Jessica Johnson Glover is an author, speaker, mental health advocate, and Realtor. She earned a Bachelor’s degree in psychology from Clark Atlanta University. After almost twenty years of living successfully with a mental illness, Jessica realized she possessed the skills and knowledge to help people who silently suffer from mental illnesses. Purposely, Jessica established and founded The Success In Sanity Society (SISS), an accountability tribe for those who are unashamed and ready to successfully maintain their sanity. In this community, Jessica conducts monthly virtual meetings that help individuals successfully manage mental illness and live the lives of their dreams. With the assistance of the SISS network professionals, Jessica, and her team offer expertise, resources, and skills that are needed to not only be successful BUT maintain mental wellness. Jessica is married to her soulmate, Gerald L. Glover, a mortgage professional. They reside in sunny Jacksonville, Florida. Her moments of purposeful self-care include: spending time with her family and friends, listening to gospel music, getting pampered, and binge-watching some of her favorite television shows with her husband.
The first time Jessica Johnson Glover snapped, she walked outside naked with her Gucci bag and African cane. Her sanity left temporarily. However, after spending time in mental health hospitals, Jessica came to terms with her mental illness, and accepted the help and support she needed to win and rise to the top.
However, taking control of her mental health wasn't without determination, a proper diagnosis/treatment, and unyielding faith in God. Today, Jessica is insanely successful - personally and professionally, and she is a champion for those living with mental illness.
Jessica believes that by taking the correct medication-as prescribed- and practicing a balanced lifestyle, those battling mental illness can experience true freedom and live a life that's far from crazy.
Divided into
distinctive sections, Feathered and Furry Friends, Home Fires, Memories,
Wanderlust, Nature, Wanderlust, and Grab Bag, Laundrie’s unmistakably
enthusiastic style shines through. Tales of Gertie the duck are some of my
favorites, invoking memories of childhood pets. I think of Cousin Vic often
when I visit cemeteries, and relive the awe of splendor of natural sites such
as Mammoth Cave with Laundrie. Walking with her through a health crisis is an
educational experience.
Laugh, Cry,
Reflect 2 is more than a collection of stories.
Introducing the set is a list and a reason of some of her favorite influential
books. Rounding out the collection is advice for a long, happy life. Have a
purpose and forgive yourself are expanded upon with lovingkindness.
Enjoyable,
delightful. Highly recommended little bites of adventures from a gifted
storyteller.
She enjoys playing
tennis, pickleball, and having adventures with family, friends, and her dog
Josie.
Everything about the trip and the people involved, the tour guide, the partner, the hookup girl…even Jackson, the former friend, turned out to be anything more than smoke and mirrors.
Throughout the story, which takes place at the turning tide of planetary unrest in political and pandemic turmoil, Tanner’s life seems to parallel to divide between what he knows and what he’s always dreamed of, and what he thought he wanted. Crisis after crisis, both in Cuba and at home, lead him in directions borne of fear and disgust. Havana Hangover could be read as a simple ultimate bad trip novel, but deep down, it’s a warning about the darkness of desire and depravity at every level of society. Richardson’s research and setting come from experience as an attorney and a traveler, smoothly inviting the reader into his world. Recommended for those who enjoy espionage and thrillers without pages of jargon or a host of throwaway characters.
