Noelle Nicolls is a young Pan-Caribbean writer trained as a professional journalist. She could very well be the spokesperson for all that is healing and useful about cathartic writing, although this was by no means her ambition. She launched two small businesses shortly after graduating from university and orchestrated plans to build a uniquely Caribbean media and communication empire. She never would have guessed her biggest test to her talent would be writing herself back to life after losing the love of her life.
When tragedy blindsided her, she only had one motivation: to write. She converted her online political blog into a public memoir chronicling in real-time her journey to nurse her love back to good health and then love him in his grave. For some six-months she conversed with God and her beloved in open love letters. She poured out the raw emotions that streamed from her spirit. Over 1,500 unique readers logged on to share her pain and find their own personal healing.
Her most popular posts were: “I think I missed the joke: My Man of Steele is gone”, “A Prayer for all who love Steele: Thank You and Perfect Love”, and “If Heaven is such a great place, what are we all waiting for?”
She inveigled her followers to join in the cathartic process by writing their own letters. Her instructions asked them to write a short note specifying one wish they had before they died, one thing they were thankful for and one thing they wanted to say to Steele. She read these notes to her love on his death bed attempting to create a spirit of hope, gratitude and love.
In the past, most people experienced Noelle’s talent, passion and fierce determination in her roles as athlete, student leader, and entrepreneur. Her networks stretch from the Bahamas, where she grew up; to Europe, where lived and traveled; to Africa, where she journeyed; to Jamaica and the Caribbean, where she lived and worked; and North America, where she interned and continues to connect with a network of friends, family and business associates. She is known in all quarters as woman with a fearless spirit and zest for life.
None of this compares to the passion people experienced reading about her transformation journey with her Man of Steele. Through her writing she seeks to communicate with the soul of the world and manifest inner-peace. Her personal mission is to be love, laughter and light. She may only have a quarter of a century’s worth of life experience, but her understanding of love, loss and life is something many come to know only in their twilight years. The universal emotions in her work will touch anyone who has ever had to journey through self discovery.
