I'm lost in divinity
Between pages and ink,
Shaking the hand of God
In every stranger I meet.
I've kissed heaven so many times
I write to see it bleed
And when my pen runs dry,
I dance to hear Love speak.
So if time be my salvation,
Then fear be my enemy,
And if my tongue forgets to pray,
All I have to do is breathe.

Alyssa Noelle Coelho

So if time be my salvation,

And if my tongue forgets to pray,
All I have to do is breathe.

What if... there is more?

…more to the tragedies of this human experience and the suffering that plagues this existence?

…more than what life has taught us, over and over again, is beyond our control,

beyond our power, beyond everything we thought we were born here to do?

What if there is an entire world awaiting..

one with light and joy, connection and laughter, music and dance, beauty and awe, and more magic than you dreamed existed?

…one awaiting our exploration, awaiting our fever, awaiting our fingertips,

awaiting all we have to surrender, to heal, to give,

to become?

What if there are guides and mentors, friends and lovers,
shapeshifters and guardians, and other wonders…

awaiting the burdens we carry, the losses we grieve, the wounds we bare,
the pains we feel are beyond living through?

What if there are other parts of us, free and curious…

awaiting our fearless, our determined, and our perhaps-too-simple "what... if..."

What if...

all it took to wake your soul from its slumber and its shackles was a call to remember...

who you are?

Chin up, fellow cub. Welcome to…

“There is a Mystery that many call God, manifesting as Universal Love,
a set of Laws and a Great Process.
That Process works through each and all of us,
and that Process is perfect.
As we discover this fundamental truth in the journey of our lives,
we find that wherever we step, the path appears beneath our feet.”

The Alchemy of the Beast is a breathtaking journey through the ache of loss, the clouds of confusion, the sparkles of hope, and the rush of liberation. This story is both magical and relatable as the dark and muddy parts of healing collide with the glimmer and dance of hidden truths and boundless possibility. The lessons available from (quite literally!) leaps of faith, trusting the obscure, and following the harmony of the heart offer a roadmap for finding one’s way through the darkness and into the vast world of new beginnings.

In this magical story, raw emotion collides with realism as fictional character, Scar, embarks on a soul-searching journey for answers to the questions tearing her soul apart. I found myself laughing, crying, and cheering Scar on as she throws caution to the wind, allowing herself to embrace the fears, doubts, and dreams that create pivotal moments of awareness and adventure along the way.  

Lori Giesey

Magical realism meets humanity in all of its tragedy and resilience in this beautiful story. As someone who has traversed many a dark night in the belly of several proverbial beasts, I found Scar’s journey to be profoundly truthful and utterly inspiring. The wisdom of shapeshifting guides, glimmering crystals, ever-present cups of coffee, delicious dances, and captivating scenes of a determined reclamation of a Lion Heart regularly dance across my mind as I make daily choices to alchemize Life’s inevitable tragedies and reclaim my own.

Chosen

Once Upon A Time...

There was a little girl whose beauty radiated with love for everything around her. She burned with a passion to learn, to experience everything, and to embrace it to its fullest and most infinite capacity. She craved life. She was special. She was important. She was connected. She was meant for something big. And she knew it. She was Chosen... for Love.

And Then... She Grew Up.

In CHOSEN, I have woven a collection of poems I wrote during my 8-year journey back to Love with narrative to encourage and empower other young women who feel confused, angry, and abandoned by Love, and who are trying desperately to find what their soul craves.

We lose love. We lose meaning.

We spend our whole lives trying to find Love again—in relationships, in dreams, in people, in goals, in experiences. We all get glimpses of it, and some of us get lost along the way, forgetting that the relationship, the dream, the experience, is just a taste of Love...not the whole thing. Yet, as we make our way back, we discover that while we were making choices for us, so was Love.

Take a Sneak Peek

Take a Sneak Peek

By the half-way point, my jaw was on the floor. Alyssa Noelle is so talented. This is a must read for any and all women.  You see yourself, your sisters, your friends, someone in each of these expressions. Poems sound too small a word/description. I am moved beyond words, I feel the emotions, all of them, like they are my own, like I’m reading my own diary just written with much better expression. She is to be praised for her honesty and her courage, but more importantly she is to be heard by any all. WOW...

LaVonne Shields

CEO, MCA Accounting Strong

Alyssa's poetry speaks openly, with honesty and vulnerability. Her directness, particularly in "Arise," "Keepsake," "Empty Spaces & Far Off Places," and "Unshackled," invites readers in. This revelatory poetry of self-discovery opens to readers a woman's soul, but helps readers to see themselves as well, and in Alyssa's poetry, readers will find encouragement. These poems testify to the strength of love and the consequent importance of never giving up.

Katie Montagna

Professor of English and Humanities

Alyssa Noelle Coelho has arrived. Her brilliantly crafted, rockstar poetry will awaken, inspire, and begin to unshackle those who have lost sight of themselves and their Love. Profound, unique, and utterly vulnerable, CHOSEN depicts the reality of our journey back to real, raw, and true love.

 

Ryan Leonhardi

M. ED. Educational Leader, Poet

Love. Love. Love. Everyone wants it and needs it, but it's hard to find.  How totally refreshing to read Alyssa Noelle Coelho's Chosen, which tells the captivating story-- in a series of spoken word poems-- of Coelho's own journey towards finding ever-elusive love. At times surprising and unpredictable, but always tender-hearted and closely observed, her hopeful journey offers lessons for us all!

Carlton Smith

Author, Hippie Homeschooling

Every once in a while, Love surprises you by sending a powerful voice to remind of its Presence. Alyssa is that Chosen voice. Dynamic, passionate, purposeful. I have been utterly and profoundly moved by her poetry and its insistent reminder that Love is within reach, that Love is always there and always has been. Her beautiful often intimate, vulnerable and sometimes raw writing resonates deeply and gives one the courage to step out and claim the love and belonging every human seeks. In our busy, frantic lives we forget the simple truth. Love is always there... It has never left. This unforgettable journey back to love will kindle many on their own unique quests to embrace the love they desire. This book is a must read - it will challenge, provoke and change you. And if you haven't seen Alyssa perform her poetry live, you owe it to yourself see her show asap.

Raw, emotional, and visceral, Alyssa showcases the journey of a girl evolving to womanhood and the central force guiding all of us: Love. Her vulnerability and prose framing provide a unique combination that ultimately helps us understand that we are not alone in our search.

Jen Johnson

Writer, Poet

As someone who has coached many authors through the vulnerable process of sharing their stories, I love seeing a talented young woman, writer, poet, artist step onto the scene, into her power, and closer to Love. Alyssa's journey is raw, inspiring, and beautifully written. I have no doubts that Love will use Alyssa's many gifts, her willingness to bare her soul, and her carefully crafted art to wrap Its arms around every young woman who cracks open this masterpiece.
