This collection is divided into two parts...
Part I: Poems

The profound bond between mother and child.
Navigating loss and honoring departed loved ones.
The courage required in times of transition.

Embracing life's imperfections.
...and many more!
Part II: Mini-Stories
Nine short narrative pieces that explore:
The wisdom that comes with accepting change.
Facing mortality with grace.
Finding the courage to begin again.
Discovering joy in unexpected places.
The transformative power of honest self-reflection.
...and many more!
Origin of the Work
Many of these pieces first found readers through my Facebook page "Del Amor y sus Huellas" (Love and Its Traces), which I created during a difficult period when writing became my sanctuary. What began as personal healing transformed into something larger—a community of readers who found their own experiences reflected in my words.
As I write in "Este Libro es el resultado de noches sin sueños y días de llanto, de noticias tristes, de amores eternos, de risas calladas, de tiempo sin dueño..." (This book is the result of sleepless nights and days of crying, of sad news, eternal loves, quiet laughter, time without an owner...)
Experience the Poetry Through My Voice
I believe poetry comes alive when read aloud. Watch me reading selected poems from the collection. Hearing the rhythm and emotion in the spoken word often reveals new dimensions to the written text.
How to Read This Book
There is no single way to journey through these pages. Some readers might find comfort reading from beginning to end, while others may prefer to open to a random page and find what speaks to them in that moment.
My hope is that wherever you find yourself in life—celebrating joy, processing grief, seeking direction, or simply appreciating quiet reflection—these words offer companionship and perhaps a new perspective on your own experience.
Remember what I promise in the prologue: You won't find me in these pages; you'll find yourself. And when you do, you'll realize none of us walk alone.
