HAZELWOOD, MO / ACCESS Newswire / February 3, 2026 / A profound new voice emerges at the intersection of medicine, ministry, and metaphor. Debra "FoFeet" Warren, a registered nurse and Reiki Master Teacher with over three decades of service, today announces the release of her groundbreaking book, FoFeet Fables: UpLifted (From the Fifth). This is not merely a poetry collection. It is a spiritual toolkit, a series of lyrical parables designed to diagnose the soul's quietest yearnings and prescribe a path toward authentic upliftment. Warren channels her dual life of clinical care and energy healing into a unique literary form, offering a resonant antidote to the noise and fragmentation of modern life.
FoFeet Fables presents an innovative structure where each original poem is followed by a prose fable. This powerful tandem invites readers into a two-step journey of feeling and understanding. The poems, rich with emotional honesty and vivid imagery, capture universal human moments-the ache of searching for identity in "When I Was Steve," the resilient joy in "Best of Me, Betsy," or the transformative power of pain in "Payne Rescue." Each accompanying fable then gently unfolds the lesson, serving as a compassionate guide to integrate the spiritual insight into daily living.
The core message of the book is one of accessible transcendence. Warren asserts that divinity and profound insight are not distant concepts, but are woven into the fabric of our everyday experiences. A grandmother's memory, a walk in nature, or a moment of personal struggle each holds a "whispered fable" waiting to be heard. The book champions the idea that spiritual awareness is a personal journey of recognition, urging readers to find the extraordinary wisdom hidden within their own ordinary stories.
This work is an active extension of Warren's foundational belief that healing must manifest in both word and deed. She champions the conviction that liberation is a verb, not a passive state. For her, true freedom demands belief, dedication, tenacity, and an unwavering determination to act, making every poem a potential catalyst for personal and collective awakening.
This collection speaks directly to a diverse audience of seekers. It resonates with spiritual explorers tired of abstract dogma, poetry lovers craving substance and soul, and individuals in helping professions seeking restorative wisdom. It also serves as a valuable resource for book clubs and discussion groups focused on personal growth, as well as anyone feeling disconnected in a digital age and longing for authentic, reflective connection.
Warren's writing style embodies her guiding philosophy: creating with "two feet on Earth and two feet in Spirit." Her verse carries the grounded empathy and observational precision of a nurse, meeting the expansive, intuitive flow of a Reiki master. This synthesis results in language that is both beautifully crafted and deeply practical. Her words feel less written and more channeled, offering clarity that comforts and metaphors that catalyze personal reflection, perfectly bridging the tangible and the ethereal.
FoFeet Fables: UpLifted (From the Fifth) is available for purchase globally. The book can be found on the author's official website at https://fofeet.net, through Amazon, at all major online book retailers, and at select brick-and-mortar stores.
