TRUCE Magazine Memphis

    I have always beleived in helping others. Although my family and friends may argrue that I am the most neediest person they know.  Prehaps this might very well be why I feel so called to help others. My prayers have always been God lead me to a place where I can make a difference. Day after day I have prayed to be called to a ministry in Africa or somewhere abroad. I just beleived I could make a difference by sharing my writings and ideas about survival and creating great things from little to nothing. Yes, I have those skills. Well, God finally answered but the answer was far from what I beleived it would be. Yes, He has given me the oportunity to serve Africans. Yes I will use my gift of writing to create major change. However, God in His infinite wisdom has landed me smack down in the middle of the tornado torn neigborhood of St. Louis. God is truly a comedian. He provided a000000 new husband  to love and support me. Then He said get to work and start by fee...

    She struggles to the kitchen early.  Hair golden gray eyes shinny but tired. The holidays are just not the same. She walks a little slower these days. Her knees creek from the pain in her joints. Still she knows her family will be expecting something delicious from her kitchen and she never disappoints.  She speaks out loud "Alexa play me some  70's music." she commands.  "Playing your favorites" the box replies.  This thing always knows what I need she hums as Glady's Knight  begins to play.  With renewed energy  she grabs a big ole pot and begins her labor of love. 

When God gives you an assignment    people will question your ability, What I am learning is this work is not meant to be understood it is meant to be done. I have spent most of my life asking the why and the how, and as I listen to the stories of those who have been called to do the unpopular works I am grateful for the opportunity just to learn. Today my greatest challenge as an editor is to listen and wait for the universe, we call God to give me the what, why, when and how. After all I did call it a TRUCE.  If you are reading this blog congratulations, you are maintain mental clarity   and staying alert. Please subscribe and follow for more .

  Hello social media world. I am Hannah Jeffers Editor in Chief of TRUCE Magazine Memphis a local Magazine designed to promote unsung heroes in the Memphis area. Recently I was encouraged to create a blog that would allow the public to follow me as I worked from scratch to     a physical hard copy work that would encourage and motivate others. Intially I refused.   Then today happened! I woke up, Thank God, but from there it went all downhill. Everything went black. My laptop got fried and my cell phone has a terrible virus that will no longer let me use it. As a writer, I immediately began to journal my frustration, and a mental bright light switched on. I realized that is exacty what a blog is. I hope you wills join me in my journey of sharing with you all the daily frustrations of being Editor in Chief of an upcoming literate work in this difficult industry.

  It stands to reason that we are never truly free. We may experience some freedoms, however as a civilization we can never do what ever we want to do. There is no real way this could ever work. We all have different desires different ideas about what feels right and what feels wrong. Laws are made to keep us in check and to stop us from acting out our urges to kill, steal or destroy each other just because we feel we are free to do so. No you are not free to kill, you are not free to take what does not belong to you nor are you free to destroy what another has earned. Maybe one day we will realize that civilizations more than 3000 years before us already crossed these same paths and a written order was made called “The Word”. Perhaps you have at least heard about it, some call it a Bible. Any way it gives us written of what should be tolerated and what should not.  Pick it up you will be surprised what you learn about freedom.

By Hannah L. Jeffers  Do you ever wake up and wonder what in the world is really going on? This is a complex question asked by so many during these difficult times. The holidays seemingly bring a more microscopic look at the world in which we live. It seems the days past so fast and before you know it another Christmas is knocking at your door. But this year for so many of us it feels unwanted and unwelcoming. Perhaps it is because our children are all grown and gone. Or maybe it is because we have loss our spouse and our parents have long since passed on. Or it could be reduced to the amount of gray now showing in our hairline. We sit and remember when our grays earned respect and those around us appreciated the wisdom and advice our longevity provided. It seems those days are forever gone. In this day it seems our gray hair signifies nothing, and in fact our youth make an extra effort to remind us that we know nothing about this day and time. Unfortunately, they could be right....
