She hopes to convey that people-pleasing is contrary to pleasing God. She strives to be honest in the truth that has helped her get to her authentic place in life. She has emotions and feeling, but are not now lead by them. She hopes to express the deep within her that gives her the hunger for the things of God. Anna Jacobs Scott graduated from Louisiana Tech University with a B.A.degree in Social Welfare/Psychology. She also obtained her M.B.A. in Strategic Leadership from Amberton University while working as a stockbroker at Fidelity Investments. She is often reminded that she is just a Pilgrim passing through; this earth is not her home.

Anna Jacobson mixes up the fiercely serious with the whimsical in her second book of poems, exploring a daily life of navigating small rituals and routines along with anxiety, a crippling companion.Anxious in a Sweet Store is Anna Jacobson's second illustrated poetry collection where the 'sweet', whimsical, humorous, and quirky is juxtaposed with the 'anxious' and disabling forces of mental illness. Themes of food, family, dreams, and culture crystallise, while the poet's mind is fizz bang sherbet on the tongue. Anxious in a Sweet Store is an inventive collection of poems that build and enrich each other across threads of music and anxiety and beyond.
Now I knit myself back into a human.It's hard work relearning the steps -slip-stitch, drop-stitch, pick-up stitch, loop.I get into a rhythm. The pattern is complex -I drop a few stitches.The holes form gaps in my memory. Knitting visions and memories, Anna Jacobson's collection traces the skeins of lost histories and the spaces of dropped stitches. Exquisite and whimsical, these poems bear witness to the broken and healed. Gentle but robust, these are poems of personal resilience, framed by explorations of Jewish culture and family and fuelled by a boundless and exhilarating imaginativeness. Includes B&W internal illustrations by the author.
Set in 1877 Kyoto during the early years of the Meiji "Restoration" Era, samurai daughter Maru Hosokawa is thrust into a life opposite how she grew up. Her father has surrendered his sword with other samurai, assimilating into a role as a civilian merchant. As his work takes him further and further from home, she is left to find work of her own to help rebuild the family wealth — and protect herself, "just in case," her father says. But during the summer festivals, ghosts begin appearing before Maru. Unsure of where to turn or who to trust, Maru fends for herself, facing an abusive employer, unreliable friends, and insecurity at home. In the search for answers, a kitsune offers to help in exchange for Maru's aid in confronting a demon rampaging Kyoto at night. As summer passes on, more ghosts appear, plagues sweep through the city, and a stench of blood in the streets, and rumors of a samurai rebellion obscure reality, driving Maru to make a choice against all instincts, to save herself, her father — and Kyoto. Inspired by true historical events and based on myths of yokai, this story began taking shape first in 2010. With guidance by historians both in Japan and the US, subject matter experts in geisha, kimono, and samurai life, and countless beta readers and supporters, Natalie Jacobsen has carefully crafted this historical fantasy to reflect 19th century life during the tumultuous, society-altering leadership of Emperor Meiji... just with a few more ghosts.
