Writer’s Note

El Viaje is a love letter and an ongoing conversation with my grandma

I’ve been writing to my grandma since 2020, prior to her passing. I can’t wait for these writings to become the book she and I imagined!

“In every letter I mention mi abuela. She is truly my heart’s song, the woman who nurtured and supported my dreams. I’ve come to realize that our relationship knows no bounds.”

I started writing in Spanish again as a way to learn new words and practice pronunciation.

This practice has led me to write a poem that so beautifully describes parts of who I am, where I’m headed and the abundance that’s available to me!
