It’s done! Hardcover on sale, paperback and ebook coming soon! No, I didn’t write it. That was my bff Jenny. I did, however, all the designing, editing, formatting and publishing. I’m so happy I could burst! So glad @littlebrowngirlshow trusted me with her baby. Can’t thank you enough for believing in me, even when I didn’t believe in myself. The first time is the hardest. Now I’m ready for the next one.

Grateful.

This is how I feel today.

Not only for being a reader, and now a writer, for growing up surrounded by books that touched my life, for sharing with my family and friends the joy of discovering new worlds on book pages.

Today, I feel grateful for the love and support received from all of you since launching “In Our Thirties”.

Thank you for surprising me once again with your infinite love, for reading it, for reviewing it, for all your notes and comments, for the flowers, for your pictures with it in your hands, for the interviews, for sharing it around the world.

All books are a labor of love, highlight labor as our editor will say. I gave my all to “In Our Thirties”, but with your readership you have given me so much more.

Thank You.

Forever grateful,

Laura

"Every midwife knows that not until a mother’s womb softens from the pain of labour will a way unfold and the infant find that opening to be born. Oh friend! There is treasure in your heart, it is heavy with child. Listen. All the awakened ones, like trusted midwives are saying, welcome this pain. It opens the dark passage of Grace.” —Rumi As I get ready for today’s FREE INTRO to Writing from the Womb I wanted to share love from some of my students. Turn on notifications. I go live at 1:00PM EST (New York), 10:00AM California. 💜 WFW is a workshop series designed to push writers to connect to the heart of their story. WFW focuses on your writing goals, setting clear intentions and hard deadlines. Using writing prompts and lectures on craft Alicia gently pushes you to dive deeper, dig, and really live inside of your story. The womb is a sacred place. The womb is the place where we conceive and give birth to an idea, a dream, a song or a story. The womb is where the heart of our story resides and where we hold our truth and together we will write from this place. It is her privilege to be your Writing Midwife! For writers at all levels / Cross genres (This workshop is inclusive of all genders and open to the public) Workshops are made possible by Dominican Writers.

“People often compare, making the metaphors about life. But life has its ups and downs. I don’t want to reach a certain age and still be about this gambling. Taking life for granted. Taking life easy. Because I feel like broken pieces. It doesn’t even matter if there is a special someone. In this life you enter alone and leave the same way. But there is this desire that you won’t self expire, to self preserve and for whatever reason we always feel like our life could be better in someone else’s hands. As if they’re not as broken as I am.” - The Broken Bachelor the play Next week I perform for my birthday in my hometown of Elizabeth, NJ. Come out and let’s eat, drink, listen to some live music, dance, enjoy theater, comedy, cigars and so much more....

And.Poetry, why? (Spanish)

Muchos me preguntaron “y tu escribes?” y yo extrañada respondía al principio con “Eeeh si”, luego caí en cuenta que por primera vez me estaba auto considerando “escritora”, “poeta”.

Llegar a esa consciencia de que soy escritora me tomó años, por mas bonito y simple que se visualiza en mi biografía de @and.poetry y la de mi cuenta personal de instagram @n_ylopez.

Por qué?… Yo siempre usaba seudónimos. Escribo desde que recuerdo, tal vez mas seriamente desde los 11 años. Historias largas (una vez llegue a 200 paginas -era mucho para una niña de 13 años de ese “entonces”- de una historia que vio la papelera de reciclaje en un periodo de depresión), también historias cortas, frases aquí y allá, poemas, cartas, diarios…Tuve un sin números de blogs bajo seudónimos que quedaron olvidados junto con sus contraseñas.

Solía pasar largas horas creando perfiles para personajes en un juego de rol (RPG) ambientado en el escenario de Harry Potter. Solía llevar varias vidas (una por cada personaje) ahi, detrás del monitor, bajo mis seudónimos que me cuidaban de la critica del mundo que de todas formas recibía por una u otra razón.

Y hace un mes… Nació @and.poetry, cuya historia y razón es tan larga como la vida de cada uno de mis personajes que hoy viven a medias en mi cerebro y que algún día lograré recuperar.

@and.poetry nació para volver a escribir a diario; primero comencé estableciendo una meta personal de escribir en mi agenda/diario todos los días, luego me animé a crear una cuenta de instagram, que pretendía también solo dejar en el anonimato… Les cuento, como a los tres días dije “Me cansé” le diré a todo el mundo, al que le guste lo verá y al que no, pues respetaré para que me respeten (no siempre funciona pero es algo).

Pero @and.poetry no se quedaba ahí, no se quedaba en una fuente de pegar poesía que pocos entienden o entienden a su manera (con toda razón, el arte esta para algo); esa cuenta, mi bebé, quería hablar, quiere hablar de temas incomodos, de salud mental. Este proyecto tiene un mensaje, que es un millón de mensajes.

Todos estamos conectados y ninguno esta exento de atravesar en algún momento de su vida por una situación difícil que involucre su salud emocional. Saliendo a luz y hablando de esto podemos ayudar a eliminar un poco el estigma que rodea estos temas. Con and.poetry utilizo lo que puedo de mi creatividad para enviar varios mensajes sobre este tema y trato de enviarle las palabras mas positivas que pueda.

Happiness

What is happiness?

The feeling of being with a loved one?

The feeling when you reunite with a friend?

I am afraid not,

Happiness is a tool that’s only found within,

Doing things that make YOU smile,

Make yourself happy it’s worth the while,

After you can fill others with laughter,

What is happiness?

It’s that spark within,

So if you want to win

And achieve happiness

You must be right within.

Es increíble ver como alguien con sus gestos te rechaza pero su mirada dice lo contrario.
