Introspection | Inspiration | Creativity

J. L. Smyth looks at life through a lens that captures the visceral and sensory details of experiences like a camera shutter. With a core belief system that one should not only live actively, Smyth’s writing encapsulates how one may do their best to grow as an individual: to nurture inner fortitude, to develop greater compassion, and to become creative. Through various writing modes, she seeks to inspire people to look within for strength and grace, as well as discovering what brings deep, lasting fulfillment. Inspired by nature, photography, travel, reading, and interactions, Smyth weaves these multi-colored threads into poetry, articles, blogs, fiction and non-fiction.
