Awakened Revelations: From the Heart of a Kingmaker

By BrennEl Hornsby

BrennEl Hornsby has been a conscious seeker of hidden truth for as long as she can remember. This search has gifted her with the realization that creating a strong connection to ones Higher Self, or intuitive guidance, results in opening to an All Knowing navigator to lead the way in finding exactly what is being sought after. Often, the answers simply await our recognition.
Awakened Revelations: from the Heart of a Kingmaker is a collection of revealing and powerful poems, sharing deep and prolific wisdom that speaks of triumph, change, expansion, and awakenings in a world that appears less recognizable with each day. This book is intended to assist in the unraveling of a greater truth regarding the reality we share, and how the unseen aspects of that truth impacts our experiences, both individually and collectively. Within each poem is a gentle reassurance that each of us possesses the capacity to create the kind of world we can each share in joy, trust, respect, and love.

BrennEl Hornsby

BrennEl Hornsby, M.A., L.P.C., M.A.C., is a graduate of Eastern Michigan University and spent twenty-five plus years as a licensed mental health and addiction clinician. The task of therapeutically assisting others in unraveling the distortions in their own realities, as well as in the mass reality we all take part in co-creating, brought about profound revelations in the minds and hearts of her clients, as well as herself. One of those revelations identifies the perceptive, deeply sensitive, and socially marginalized to be the first to identify the myriad distortions of our reality, and most always the first to attempt to move towards resolving them. She is the mother of one adult son, and is currently enjoying her first desert-living experience while wondering what took so long for her to get there.

Acknowledgments

To Dad, whose heart is as big as all Universes, combined! Your love, words and wisdom never went unheard; unfelt. You taught me to think outside the box, trusting in little that my eyes could see, and all the while, doing life my own way. I have often discovered many deep truths by having done just that! How I have always adored you! Thank you, Delores Richardson, for having often shared your deep appreciation for my poetic inclinations. Again and again, you encouraged me to publish these pieces. Well, here they are, my solid, first, and constant friend, and sister! Thank you for your persistence, your wisdom, and love, and for sharing in my growth as a woman. I also want to thank you, Carole Neal, for your deep appreciation for me as a person, and the perspectives we have shared with one another over time. We have surely pushed one another to grow and expand. Thank you for being the co-creator of our sister’s sharing laughter survival team. You are a huge part of my expansive comfort zone. To Timothy, I want to say thank you for allowing those of a spiritual tradition that you had very little understanding of, to participate, in a sweeping way, in your healing. I know, for a fact, that those loving souls did not assist you against your will. Through your loving wife you allowed the power of their partitions on your behalf, along with the prayers of many others, to flow through you. That was an important gateway for you to enter, and you courageously walked through it! I was not there, but it was still beautiful to witness through my heart! We all need that kind of trust! Rebecca Brown (yes, I used your gubment issue), you too, have kept me laughing and growing since we came into the blessing of meeting one another some years ago. Your levels of awareness, personal insight, and support have been pivotal to my own expansiveness, as well as to my continued creative thinking. Both you, and us, will only grow stronger. Thank you, sister! To my stunning friend, Omitayo, I say a huge thank you! Never in life has anyone heard my voice, and then revealed me, back to me, within only moments of our initial meeting—over the phone! You read to the very core of who I AM! Part of me is still reeling! Your laser insights are valued, no end! Sweet sister, you are such a rare and beloved blessing! Deb, thank you for your wisdom and broad-minded perspective. You are a natural healer who has personally faced down every doubt that ever crossed her expansive mind! Many blessings to you, and your gift! Robbie Montgomery! Your quiet, elegant, immense intelligence, and infinite strength are nothing short of masterful! One of these fine days you will realize just how truly and deeply extraordinary you are, and have always been! Thank you!

Melissa Anderson, Teacher/Warrior: have that etched on a nameplate and put it on your door! You are the perfect combination of educator, therapist, and harbinger of higher truth! You are also my very dear and loving colleague/friend. So insightful and gifted, you are! To Paula: a big thank you for looking out for me! Everyone needs to be blessed with someone so loving and kind. Your thoughtfulness is a saving grace, precious friend! To the absolute core of my world, Khary: you fashioned the Kingmaker as much as the Kingmaker fashioned you! It is you to whom this
