Meet Jodie Spartz

By Jodie Spartz

    Hello & Welcome to expresspassion4life you amazing awesome human!  

    My name is Jodie Spartz, I was born and raised in the heart of Philadelphia, Pa. I have been weaving stories together since I wrote my first one at 9 years old! Growing up in Philadelphia, I learned early on that life isn't always a straight line no matter how much I wanted it to be. Life is a series of peaks, valleys, and unexpected turns. For a long time, I thought I was just "surviving" those turns. But looking back at the miles I've traveled- from the energy of Philly, where I became a Certified Peer Specialist, more info here:   https://www.bls.gov/careeroutlook/2017/youre-a-what/peer-support-specialist.htm.            Then I became a Behavioral Health Technician aka BHT more info here:  https://www.gcu.edu/blog/medical-studies-sciences/what-behavioral-health-technician        after that I explored the beautiful beaches of Los Angeles California, where I graduated from Loyola Marymount University as a Youth Peer Specialist. Then I visited the stillness of Pineville, Louisiana, and the towering spirit of New York City- this is when I realized I'm not just moving I am growing.    

     I also know now that my writing is more than a craft; it's a testament to an epic story of resilience. During my travels I immersed myself in diverse communities, and have gathered the human experiences that fuel my work. I write with a mission: to shine a light on spirituality, mental health and self-awareness. My journey is a living narrative that is far from over, and I invite you to walk alongside me. You can find my latest reflections and follow my ever evolving story through this brilliant online journal at absolutely no cost to you. Pick a story, read a story and share a story. Trust me it's a lot of fun!   

    Currently I am selling books I wrote and published through Lulu's online Bookstore, that can be mailed directly to your provided address. I can also directly e-mail you an e-book if you prefer, upon request. I am selling these books to cover my last Psychology classes for my BS (Bachelor's of Science). My ultimate goal is to acquire my PHD, continue in my holistic healer journey & get my name in the Guinness Book of World Records. This has been a tough but fun and epic journey and I'm determined to reach my goals. 

I would love your support. If you're interested in reading my short stories they can be purchased here: https://www.lulu.com/search?sortBy=RELEVANCE&page=1&q=Jodie+Spartz&adult_audience_rating=00

 Thank you for visiting my blog and assisting me in fulfilling my dreams to keep in-sighting positive change in our world. 


My Favorite common question


Q.  Jodie, why are you writing these books & why are you so transparent to everyone?

A. Because I understand that mental health struggles exist everywhere, regardless of the setting. This journal is a collection of the pieces I've gathered along the way. I've spent my life thus far studying the landscape of the human heart, focusing on the three things that have saved me time and time again: Spirituality, Sound Mental Health and Self Awareness. I also believe that resilience isn't about "getting through it." It's about what you carry with you once you're on the other side. My writing is dedicated to:

  • Breaking the Stigma: Hard conversations about sound mental health and spirituality that lead to healing.
  • Building awareness: Understanding the "why" behind our emotions.
  • Sharing the Road: Lessons learned from the incredible people I've met across America
I will leave you with this. They say your story starts the moment YOU decide it does. Even though I've been writing for decades, I feel like I'm just hitting my stride. My journey isn't finished, and I'm glad you've decided to walk a part of it with me.

Whether you've visited for inspiration, a shared sense of struggle, or a spark of passion to fuel your own life-you are welcome here.

With resilience and passion,

Jodie Spartz
  

 

Where are you currently at in your own journey of resilience? I'd love to hear from you in the comments!

A Recovery Love Story

By Jodie Spartz
  Thank you Cliff for allowing me to write the love story of you & your Beautiful wife! I found this just tear jerking ❤️        There was a time in my life when my one true love was wine and spirits. I mean I knew drinking wasn't good for me & I played around with the thought of stopping every once in a while, but never enough for anything to stick. I wasn't the AA type of guy, I didn't feel the need to express my problems with a group of people. I didn't think that would be my route to recovery if I ever decided to stop. What I didn't know was that I was right. One day I was driving, on my way to take myself fishing. I had a 12 pack of Bud Light in my ice chest in the trunk. As I was driving I couldn't wait to pop a can open & feel that cold refreshing taste.      As I drove I passed a church tent revival. I slowed down for no particular reason & laughed to myself. I guess I caught them in a moment. Watching them as they were run...

Cilla Lee-Jenkins Book 12

By Jodie Spartz
  Remember book reports when we were in school? For some they were a dreaded terrible thing, for others they were fun ways to recall your favorite book and an easy format to tell someone what the book was about. I've decided to post some reports of books I've read recently; let's jump right in.       This book was given to me as an inspiration gift because it was noticed that I enjoy writing and reading very much. At work during down time I would write short stories and I even wrote the love story of one of my married co-workers on this blog. Matter fact the person that gave me the book! You can read his story here it's called A Recovery Love Story .  Author:   Susan Tan/ Illustrated by, Dana Wulfekotte Title:    Cilla Lee - Jenkins The Epic Story Main Characters:     Cilla Lee-Jenkins, Gwendolyn Lee-Jenkins, Essie Lee-Jenkins, Ye Ye, Nai Nai, Grandma Jenkins, Grandpa Jenkins, Mom & Dad Setting:   This story mostly takes place b...
