, only six when she died for all of my sweet angels a river of tears we all cried. Awoke with dreams of angels they are always in my heart Not a day ever goes by When the moments that are dark Fill me with sadness, overtaking my soul sending me over the edge to a dark and lonely road where I sit and contemplate my angels who are gone who left this world too soon And flew up to the Beyond. I know that they are happy laughing bouncing with glee But, I sure do wish I had them sitting right beside me Rest in Peace my pretty angels you now belong to God Someday we'll meet again In the Great kingdom of the Lord. (This poem is dedicated to the memory of my three nieces who died tragically in 1987 when a house fire roared. They are in Heaven with my brother and their mother. God bless their souls.) .
