You are worth the work.
You are worth the rest.
and we play the rest of the day.
Your Thought, My Words
I looked at the mess I caused and apologized.
Baby, you deserved none of what I put on you these past years we have been together. We have really lived it and I can only hope we can go further but I realize if I don’t treat you better…. So I am man enough to say I am wrong and that I will do better by you.
The late nights, smoking, drinking, women…….none of that is worth throwing away what we have. I am not going to love you where you are at but I am going to love you where you are
because where you are at, it just might change physically but where you are includes your emotional and mentality. I’m going to get back to those mani/pedis, those spa days, to just giving you the pampering you deserve.
Baby, we going up from here and when they see us, really see the work we put in, I hope they don’t break their necks. I love you cause you are mine.
I’m not just going to say it
from now on
I going to show it.
Ode to my body,
I love me head to toe.

The H13RO space is a space to share my art, poetry , and thoughts. The following is made up of excerpts from my book “ Your Thoughts, My Words “.
Skill and fate are connected.
Hello, my name is James Hodge and I am here to help. I would say how I write is simple until someone ask me to help them show their emotions to someone else. I can be liken to Cyrano from the bushes using words she wants to hear. She would never listen to them from me but from you….. an oyster gives the pearl. I take it to task that at least my words have been expressed and their power proved. The author doesn’t matter. It’s their effect upon the hearer and reader.
I am a lover of women and why not? A great one gave birth to me. I follow in the paths of Shakespeare, Casanova, Iceberg Slim and Jesus.
So this book is to be a reference and/or a resource. For the man, my brother we live in a world that is so loud. Why not tame her with a whisper? I jest. Let me promote communication which means not just talking but listening; we all learn so much in silence. Let us be gentlemen lifting our women upon the pedestal they deserve to be place upon, knowing that in treating them as such, we entertain a refined image..”
Excerpt From
Your Thoughts, My Words
James Hodge Author
In 2016, I went into a semi reclusion to reassess life. I emerged with a diverse inventory of skill sets to navigate life. My 300lb frame carried the result of unresolved stress. My military mindset had carried me though to a point; this is the goal, complete the task. My military career had ended and now what was the goal? After retirement, my first job was at a Soup kitchen in Norwich Ct . I fell in love with community work. Since then, I always want to be in the streets for community; to give back and get back to instilling greatness. What would you do if you could talk to 16 year old you or 21 year old you? The knowledge I possess now can spring board many pass the points that slowed me down. That’s the sacred task;
to create the space and time to share knowledge; to educate and elevate.
In every encounter with another person, you, knowingly or unknowingly, are invited into their space. Whether for a moment or multiple minutes, when we come together we can make each time sacred by honoring what resides in each of us. My artistry extends from my dance, yoga practice and massage therapy. I hope to share with you.
Welcome,
