Heartfelt Meditations – Michaela Cox pt 1

Heartfelt Meditations

Michaela Cox pt 1

Imagine, if you will, you are recently divorced and wondering how your life will proceed. Then, you meet the love of your life. Marriage, children, life is good. Until, unexpectedly spouse dies. Now, your alone again, but responsible for the upbringing of two children. Oh, and did I fail to mention, you have a life-long disability with blindness? And now, you are a single mother of two?

How do you navigate these unchartered waters, on your own, on a trip you were not prepared to take alone?

This is the background for my special guest today, Michaela Cox. Michaela is a six time author with a story to share that includes, what she calls her “38 triple D” going from much tribulation to learning how to thrive in all things in life. Praise God! She was born in Texas but lives in Louisiana (my old stomping grounds…)…

Help me welcome to the program, Michaela Cox! Michaela, thank you for joining us today!

First question, other than that brief information I just shared, tell us in your own words, “Who is Michaela Cox?”

Let’s start with the disability. You were born blind? Is that correct?

Tell us about your background. You’re from the Houston, Texas area?

How did you end up in Louisiana?

How long ago did you lose your husband?

What were some of the immediate issues that you were faced with? How did you deal with them?

How old were your children when this happened?

Were you already an author and writer before all of this happened?

You have authored six books. I believe your first book was “Heartfelt Meditations,” correct? And this was a book of poetry that was inspired by Scripture. Why did you write this book?

Let’s move into your book, “Scripture, Spirituality and Culture: Seeking the Place of Our Faith and Beliefs in Today’s Culture.” What was the inspiration behind this book?

And then we have your book, “Before the Clock Strikes Midnight: A Collection of Truthful and Wise Words for the Journey Ahead.” You wrote this book as a way to pass some pearls of wisdom on to your children as they begin to travel their path in life, correct?

Is this written to children, young adults or mothers?

I want to touch on this book. It seemed, at first, a little different than I was expecting. Your book, “Living the Beach Life: Reflections and Lessons for Life’s Journey Learned in the Waves of the Ocean of Life.” This book is not just about kicking back on the beach drinking margarita’s, right?

Folks, you have heard, really just a snippet of the things Michaela Cox shares in her books. I wanted to try and give you an overview of all she has to offer. She has accomplished a lot, using her talents as a writer, taking care of her boys and, at the same time, encouraging and inspiring others along the way with her books and writing.

I want to encourage you to order one or more of her books. The links are down below in the show notes. In fact, they are very affordable, I would recommend you buy at least two or three. If you have or a part of a book club, these books would be a great addition for your reading material. If you are a mom, especially a single mom – these are basically a must read.
