    About this ebook

    In Incomplete Maps, storyteller and self-care supporter Judy R. Sebastian shares valuable lessons on how to channel your inner strength, rebuild your self-esteem, and heal at your own pace. The collection of easy-to-digest yet eye-opening poetry is filled with enlightening messages. Coping with grief, challenging the norm, exploring sexuality, understanding spirituality, and recovering from trauma are some of them. 


    Incomplete Maps is an invitation to us travelers to explore where we are in the journey of life and understand why we are there. Some of us may have travel companions, while some of us may be traveling by ourselves. It is represented by five travel personas:
    The Explorer – for the ones who are on a path to self-development and growth.
    The Guide – for the ones who are leading others, and sometimes, themselves through the motions of change.
    The Pilgrim – for the ones who are on a spiritual journey to healing and happiness.
    The Pioneer – for the ones who are trying to overcome self-doubt, as they try new things and embrace transformation.
    The Settler – for the ones who are defining and redefining their identities, through their relationships with other people. 

     

    In Judy's words, "Welcome this book like you would a phone call from an old friend." Her debut collection of illustrations and poetry will spark your inner childlike curiosity. 

     

    • The glossy cover is a reminder that we are all connected, like the stars of the cosmos.
    • A thoughtful gift for those who are on the path to self-discovery, self-forgiveness, self-healing, and self-love.
    • A soulful book to accompany you on your travels.
    • An insightful conversation starter for when you're getting to know someone.
    • A wholesome read for those who felt a connection with authors like Rumi, Rabindranath Tagore, Kahlil Gibran, Rupi Kaur, Courtney Peppernell, Simon Sinek, and Brené Brown.

      Summer: A Love Story

      Apr 20, 2021

      It is a squalid time. The body grows tired of being a body. Sweat. Always. A thin film of it on the skin. Do not say dewy. Do not say glisten. I dream of endless green. Of wet. Of rain hammering the Earth. Of buds sprouting. I want to insist on life

      Your Poetry

      I once was a chestnut, I hung from a tree,Like all of the young, I longed to be free.One day I landed, it felt like a mile.I need not have worried, I was in Hutton soil.My work had just started, ‘twas about 1803.That’s when I knew, I’d become a tree.
