“We live where you vacation” transports me to a state of bliss where we encounter both tangible and intangible beauties that lift our body, soul, heart, and mind toward our Creator. I look forward to holding your collection in my hands. I am thrilled for you (and honored to be an endorser)!

I am so excited for this Rosa!! I love your description of catching a glimpse of heaven through the relief of lying under your parents' samán trees. As someone who grew up moving all over, I have always felt home and longing to be big, painful, beautiful questions, and I can't wait to see how you explore them through your particular experience (and heart language). I have several Spanish-speaking friends who I'm already excited to share this collection with too. :)

And yes, there is something to be said about writing in one's heart language. It's so powerful.

Oh Aberdeen, thank you! I pray these poems are a balm for your soul and that the my own longing for belonging translates into your experiences while also showing you a bit of my "home"<3
