After more than twenty years in theatre as an actor, director, producer, teacher and playwright, I decided to become an author who looooves love and HEA, allowing me to create more freely.

My first book, Sweet & Spicy, in the series Latin Lovers will be coming out February 2023 just in time for Valentine's day <3

I am also passionate about autism awareness, since my son is on the spectrum. I wrote a middle grade series called Risho & Kaia.

Book 1, The Seed of Imagination, was chosen by PepsiCo EnAble X Adelante as their Book Club Pick. It help readers of all ages better understand the mind of a child with autism as we live the world through his eyes allowing the reader to comprehend that everyone's uniqueness is our own superpower!

When I'm not writing, I enjoy skiing, dancing and spending time with my amazing husband, and my two beautiful children.

Dear divine muse, this is the perfect time to become the dream version of ourselves, improve and change what has not been working for us. A new start filled with dreams and I have tip number one to make that happen, the only thing you need to know in order to make a long term change in any area of your life: RAISE YOUR STANDARDS

I am a Tony Robbins fan, because of his practical approach to getting things done, and the first thing he mentions in most of his books, videos, webinar, etc is this one simple phrase. RAISE YOUR STANDARDS

“We don’t get what we want, we get what we have to have.” That simple change in words allows us to change our attitude towards ourselves. “We all get what we tolerate in ourselves and in other people.” So true isn’t it? So the difference in people all around us, is their standards towards themselves and others.

Clark Kegley, a youtuber I follow explains it in a different way, giving me the perfect visual to understand it fully.

Imagine you set your home thermostat to a certain temperature, let's say 72 degrees, that temperature within the room will stay set there no matter what. If the room gets colder because of the weather outside, it will immediately raise it to 72 degrees, but, it is also true, if the room begins to get hotter it will lower it to 72 degrees.

Same thing happens within us, we adjust our own thermostat to whatever “temperature” we decide to. We have our own thermostat and we will not accept anything higher or lower to what we have adjusted it to. So, RAISE YOUR STANDARDS and adjust the thermostat to the highest most loved version of you, the woman you want to be, and let your “shoulds become your musts” .

Hey my friend, I have to admit I am having a love-hate relationship with my current WIP… A Lover's Wish, book 2 in the Latin Lover's series.

I have so many ideas in my head and I can see them fully, the love scenes, why they are fighting and how they are fighting. My characters pop out clearly in my mind, who they are and why they are acting this way. The problem; when I sit down to write everything is so jumbled up. The characters are complex and I have simultaneous scenes going on that I am lost on how to approach the second part of the story.

I have to admit I am a pantser. Even though I do know (usually…) what I want to see happen in the story, and where it is going, I do not have a clear written outline. I now think I should! Big piece of paper stuck on the wall of my living room filled with sticky notes! I’m sure my family will love that 🙂

Mariana, my main character, I love her. She represents so many women. She is smart, beautiful and a badass, but simply can’t get over her torn past with Dante, and is not allowing herself to move forward. Will Mateo be able to melt her cold heart? Or will he simply be the means to an end to get back at Dante?

Here is how it begins...

\"My name is Mariana, and this is my story. A story of love and betrayal, of shattered dreams and broken hearts. A story of a good girl gone bad...\"

Alebrijes are spirit guides, strongly connected with nature. The Aztec people created these symbolic creatures mixing two living animals. Their role was to link the spirits and the real world and guide a person through their lives. It is also said that they are guardians to the souls of the deceased.

In the world of the living, they are referred to as spiritual guides for the soul, reminders of your place in the world, and society, holders of the torch; They are meant to lead you in your path and help you become who you are supposed to be. They connect with our deepest true selves and our shared imaginary realm.

In the Zapotec culture the animal that will come is your spirit animal therefore the child’s personality.

Alebrijes are also used to protect and scare away evil spirits, some people might have them in their household for that reason, or simply to admire their artistic beauty and craftsmanship.

Other cultures’ like the Nahual, say there are beings that can transform themselves into animals which allows them to communicate with nature.

Alebrijes were also linked to the divine because gods were linked to a specific animal.

Commonly we now also see them as guardians to the souls of the deceased, so in The Day of the Dead celebration, it is common to see a parade with the use of Alebrijes, we can see them placed in the beautiful and colorful altares raised for the loved ones on this special day, to guide and protect the deceased soul’s in the crossing.

The origin of the Alebrijes as an art form can be traced to Pedro Linares, an artist who lived in Mexico City in the 1930s. Linares said that in 1936 he was very ill and then became unconscious. While in a state of unconsciousness, he began to hallucinate and seeing visions of a forest with strange animals.

When he recovered, Alebrijes were then hand-made which means no two sculptures are alike. They can be a cat with wings, a snake with legs, or perhaps a lion with the head of a giraffe.

His work caught the attention of artists from across the country, including Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera.

They are commonly linked to the day of the dead, especially after the movie Coco.

Colors and animals can represent different things

ANIMALS

Coyote/wolf= tenacious

Armadillo = strength

cat= independence/freedom

dog= loyalty/protection

dragon= passion

frog/hummingbird/dog= follow its advice

jaguar/eagle/serpent= power

owl= healer

possum/chameleon/iguana=learning

butterfly/rabbit/dear= movement

COLORS

green= empathy and nature

brown= earth and animals

pink= love

yellow= joy/legend

orange=releases negative emotions

black=underworld

red=power

In the crafting of the alebrijes, it traditionally incorporates three of the four elements.

Call it myth, stories or legends, real or fantasy but what we do know is that they are unique and profound as the Mexican culture is.

“To hold a piece of Mexican popular art in one’s hand is to hold something larger than a mere object. You are holding Mexico in all its diversity, its rich past, its complex present, and its uncertain future”

Rick Lopez “LA NOCHE MEXICANA AND POPULAR ARTS”

As you can see, the depth to Alebrijes goes beyond, past, present and future, real or imaginary and I wanted to incoorporate them into my next novel \"A Lover's wish\" A day of the dead romance novel.

Who is the divine muse? She inspires you to live better, to be better. She brings beauty and love to the world. She lives her dreams and knows her worth. YOU are a divine muse.

Who were the original muses?

Goddesses to whom poets or any artist prayed to award them the gift of divine inspiration. I talk about original muses in a different blog post, for the the question is:

Do you want to become a muse to your own creative life or inspire someone and become his/her muse?

1-Spend time with creative people, people that like to spark beauty and imagination instead of bringing others down or criticizing the world around them.

2- Be a muse to yourself and others and be open to new ideas. The first idea might not be the one, but it will lead you to the following idea that might be the one of your choosing.

3-Encourage to explore more deeply and engage in deep conversation. Forget for a moment about rules of what can be or not be done and simply enjoy the flow of ideas within you or with your creative partner and muse. Simply be wild and joyful as new ideas suddenly pop into your mind and develop from there.

If you are a divine muse, do not be afraid to embrace your feminine spirit, sensuality and uniqueness, for you have your own energy which no one can duplicate and therefore bring originality to your work or inspiration to others. Your emotions are your guide system to a creative and better life. They let you know clearly what makes you happy and what doesn’t.

Allow your creative energy to flow in all areas of your life.

The Divine Muse Blog will talk about the beauty of feminine Goddess energy, creativity, inspiration and how we can apply it everyday to live a life of beauty, love and our true beautiful self.

Sixteen year old Cora knew she was gifted. She felt it, but had never been able to summon it. Ever since she was a little girl, she knew there was something different about her, but couldn’t quite place or explain it, so she never told anyone about it. No one in her family was gifted, with special powers I mean, they were all gifted in a different way...

Both her parents were martial arts experts, handed down and taught generation after generation. Flawless in the use of sword fighting and lethal with their hands and legs. Battles were part of their everyday life, as keepers of peace, KOP, they were called upon constantly. There were eleven KOPs in all that guarded the city. Although magic and “gifts” used to be part of their world, no one had not come across it for decades, ever since prince Galus killed his own father, the king, and took over the throne. He then contained all of the magic within his throne, kidnapping everyone who possessed a gift, leaving the city defenseless and without it. The only thing that remained for their protection, was their superior fighting skills. Those could never be taken , it had been imprinted in their bloodline as a gift centuries ago.

Now, kneeling in front of her mother’s body, in the dark alley, rain poured down on her, trying to wash away the pain and rage she felt run through her body. It was the first time she felt it. Not the pain, pain she knew, but the tingling sensation that ran deep in her core and out through her fingertips. It was as if it was being fed by the rage she felt for the very first time.

She had always been trained to control her emotions. She was taught that they only got in your way when in battle, they casted a veil that blurred your eyesight and paralyzed you from strategy, and then, only useless impulsive action took over.

As much as Cora wanted the rain to wash her feelings away, it didn’t. On the contrary, it was feeding her, nourishing that seed inside of her, helping it grow stronger. The motionless body of her mother laying there in the dark alley was even worse than what she ever imagined. Her mother’s dark black leather suit was now stained with blood, and it began to pool around her. Slowly, it traveled down the slanted angle of the pavement she was lying on, finally dripping into the drain, probably landing on top of at least one of the thousands of rats that lived down there.

Cora was still not strong enough to be able to move and pull herself away from her mother’s body, until a noise from the metallic trash cans hidden in the corner of the alley startled her, making her jump up and stand on guard as she had been taught so many times before during the years. A large dark shadow that reflected on the brick wall quickly passed, making a slick black cat shriek, jumping onto the top of the fence and ran away distracting Cora momentarily. The shadow appeared again as he swiftly passed next to her like a gust of wind, turning for an instant towards Cora looking straight into her eyes. The moonlight reflected on its eyes making them glow in the night and then, it simply vanished.

She was still standing there, elbows slightly bent fists curled up on guard, simply waiting for what was to come next. At that moment, she realized she was very cold and would not be able to move as quickly as she normally did as the pouring rain made her teeth chatter. A lightning bolt lit the dark sky, outlining the scattered clouds as well as the body on the ground. She looked up, and felt something growing inside of her, choking her. She felt it, eating her up and she wanted to rip it out of her body. Without thinking twice, she looked up again and let out a scream that was deafened out by the sound of thunder. She was slightly relieved, but the feeling of being choked was building inside of her once more. Tears now poured down her cheeks in harmony with the falling rain. She tilted her head back almost arching and with her chest towards the sky, she let out a piercing painful scream only to be answered from the Gods above with the power of a thousand volts hitting her right on the source of where she felt the pain. Right in her heart.

In this day of the dead (dark) romance novel, we will encounter five main characters, one we have met already in Sweet & Spicy, Mariana.

Mariana: She is our main heroine in this story. We know from the previous book she is not in a good place. It is dark for her right now and covers it up with many sexual partners, drinking and parties. But here, in A Lover’s Wish, I will unveil the reason behind the pain she is trying so hard to numb. She is smart and most definitely beautiful. “ A goddess” as Nikki stated in book 1 of Latin Lovers series.

Dante: A definite yummy and delicious bad boy Mariana had a relationship with years ago. He taught her many things she was not ready for and changed her life forever. But, he did not teach her how to stop loving him and how to get over the pain he caused her.

Mateo: He is kind, smart, sexy and sensitive, everything a girl would want, even Mariana... But, soon discovers something that had never happened to her before, he doesn't want her back…

Mateo can easily see she is not a girl you would want to get involved with, but can he follow his head instead of his heart?

Camila: Despite Mariana’s attitude against women, Camila sees the good in everyone and knows how loyal and kind Mariana actually is to the people she trusts and loves. She is a true friend despite the difficulty in joining her circle of trust. But is she close enough for Mariana to help out when she finds herself in a dangerous situation?

Sofia: She is all about greed and jealousy, her lack of self esteem makes her do the impossible to feel better and get an adrenaline rush. She doesn’t like Mariana, especially, she doesn’t like the way Dante looks at her as she immediately noticed how his pupils dilated the minute he saw Mariana after so many years.

So here it is my friend, a very rough introduction to my characters in A Lovers’s Wish, a day of the dead romance novel in the Latin Lover’s contemporary romance series. I hope you are as excited for this novel as I am. I will keep you posted.

Early in the morning at 5 am I like to wake up, meditate and watch a couple of videos where they will set me off to a graat day! I will then journal and I am ready for my day. This process usually takes from 5am to 6:50am when my children wake up and we get ready for their school day ahead. I often encounter wonderful videos and this is one of them.

Here are Priyanka Chopra Jonas's 12 rules to becoming a better you:

1- There’s only one you. Understand who really that person is, and find your unique self. That is the best version of you.

2- Let your dreams fly! Give them wings, you have all you need within yourself to be who you want to be just by being fearless.

3-Be ambitious, take and explore new opportunities. There is nothing wrong with being ambitious!

4-Be greedy and hungry for your ambition. Don’t be scared to want more for yourself than you ever thought you could.

5- Do not settle and compromise on your dreams, No one can tell you who you should be and fight for your dreams

6- Fail, fail, fail again and then rise like a phoenix. Because, You will fail and there is nothing to do about that. It’s what you do after that, that will define where you go. Get up, cry a little, then dust yourself off and dive straight back into life because the only way to push failure aside is to move ahead, not ignore it, analyze it and learn from it. Alway remember you will never truly enjoy success until you have tasted failure.

7- Take calculated educated risks to evolve . Because if you haven't truly explored the full extent of your possibilities you will always remain stagnant. Be bold and take risks and back them up with your 100% of effort.

8-Surround yourself with the right people and choose them wisely.

9- You cannot please everyone all the time. No matter what you do, someone will always be unhappy. It is easy to be confused between the voices that actually matter and the opinions of faceless people. Those don't matter.

10- Don’t take yourself too seriously, have FUN and enjoy this beautiful journey!

11-Give back. Don't be quick to judge, be kind, be compassionate, be human and give back wherever you can.

12- Always remember where you came from and be proud of it because it's part of what makes you who you are. Don't forget your roots and where you came from.

“Life’s journey is not to arrive at your graveside safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, completely worn out and say-holy shit! That was a ride!”

Hi lovely reader, I want to share this review that I tought was beautiful.

Book 2 Adventure to Dragon's Isle was so special to me, as I was not as focused to establishing autism awareness asI was in book 1 but here I dug deeper into my characters and established a magical land of fae. Also, I wanted to touch a lot more on Kaia's character, her feelings and emotions and how she begins to find herself.

I leave you with the full five star review.

\"Fantasy adventures, spell casting, mystery, and mystical worlds are the stuff of any kid’s dreams–the fantasy elements may vary, but the magic and enchantment are present in all of the best kids’ fantasy books. Reading these children’s fantasy books is sure to enchant your child and transport them to worlds they can only dream of. Thankfully, there are plenty of fantasy books for kids out there. But that can also be overwhelming. My time as the young adult and middle grade shelver at work and as a middle school reading tutor showed me how hard it is for parents to find age-appropriate material for their kids but you don’t need to worry about it. I have figured it out for you. The book I am about to tell you all about is a fantasy read which is not just a kids read but I would give it a YA read too. When a reader like me can get engaged reading such a story the kids are going to love it for sure. The book I am talking about is called “Adventure to Dragon's Isle (Risho & Kaia)”.
I usually start with the title and the cover of the book majorly because it's the most exposed part of the book to the viewer’s eye. May be not to all but the readers do notice the appearance of the book which sets the vibe before reading. When it comes to “Adventure to Dragon's Isle (Risho & Kaia)” it has a very interesting cover. I feel the children and young adults are most attracted to the title and the characters. This one has both interesting characters and the title.
Talking about the content of the book, the book has been written in about 195 pages. The detailed storyline offers a great reading experience to the readers. The element readers are going to love are the characterization because the perspective of the story is just amazing. You know there is always a view point of the story, when that point of view is well understood by the readers the story makes sense and readers get more attracted to the story. The feelings hit harder. The scenes of the story are so well constructed that you feel like everything is being played inside you head. You are definitely transported to a worl created by the author and I am sure the target audience is going to fall for the book and its characters. I loved the buildups in the story and they gave an amazing experience. The feelings associated with the story were very well translated through words. Telling you a bit about storyline, Risho is sick of standing out. The poor young man nevertheless feels trapped by cruel bullies and the problems of everyday life, despite having fae blood and carrying a potent stone of protection. However, he courageously swears to rescue his little sister after she is taken away by a wicked wizard. Kaia has a deep love for her older brother. But she feels invisible because everyone is so preoccupied with his issues. The dissatisfied child, however, finds more fun than she ever imagined when she is kidnapped through a portal and taken to a foreign land, where she encounters elderly witches, cunning cats, and sharp-toothed birds. . I am sure you guys are going to love this one because it has all of what a reader craves. Also I would like to thank the author for giving me such an experience through the book.\"

I LOVE passion! It is one of my favorite emotions that gets that fire inside of me burning!

As we have learned from our heroines in books, and in my previous blog, How to incorporate Romantic living into our life, we first have to become who we truly are before being able to attract or give to our partner.

I want to dive deeper into the third point we touched in that post which was: Seek for passion and love in what you do

Imagine what it would feel like waking up each morning eager to get up and go to work, because that is exactly what you are passionate about.

So what is passion?

It is a strong feeling or emotion. An object of someone’s love, liking or desire. is all about emotions, the motivation of what makes us feel good, it is wild and exciting. It can be a form of self expression, in art or a physical activity. It is all about feeling, not thinking.

Let’s establish, that in this particular blog post, the passion we are talking about is Passion in life, do not be confused with passion in love, at the start of a sexual or romantic relationship and the feeling towards another person (which is totally delicious…) That, my friend, we will talk about later in a different blog post.

Passion in life allows us to create something extraordinary , passion is the fuel that keeps the fire burning.

We all become tired or frustrated at some point, since things or situations will not flow perfectly at times. But passion is what helps you get up again and try it one more time.

Not everyone knows what they are passionate about and sometimes it is not easy to find. A book that I would recommend is The Artist’s Way. Even though it is geared towards unblocking the “blocked” artist, It helps the reader discover in twelve weeks who they truly are. Sometimes we might be afraid and repress our deepest love and desire due to external influences that we, our family, friends or society allow to get in our heads. This book makes you look within and find yourself. (It does have some religious context but in the introduction of the book, it states to feel free to ignore this or to substitute with the word of your choice.)

In this 12 week workbook, morning pages and the artist date is the core and foundation of transformation. My copy is highlighted all over and I strongly suggest it.

$\"\"$

The bracelet I'm wearing is from a webpage called My Intent , what is your word? You can customize and put any word that resonates with you. I bought it with my own money and have been wearing it for years now.

I truly hope this post helps you find your passion and have a Romantic way of Living.

I leave this post with a quote “Passion is energy. Feel the power that comes from focusing on what excites you.” Oprah Winfrey

Hello dear friend,

As you might know I am very passionate about autism awareness since I have am autistic son, and today I bring you a story that filled my heart with joy. I wrote my middle grade series Risho & Kaia based on my children in the hope that adults, teachers and children better understand what autism is. By the reader putting themselves in the main character’s shoes, it is a fun and engaging way of creating empathy for the character and learning more about it. A dear friend that read the book recently reached out to me and told me this story:

Aggie, I wanted to share a store with you because I immediately thought of you when it happened. As you know, I continue to work at the Black Canyon Visitors Center. This morning, because of Labor Day weekend, the store was unusually busy and crowded. In spite of the high noise volume, I could hear high, piercing noises being made by an eight year old child. You could tell visitors were getting irritated with the child and his persistent noise. The mother was allowing the child a lot of freedom in the store and was not in his close proximity. Along with the noise, he would often grab our stuffed animals and toss them into the air. I immediately knew the child was autistic. I overheard one of the older male visitors turn to his friend and say, \"That kid needs his butt beat!\" He didn't realize the youngster's mother was close by. She quickly informed the man, \"My son is autistic\". After the men left, I discreetly approached the woman. told her I was a retired teacher and apologized for the man's insensitivity and for not being aware of autism. Long story short, we had a delightful and long conversation. It made me more aware of how many families can often bear a burden having to explain things to absolute strangers. In the course of our conversation, I mentioned you, your children and your book and how you wrote this as an attempt to make adults and children more aware of how an autistic child views the world. She was very interested in the book. She said she will definitely be ordering your book online. It was a wonderful thing to know that \"my friend Aggie'' has written something so important that other families can feel solidarity and strength in helping the world know more about what their children deal with. HUGS to you and the family!

Of course as I was reading I was wiping way from my cheeks tears that were rolling down. Not only because I could feel the pain from the little boy’s mother but I felt so proud in giving the tools and a sense of awareness to my dear friend in spotting the child and understanding that his “inappropriate” social behaviour had nothing to do with a lack of parenting but because of his condition.

This is a great book to read at home with your child, for homeschool or to read in a classroom. With discussion questions after each chapter it opens up communication on the subject.

Latin Lovers series- Sweet & Spicy

Hey my friend, I can’t wait to share with you the cover reveal and of course the whole book!

Today I am thrilled to give you a glimpse of my two main characters. After spending months and months with the characters, creating them, writing about them and getting to know what goes on in their heads you feel so attached to the characters at the end.

Allow me to share a personal story of a funny thing that happened to me while writing this book. My husband and I were chatting and I was telling him about what was going on at that point in the story and what I wanted to write next. A couple of days later when he asked me how the book was going and how the writing of the scene had gone, I explained a curious thing that happened.... “Oh no that’s not what happened at all! Nikki got really mad at something that DIego said to her and she did not take it well, so she got pissed and did something completely different from what I had planned!” My husband looked at me quizzically not fully understanding or maybe a little worried that I had completely lost my mind! Lol!

I love it when my characters take me into their path, show me where they want to go, what they need to do and so on. So, without further ado, here are NIkki and Diego in Puerto Vallarta. (drum roll….)

$\"\"$ Nikki:

The visible scar on Nikki’s shoulder due to the fire that killed her parents and burned down her house is a constant reminder of the person she also lost in that place. Herself. Fear and sadness led her to cling to the wrong partner, Ryan Phillips (more on him later…). A man who knew exactly what to say to make her feel less of herself but at the same time clung to him even more.

Nikki, bright and talented, burned herself to ashes along with her house and it will not be an easy road for her to rise from them stronger, braver and even more beautiful than before.

An inspiration for all women who have been physically and emotionally scarred

Get NIkki's full character description here!

$\"\"$ Diego:

Diego, charismatic and good-looking, is passionate at what he does. This, combined with talent and discipline payed off winning a famous cooking contest that opened the doors to a better life. Diego has only one thing in mind, and that is to succeed. Nothing and no one will stand in his way.

Setting:

A contemporary romance set in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico! How hot is that?

$\"\"$

Why is it set in Puerto Vallarta, Mx?

Well, I decided to set this Latin Lovers series in Puerto Vallarta where I lived for over 10 years, because I believe it would be the perfect place for a romance series like Latin Lovers. Its beautiful beaches, good food, sexy-curvy women, fearless tanned men and active nightlife were inspirational in the writing of this inter-ethnic romance.

What is Romantic Living?

Romantic living is inspired by Romanticism in literature. It sees beauty in the world, ourselves and others!

I personally believe we are in a period of time where, especially women, have taken this era and made it our own, personalized, and brought into our daily lives.

I am not talking about ways of being romantic, (lowercase “r”) which is an “expression of love and dedication in a way that's intentional, unmistakable, deeply affectionate, and often involves dramatic or passionate gestures, though smaller actions that indicate enduring affection.” Dear friend, don’t take me wrong, I absolutely love being a romantic and I will talk about this in a different blog post…

But what we are focusing on here is, appreciating and looking to incorporate a Romantic way of living into our personal lifestyle.

The Romantic movement in literature consisted of these points amongst others

Awareness and acceptance of emotion.
Celebration of artistic creativity and imagination.
The writers of this era did not shy away from the dark side of emotions and exploration of spiritual and supernatural elements.
Appreciated and seeked solitude.

Romanticism Definition in literature

The term Romanticism does not stem directly from the concept of love, but rather from the French word romaunt (a romantic story told in verse). Romanticism focused on emotions and the inner life of the writer, and often used autobiographical material to inform the work or even provide a template for it, unlike traditional literature at the time.

Romanticism celebrated the primitive and elevated \"regular people\" as being deserving of celebration, which was an innovation at the time. Romanticism also fixated on nature as a primordial force and encouraged the concept of isolation as necessary for spiritual and artistic development.

https://www.thoughtco.com/romanticism-definition-4777449

What exactly is Romantic living and how can we incorporate it into our lives?

Here are some basic points to start off with:

1.- Look for authentic emotions and trust your intuition:

Do not shy away from feelings, and listen to your gut or feminine intuition.

2.- Embrace all ways of artistic expression:

It doesn’t mean you have to be an artist, but expressing ourselves through any art form is liberating, reaching deep inside us when we allow it to flow, finding our true self.

3.- Seek for passion and love in what you do:

Imagine what it would feel like waking up each morning eager to get to work, because that is exactly what you are passionate about.

4.- Seek to discover who you really are:

This does not come easy to some women, believe me it took me years to begin to know who I was and what I was passionate for, but there are resources, books and tools to help you guide the way. Journaling is a great tool for this that I will talk about in a different post.

5.- Learn about spirituality and the supernatural: I began this journey through meditation and oracle cards, and really love it!

6.- Welcome individualism

7.- Show love and respect to nature (mother earth, animals the cosmos etc)

8.- Recognize the importance of imagination and creativity. Like Einstein said “Creativity is more important than knowledge. Knowledge will take you from A-Z. Imagination will take you everywhere.”

9.- Believe in equality and embrace others. (culture, people, color, etc)

10.- Focus on love and finding beauty in the simplest of things.

11.- Have an interest in learning: “The very act of learning something new disrupts the way you’ve always seen things-and the way you’ve always been.” - Robin Sharma

11.- Believe in romance but also appreciate romantic fiction 12.-Practice self-care: This is the first step to loving yourself.

Do you feel you are a Romantic?

Hi dear friend,

Today I would love to share with you some of the things I have learned while reading and writing romance novels.

1.-We all have our own paths with our own personal struggles:

Every novel that you read, the character needs to go through some sort of transformation, a character arc. Even though we may think that the girl next door might have it all compared to ourselves, we realize that even though she may not have the same struggles as we do, she/he still has her own barriers she/he may need to conquer and break free from.

2.- We can get through dark times even though it may seem impossible at first:

Time and time again we see our main character run into challenging situations. We see her fall and get up again. As we all know we will fall many times in our path, but we will brush the dust off, learn from our mistakes and try again until we get it right.

3.-There is someone out there that will love us unconditionally:

Not everyone might be right for us, and we will sometimes learn this the hard way, but I truly believe there is someone out there for everyone! And, no, not everyone is perfect, not even ourselves, even though that may be hard to believe… ;) but the beauty of it is, that we don’t have to be. We can love and be loved by someone with our own or opposite quirky imperfections.

4.-We need to work on ourselves before things begin to fall into place

We need to be in a good place ourselves before we can even start thinking of another person complementing us. Yes this could be a long and deep journey, but it is also a fun one! We accept who we are, we love who we are… Not only physically but also our personality, our thoughts, ideas and feelings. This is a good place to start, building confidence in us as a person. Confidence and attitude go a long long way!

5.-Hot steamy, passionate loving sex awaits….

Sex has been such of a taboo for a long time making us feel “bad” if we somehow enjoyed it. On the contrary, sex is beautiful when done with the correct person. Yes, I do believe you have to be mature physically and emotionally for it ( and aware of certain risks, so please know all these before considering being intimate), but once you are there, it is the utmost expression of love! Freedom of expression regarding this act can have such a wide range that we will not go into now, but maybe in a different blog post…

Not sure if reading a romance novel is right for you? Here are five benefits I find when reading or writing a romance novel.

1- It is usually written by women for women, so the reader can very commonly identify and find a voice, inspiration and empowerment in the character’s journey.

2.- It is a celebration of love and hope. As a romance reader you know that it will end in a HEA or a HFN bringing hope to the reader, knowing love is possible no matter the color of the skin, background or social status etc.

3.- We learn that sex is good, pleasurable and it is okay to enjoy it! It builds deep connections to another person just as it does in real life.

4- We develop empathy and understanding of other people. Everyone has their own past with their unique obstacles that they have to overcome. The path might not be easy, and it is most probably not, but at the end it is possible, emerging triumphant not only in love but as a person.

5.- Romance novels are books! So no matter what genre you choose to read, it is well known that reading has many benefits, such as: It improves brain connectivity, increases vocabulary and comprehension, reduces stress, prevents cognitive decline amongst others.

Picture this:

The school halls fill again with children at the beginning of the school year running, laughing and shouting to their friends “wait up!” as they push and shove their way through with laughter. Sounds echoing intensely straight into his ears. Tucked away on a corner a boy is covering his ears rocking back and forth and humming, trying to suppress the overstimulation.

There are more than half a million school-age children with autism in the U.S., and nearly all of those children are now being educated in public schools, but still very little information is given to anyone on the outside, other teachers, nurses and especially their own peers.

Risho and Kaia is not only a book on autism, but it is written under his own voice, the voice of an autistic boy, helping teachers, parents and children understand what is going on inside his head.

This fantastical interactive fantasy book, The Seed of Imagination, is perfect for back to school, great for the classroom teacher or parent as it engages in discussion questions after each chapter to learn, understand and befriend a child with autism.

Here are some reviews

SET SAIL ON A MAGICAL ADVENTURE.........

Prepare to set sail on a magical adventure with Risho, a young boy with autism, and his sister, Kaia as they journey to find their stolen flower and its SEED OF IMAGINATION. Along the way they take the reader to places where they meet a host of colorful characters including a juggler, a clown, a dragon, a forest sprite named Melia and mystical drummers who guard a secret cave. With this beautiful book for young people, Aggie Unda pays homage to her own two children in this delightful yarn which allows readers to learn more about autism as they share the siblings’ adventure.

As a former classroom teacher, I appreciate the questions and discussion points at the end of each chapter which encourage reflection on what children with autism might be experiencing. It is a valuable tool for understanding and should be part of every school library

As a special education teacher, I am always trying to get inside the minds of my students. This wonderful story does just that! It invites me into Risho's mind and allows me to experience his creativity and imagination as he plays with his sister. How wonderful that the author and mother is so in tune with her son and wrote such a lovely story! I have worked with students with Autism for ten years now and only wish I could have such insight into all of their minds. Thank you, Aggie, for writing this book! (I also love that after each chapter there are \"talking points\" to help create conversation around Autism to promote acceptance and inclusivity!)

Dear friend,

This week I trudge fiercely into the fun but also scary place of brainstorming for my next romance novel!

My brain is a mess as is my notebook! Full of bits and pieces, scenes here and there, and characters that visit me in the middle of the night with something witty they have said to the protagonist and I need to get up and write it down (which would be the smart thing to do…) Or, I think I am a genius and will remember it all by morning (which never happens…)

Since I was writing Mariana’s character in book 1 I knew I wanted her to be the protagonist in book 2. A good girl gone bad! It checked so many of my favourite things and I couldn’t wait to lead her on her adventurous path in order to find herself in her own book…

As I brainstorm for book 2 in the Latin Lovers series, at this point I definitely do know what I want, but also question so many other things and IF I want them for her journey.

By now, I basically have all of act one! Okay, I have it all in my head…. I even know what I would like the cover to look like! I am, though, stuck on which tropes to include…..

Enemies to lovers is one of my favorites, and I was thinking of maybe including a love triangle in there. Knowing Mariana’s personality, I could easily see her going through this, so I might throw in that trope. I can’t wait for you to meet her in book 1!

This week is all about brainstorming and outlining. I am using a b6 Stalogy and a mauve croc Moterm notebook cover, which btw I love!!!

I would most definitely like to hear your thoughts, opinions and most loved tropes!

Who is Nikki Evans?

I wanted to write about Nikki before I had any idea what the book would be about. I knew who she was perfectly well, her fears and the dialogue going on inside her head.

As a woman I understood how the “simple and superficial” things can mess up with your self-esteem.

Nikki, bright and talented, burned herself to ashes along with her house and it will not be an easy road for her to rise from them stronger, braver and even more beautiful than before.

An inspiration for all women who have been physically and emotionally scarred.

Journey as a romance author-

Contemporary Romance novel, Latin Lovers series book one is on its final editing round, and

I’m so excited this romance novel is entering this final stage after such a long journey…

A contemporary romance set in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico! How hot is that?

Nikki Evans, a North American scarred journalist falls for Diego San Roman, a famous Mexican chef! This inter-ethnic relationship has all you want in a romance novel. (more on the characters and story plot on a different blog post …)

Why is it set in Puerto Vallarta, Mx?

Well, I decided to set this Latin Lovers series in Puerto Vallarta where I lived for over 10 years, because I believe it would be the perfect set for the new Latin Lovers romance novel series. Its beautiful beaches, sexy-curvy women, and fearless tanned men were inspirational in the writing of this inter-ethnic romance.

WRITING PROCESS:

My process through this first novel was not an easy one, as I began writing it in April of last year and abruptly stopped 25,000 words in during the summer. Fear took over me, and sabotaged my confidence. No one in particular said anything to me, heck, no one had even read it! It was all in my head…

I had written two fantasy middle grade books before, but suddenly felt unprepared, unqualified and an imposter. I felt I was playing in the big girls team without ever going to a single training.

What did I do? Stepped back and decided to take the whole year off. I would read books about the craft (outline, structure, plot, characters etc etc) and read as many romance novels as I could. I would train and prepare myself. I had no idea when I wanted to return to the project though….Until one day in March of this year, as I was organizing paperwork at home, I ran across a copy of the manuscript of what I had so far.

I read over the first few pages….. Hmmmm interesting I thought. I kind of liked what I had written so far. I had forgotten so much of the details, characters and plot, that as I read more, it was as if I was learning about this story for the first time. I kept reading and after 25,000 words I felt good about myself. I actually thought it was not that bad. Of course it could be improved, but there was something there. A little embryo of a novel waiting to be fully developed.

I gave it a few twists and turns that I had not thought about before. Changed my protagonist name three times, (I will reveal those in a newsletter, re-wrote it all in third person and then changed it back into first! And now here we are, with a smile on my face as I write this blog post.

So, as you can see my friend, fear paralyzes us, it stops us from becoming who we want to be.

I have written my first contemporary romance novel! I know it’s not perfect and I also know I will do better in the next one, but I can’t wait to share it with you!

WHAT IS AUTISM?

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a difference in the way a kid’s brain develops. Kids with autism may have trouble understanding the world around them. Kids with autism might have trouble:

Talking and learning the meaning of words.
Making friends or fitting in.
Dealing with changes (like trying new foods, having a substitute teacher, having their toys moved or a change in routine).
Dealing with loud noises, bright lights or crowds.

Kids might also move in an unusual way (like flapping their hands or rocking), or do the same thing over and over (like saying the same word).

A kid with autism may have a little trouble with these things or a lot. Some kids may need only a little bit of help, and others might need a lot of help with learning and doing everyday stuff.

WHAT CAUSES AUTISM?

Autism is something people are born with. No one knows exactly what causes it. It probably has something to do with a kid’s genes and other things that change the way the brain develops.

HOW IS AUTISM DISORDER TREATED?

There is no cure for autism, but treatment can make a big difference. The younger kids are when they start treatment, the better.

Doctors, therapists and special education teachers can help kids learn to talk, play and learn. Therapists also help kids learn about making friends, taking turns and getting along.

WHAT IF MY FRIEND HAS AUTISM SPECTRUM DISORDER?

All people deserve respect, but kids with ASD may be teased, bullied or left out because they’re different. Bullying and teasing are never the right way to treat other people, but it may be hard to be a friend with someone who has ASD.

Kids with ASD often don’t understand playful jokes. You may need to be very clear when you communicate with someone who has ASD.

Try to be patient and kind. Remember how hard it might be for the person with ASD to understand how to be a friend. Stand up for classmates who are bullied. Tell adults, so they can help protect kids who are bullied.

Creativity, as I see it, is an important skill for any child and adult to have, as it is helpful throughout our lives. It is not only used or saved for “artistic people” but it is used in our daily lives. All children are born creative, we can see this in the way a child easily plays with toys or peers using their imagination without any sort of self-doubt.

But why is creativity so important:

It is a process of self-expression. Creative experiences can help children express and cope with their feelings. ... Creativity also fosters mental growth in children by providing opportunities for trying out new ideas, and new ways of thinking and problem-solving.

Creativity allows us to view and solve problems more openly and with innovation. Creativity opens the mind. It broadens our perspectives and can help us overcome prejudices.Plus, it develops confidence, language, physical and thinking skills, imagination and emotional understanding.

Dramatic play helps preschoolers make sense of the world. Arts and craft activities encourage self-expression and decision-making.

The most important thing creativity leads to is new thinking. If you can use your imagination to see problems differently, to see ideas differently you will come up with solutions that nobody else has thought of. Plus, it is fun!

There are many different ways and areas that we can play around to develop our imagination and creativity:

Art
Music and singing
Dramatic play
Creative writing
Dance

Back to school!

Back to school can be exciting, but can also be mixed with so many different emotions! Maybe a little bit of sadness that summer is over, or anxiousness of what the school year may bring both academically and emotionally. Some kids adapt easily, while others might take longer, especially if moving to a new school.

One of my favourite ways as a teacher and parent to communicate with a child without them feeling pressured or in the spotlight, allowing us to see how the school year is going is through journaling. There are several ways this can be done, either through free writing or with the use of prompts, where we can guide their writing slighlty to where we want them to go towards. There are many wonderful journals out there for kids. Here is one of my favourite one:

https://biglifejournal.com

Children on the autism spectrum might feel overwhelmed by the different ways things are done in this new school year compared to last. New sounds, new people, new friends, teachers, you get my point... It's a big change and sometines change can be hard.

It is not only important for teachers to be able to understand these kiddos, but also, I believe, it is a good idea, that the rest of the students in their grade understand why a child on the spectrum is acting the way she/he is. What is stemming and why do they do it? Why the meltdowns? And how to befriend a student on the spectrum. Because believe it or not, they still want to feel that they belong and are liked just like the rest of us.

I would like to share what it is like for my son Risho.Even though he may not know the name of his teacher or his peers, he will know if someone was nice to him, helped him or even if he was wanted and accpeted in their team during pe. He also wants friends even though that might mean, or be, slighlty different that what it means for the rest of us. Kindness goes a long way!

My friend, please feel free to share with your child's teacher and take a look at book 1 in the Ridho & Kaia series: The Seed of Imagination

Written under the POV of a boy with autism we get to understand and live the story through his eyes. The discussion questions after each chapter make communication easy for the teacher and student.

BONUS do not hesitate to contact me! I would be more than happy to zoom in to the classroom for and Q & A.
