    Author

    Kias Emmanuel Creech

    Kias Emmanuel Creech began writing poetry in 1987, at the age of 14. He loved putting his thoughts and feelings down on paper. From that first poem, he wondered what all his heart had to say and it didnt take him long to realize that words really are power. When someone can relate to something he has written; if it can make them feel better, smile, even cry, it is a gift to that person to help them with what means something to them through his writing. Also published by Kias Emmanuel Creech are From the Heart and Literary Coffee Break.

      Taylor Made, Madison Inspired

      August 2, 2011

      On June 11, 2011, I was in an accident on Interstate 75 in Kentucky. Me & my mother were on the right side of northbound 75, were hit in the back by a semi-truck, knocked across into the southbound side & into a ditch.

      As we were spinning out of control, we had no idea what was happening until it was all over. When it WAS finally over we learned that there were no cars coming on the southbound side. But as soon as we made it into the ditch, cars began streaming as if someone had opened the gate & let them all out.

      I love going into bookstores and checking out the self-improvement section. Many times I had picked up books by Doreen Virtue & I always thought, No, this just isn’t me. I would see her angel book titles and it just didn’t seem to fit.

      After the accident I went into a book store and found Earth Angels by Doreen Virtue and after reading the back of the book, I immediately thought I had found a winner. So I picked up about 3 more books by her. All were about angels and after the car accident I most certainly believed in angels!

      On my way to Virginia, I was reading one of several books on the subject of angels, going from book to book studying as hard as I could. I remembered reading about guardian angels and how if I wanted to know their names, I should just ask & pay attention to signs, thoughts & feelings I would get from them regarding what their names were.

      So I sat back and, in my mind, asked one of my angels what its’ name was. I looked up and saw a sign that said Taylor. My immediate thought was, No that can’t be it. That just doesn’t sound angelic. So I thought, Ok could you confirm it? As if something tapped me on the shoulder, my first thought was, What are you listening to?

      I always took my iPod on road trips and on this trip I was listening to a song by Taylor Swift. My thought in response was, Taylor…Swift.

      I still thought this was just to human to be an angel name. The next thing I knew, that tap on my shoulder turned in to a voice in my head that seemed to say, Ever heard the name Michael? Well, I felt a little stupid and thought, Ok, you’re right. Michael is also a human name AND the name of an Archangel so yeah, your name is Taylor.

      Needing just a little confirmation, I asked again to be given one more sign. We then got off on our exit and after passing a gas station I saw a place where they made truck trailers and my chin almost hit my lap as I saw at the very least, 50 trailers with Taylor on the back of each and every one of them. Feeling confident now that I got my answer, I began talking in my mind to one of my guardian angels named Taylor. I also made sure to get a picture or three of those trailers just to prove to myself that this had happened.

      A couple of weeks had passed and I got to thinking that
