Anita Smith

Anita Smith is a #1 international bestselling author of inspirational poems, essays, and short stories. A secondary world language teacher by trade in the Midwest, Anita has dabbled in many “Scattered” life-happenings and is a jack of all trades. She has traded in dry erase markers and the old brick and mortar classroom to pursue her bucket list. Once inspiring young minds to reach for more than they thought possible, Anita is now taking all the years of experience and encouragement from the thousands she has taught to bring to life more than she ever thought possible within herself. In Anita Smith’s first book, she takes us on a journey of reflection in “Scattered - Life Happenings and Things That Make You Go Hmm…”. Quickly following Anita added a second book to the Scattered Series. Book No. two is called “Still Scattered: Amplifying Life Mano a Mano”. This was the beginning and launch of her speaking, writing, and consulting business, Amplifying Life Mano a Mano. The goal of these books and her business is to help people to DO MORE AND BE MORE than they ever thought imaginable, together. Her writings purely share her lived experiences of scattered life happenings with others in order to create a community of togetherness, knowing that we all have stories to tell and we can all stretch out our hand. Together we can reflect on our own happenings, and we can grow as we unite with others, mano a mano (hand to hand). Together we are stronger. Together we share our stories, cross boundaries, and thrive: becoming one sharing the light and salt in this world.
