F I N D I N G M Y P U R P O S E ...
I believe life is about taking a true look at yourself through God's eyes (and His son Jesus Christ), letting go of the past, making important changes, growing, and finding your purpose. By doing this in our own unique way ... we can all SHINE brightly and leave this world a little bit better than we found it. I believe this is what it means to be a true artist in this lifetime.
My first published book of poetry and spoken word CD was a m i r r o r reflection of my soul in 2005 and 2006. It was a time when spiritual hunger, anger, deppression, fear, isolation, and confusion ruled my life and I was disconnected from who I truly was. Today those experiences are my creative testimony about becoming more than a survivor of childhood sexual abuse.
God willing, Fall 2009, I will be releasing my second book of poems, my second CD (of spoken word and songs), and my company. They express the new me. They embody the Ingrid D. Johnson I am now. I mean the Ingrid I always knew I was and could be ... a woman made in my creator's image, strong enough to admit that there is was no good in me, except the good that GOD has placed in my heart ... that makes me want to be "a voice for the voiceless" and stand up for those who can't speak for themselves.
-Ingrid D. Johnson -

Book Summary Destruction via the Mirror Image The book, "Destruction via the Mirror Image" is about twelve astronauts picked to explore outer space in hopes of finding a discovery interesting to mankind. Once in space, they encounter a creature on the ship. This creature is so hard to figure out that they must find the monster's weakness in order to destroy it. On this space exploration, lives are sacrificed, passion and romance erupts while blackmail attempts surface. In the meantime, the astronauts are dealing with their potential destruction as the creature learns how to create offspring through its victims. After the demise of several of the astronauts, one unlikely astronaut figures out the monster's kryptonite. Will this astronaut save the others in time? Will he find a way to destroy the monster and become a hero? Author Stanley Pitchford weaves an interesting and unique science fiction novel that explores outer space and shows what can happen when we attempt to address the unknown universe.
Hi Ingrid, stopping by to wish you all the best for your upcoming birthday. I hope it is filled with Peace.

I have written a poetry book of peace called “Aspire Peace” and and will donate all proceeds from sales of the book to charity, please add the site for this book and pass the peace along... http://www.myspace.com/aspire_peace
Dear Ingrid, I cannot thank you enough for your kind support and friendship! Welcome to our ever growing family of friends. I'm really happy you have decided to become friends of the Wake Up (to child abuse) MySpace Music page. Just by adding us to your friends you have already demonstrated that you have a good heart and are willing to take a step towards ending the hidden suffering of so many.
We also dare to hope you will be able to persuade some of your other MySpace friends to join our just fight against child abuse by adding us to their friends too. The larger our family of friends becomes, the more people we will be able to reach and educate about this terrible ‘disease’ sweeping across the world which blights the lives of more children than you may imagine. Please take a moment to read some of the statistics on child abuse highlighted on our profile and within our blogs. I am sure you will be just as shocked and appalled as we are when you find out the full extent of this scourge.
The innocent children suffering such terrible abuse need all the help they can get. Increased awareness of this foul concealed crime will help to prevent more children living through the agonising torment which I was forced to experience.
I hope you have a great day and look forward to hearing from you soon with your views and comments on this important issue,

McCain, or Obama, or neither for President?
Write me back on my wall with your choice…There’s no right or wrong answer.
