Brave Healer Productions Releases the Third Volume of 100 Poems and Possibilities for Healing

BETHESDA, Md., Jan. 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Brave Healer Productions announces the release of 100 Poems and Possibilities for Healing,Volume 3, two years after the launch of the original best-selling title.

The latest volume is a collection of 100 poems written by a multicultural, multigenerational group of poets, therapists, life coaches, ministers and healers who also offer prompts readers can use to facilitate their inner healing.

It contains a foreword by Asha J.W. Hardnett, the Purpose Doula, who writes, "This collaboration is brilliant. I've previewed this collection and worked through several of the exercises these healers have curated. I know this book is life-changing. These writers didn't share polished performances; they offered their transformed truth, their sacred scars, their hard-won wisdom. They wrote from a place of healing, even if not fully healed, understanding that healing is a process, not a destination."

Lead poet Laura Di Franco — Brave Healer Productions' CEO — said, "You don't have to 'get' every poem. There's no test or right or wrong answer. Just notice what you feel. Notice when a line makes you pause, or when something stirs in your chest. Sometimes it only takes one sentence or phrase to shift everything."

Di Franco's poem For My Soul's Sake is featured.

Jewels in the forest
catch some beams
and flicker crystal rainbows
toward my eyes

Caribbean blue skies
hold the sunrise
like a spotlight
setting the greens on golden fire

My pace slows
my inhale deepens
the silence fills my ears
The first cicada interrupts

I've seen the heron before
four-feet tall
taking flight
leaving goosebumps in his wake

Everything is a miracle 
vibrates through each cell
The cell he sits in
a picture that begs to differ

Each step I placed down
on the softer earth
each breath I get to take
reminds me it's my choice

For my soul's sake
I choose miracles
and ease my mind
through this gorgeous day

There are also poems by Melanie Barnes (Da Evangelist), Moody Black, Brigette Burton, Jean Voice Dart, Christine Falcon-Daigle, Lyn Veneziano Fry, Norman Gordon, Elizabeth R. Kipp, Dylan T. MacDonald, Francesca MacDonald, Melissa T. Maxwell, David D. McLeod, Marquis "13 of Nazareth" Mix, Rev. Dr. Karen Schuder, Sensei Timothy Stuetz, Dinahsta "Miss Kiane" Thomas, Lulu Pearl Trevena, and Angela Valis.
