I am relentless. Una Adelita - cloaked in a pedigree, rich in hierarchy, valor not lost in whispering winds of history. This is my birthright. A token of gratitude for all those faded in remnant residue. My ancestors - Mestizos y Tarascan native tongue displaced throughout stretched time. I am reincarnated warrior - Frida of my life to create beauty in healing presences. My soul ignited for knowledge and twisting words I am Sor Juana Ines de la Cruz. The convictions that are

So, the last time I have posted a blog I was an hour away from my book release. Since that day so much has happened. My life has shifted in so many ways. A lot of ups and many lows. But the one thing I keep holding onto is a phrase someone special told me the day of my book release, "Calm down, your dream is coming true, keep breathing with purpose." Breathing with purpose, now that is a statement to live by. I have been telling myself those words countless times throughout t

This entry today, is about how this whole poetry thing started. In order to understand what was going on you need to realize, although I am very open when it comes to writing somethings in poetry - I am actually very private IRL. Usually with everyone I am joking and trying to make sure everyone else is okay. I keep things bottled in and would hold all my pain, sadness, and remorse. My older sister Araceli was once upon a time, my walking diary. Growing up she and I shared a

This month has filled with a whole lot of wedding events and talk about weddings. This got me thinking about the possibility of my future partner. So this one is for whoever you are. Dear You, I am sorry it seems to be taking us this long to get our shit together. Please forgive me for the delay, I have been trying to find myself in this chaos of life. I'm not sure what your excuse is but hey - not much we can do about it now. Things you need to know about me, I am strong wil

It's March, and this blog is going to be dedicated to my father. A man that holds a strong hold on my heart. So in order for you to understand this whole dedication you guys need a little back story and history on this man. He was born in Michoacan, Mexico and didn't come to the USA till he was 7 years old. He is the oldest of 7 children. There are a total of (5) boys and (2) girls. My grandpa, was always working and out of the house so at a very young age, my father was in c

If you are reading this, please read the following (poem/prayer) that I wrote for L. Lord all mighty I bring you my burdens. Let me find rest in you, entrusting you with eternal blessings. You alone, own time itself, I stop at this moment, looking to you for: strength patience peace love and courage Carry my worries away. Transform me, change my heart. Help me rise again stronger. Today and everyday after. Help lighten the burden of my heart. The journey you have placed upon

To whom it may concern: Hello & good afternoon, So so far as of today, I have not been productive in my writing or workouts in this new year. I have been extremely sick and am on the mend! It has been a hard time sitting still, trying to rest. Got some cabin fever - now that I am feeling better I am starting to come to grasp with my wit and trying to sort out all my thoughts. I am grateful for this past year, I worked more than I thought I could in my writing and learned much

Hello and good evening, Hope you all are having such a wonderful Saturday! Today has been marvelous for me to say the least. These last few months of looking and editing my manuscript have been hard to say the least, I have grown extremely analytical and critical for my own writing. I have ended up growing sick of all my poems and wished to write only new poems. This morning I had gotten up and went to a workshop in the Art District in beautiful Downtown Los Angeles. This was

Good evening, Sorry that I keep falling behind on writing my daily blog about my progress on these last days of the year! Yesterday was very chaotic after work. I went straight to the gym and shot after to an open mic which I was able to stand in front of many wonderfully talented poets and shared one of my pieces that will be in my book that will be releasing in 2018. Overall I felt very proud of myself that I was able to make such strides in both my goals and am very determ

So I didn't get to blog about my experience with this 21 day challenge yesterday because I actually didn't have access to a computer after work. And I couldn't blog during work since it was actually very busy. But today I can blog since there is some downtime and I am just going to make this very brief. So yesterday was a challenge indeed, I tired to be very proactive yesterday after work, I got home changed and went to an open mic for a new second hand bookstore, but the tra

Good afternoon, Today is about taking a new actionable step towards finishing my goals for the end of the year. So far my own internal self is not feeling too great. Just some personal things going on that have my mind and body not really wanting to do anything. Either way I am taking this challenge so I am held accounted for my goals. Tonight I plan on editing more. I am going to try and put my daughter down a little earlier so I can also squeeze in just some at homework out

So far today has been a long day. I went to bed late last night and woke up even later making myself and my daughter late for school. Today I am to write about the actions I am to take for this challenge. Everything is cleaned up, the elf on a shelf is set up for the morning. So here I am about to give myself only (20) minutes to edit a poem. For my physical goal I am going to sleep. I cannot burn myself like I have. I am really trying to hold myself accountable and want to d

Good evening or morning, It is just passed midnight and I am finally getting to write this blog about finishing strong this year. This is a 21 day writing challenge, so far it is a rocky start. And the last challenge I didn't even finish. So this writing challenge calls for me to write about (2) goals I would like to finish strong in 2017. So here you go, 1) I would love to finish my manuscript, for my first book 2) I would love to challenge myself physically to see if I can

Good morning everyone that happens to cross my super lame blog. As you may know I am currently working on my manuscript for my book that is tentative to release this coming year, 2018. I usually write and edit my work after everything is finished. Meaning after my daughter goes to bed, after I make her lunch and the dishes and kitchen is all cleaned, after a long day of work. So usually it's close to midnight when I even start to pay attention to my writing. So last night I w

You know when you're in love, it is the best feeling in the world. The things that remind you of that person throughout the day brings a smile to your face and you light up brighter than the sun. Well, when you are going through a break-up all those little things and moments still remind you of this person but give you grief and heartache. Songs, phrases, little things in everyday become a way of torture. Today is hard day for me to process, I have this terrible anger inside

This week I have had an interesting week, I have been told by 3 different people two things. 1) That I stand alone and don't need anyone. 2) I scare people just by being myself. I've heard this before in life, of course from loved ones. The difference from these people that made it interesting is that they just met me and we were only speaking for less than 5 minutes when each one came with this conclusion. Honestly, I don't know how to take this, yes, it's a compliment but s

Good morning awesome people that choose to read my blog! I woke up sore for last nights trick-or-treating. But besides being sore I woke up with a sense of peace and happiness. Happiness not attached to a person or objects, but just because I was purely happy. I have a lot of personal goals set for this month and I hope everything pays off! Thank you for all the support! #love #thankful #poetryprompt #poetrycommunity #poems #poem #creativewriting #poetry #reading #blog #happi

i didn't fall gracefully like most women do it happened like everything else i do, a disastrous crash you ruined my life by showing compassion with ears through misunderstandings and abuse you ruined my life by having faith my transformation is organic - my own path of self discovery you ruined my life by giving yourself unconditionally never asking for anything yet i give myself generously you ruined my life by giving hope thank you for that #love #thankful #poetryprompt #po

I know that I have not been the best blogger/poet on my website. To be completely honest, writing on this website is scary. A blog feels like a diary entry that anyone can read because I want to be open and honest. And for poetry, I am being selfish and keeping all the good stuff for my book that will be coming out this coming year. I would love to have more feedback on what people want on this blog, I love hearing from you guys and you uplift me. So lately I have just been t

This entry is meant to be about the things we hate but need to have in life. This is to all the heartbreak we have to endure. cauterize these chambers lock me outside - in claustrophobia has more comfort than the bitterness of swallowing splinters #thankful #poetryprompt #poetrycommunity #poems #poem #creativewriting #poetry #reading #blog #happiness #faith #poet #love
