Joalizma (JL Smith) lives and writes in Cape Town, South Africa, where Table Mountain stands as a quiet reminder of both beauty and resilience. Raised in a religious household filled with church hymns and Sunday devotion, Joalizma always carried a deeper longing-to not just believe in God, but to feel the Divine alive within her. That longing became the gentle thread guiding her through doubt, reflection, and the eventual recognition that the Source she sought had never been far away. Her writing is an invitation to remember: awakening is not a far-off goal, but a simple, loving return to the awareness and love already present in every breath. Through The Age of Awakening: Living as Friends of God, she shares a compassionate companion for anyone who has felt the silence of God and longed to hear it as love. When she's not writing, you'll find her walking mountain trails, breathing in the ocean air, or simply being present with the people she loves. She believes spirituality lives in the small moments-the kind word, the patient pause, the choice to love when it's hard. Joalizma writes for the quiet seekers, the faithful who feel distant, and anyone ready to rest in the truth that they are already held. She is a Friend of God-not because she earned it, but because she has always been one.
