My Life, My Thoughts, An Open Book Paperback – January 17, 2026

My Life, My Thoughts: An Open Book by Michelle Webb is more than a poetry collection-it is a transparent testimony of survival, faith, and discovery. Through raw emotion and God-inspired verse, Webb invites readers on a journey through the valleys of loss, the storms of life's trials, and the triumph of surrendering to God's healing power.This collection was birthed from deep sorrow when Webb's beloved grandfather, Joe Newsome, passed away. Out of that pain came her first poem, "Goodbye," a heartfelt expression of grief and acceptance. From there, her poetry became her voice-a voice that speaks not only for herself but also for the voiceless, unheard, and overlooked.Her story unfolds with vulnerability, recounting the pivotal moment when, during a revival service in Gulfport, Mississippi, a prophet declared, "The Lord said you have something to say." With trembling hands, Webb delivered her first public poem, "The World," and discovered the divine assignment to share her words aloud. That night marked the beginning of her journey as a spoken word poet-one who writes for those who feel silenced by pain but long to be heard.Each poem in this book reflects authentic life experiences and emotions-grief, love, joy, and resilience. Webb does not shy away from truth; she magnifies it, exposing both light and shadow. Her words remind readers that hardship is not the end but a pathway to growth, healing, and new beginnings.My Life, My Thoughts: An Open Book is written for every reader who has ever felt broken, unseen, or voiceless. It is a testament that beauty can rise from ashes and that God's presence transforms sorrow into strength.
