Write a letter to the world sharing one way your life is blossoming. 2 months, 1 weeks ago
My spiritual life is beautifully blossomed
I’ve always been interested in all things God-related. I’m passionate about learning more about how to grow spiritually. I’m convinced I want to lead a more intimate life and relationship with God.
Now that I have three children, I see things from another perspective; sometimes the problems at home are overwhelming, and that’s when I see my spiritual life blossoming in all its splendor, because in these moments I turn to God.
I’ve learned many things related to fasting and prayer, and I’ve even put them into practice. I feel that with each passing day, God reveals new knowledge to me that undoubtedly increases my faith.
My spirituality is blossoming wonderfully. I feel more and more intimacy and connection with God as the days pass. My faith is bearing fruits of peace, joy, temperance, and wisdom. I feel like a more secure woman at the side of my Creator, knowing that he loves me above all things and will never abandon me.
My life is blossoming beautifully because my faith is placed in God. When life becomes uncertain and difficult, my faith rescues me from the storm. It is then that I realize my life is changing thanks to the power of the almighty.
It is beautiful to be blossoming in the hands of the one who created me, because he knows both, the beautiful petals of my roses and the sharp thorns of my stems. He prepares me for the harvest and waters the soil in which I am planted with a shower of blessings.
In this process of spiritual blossoming, God is responsible for my life turning out in his way. He makes the beautiful, and sometimes even the withered, within me blossom. I am sure that this spiritual blossoming will be ever deeper and more lasting. My flowers will be the most radiant in my garden, which is my home.
I feel my spiritual life blossoming amazingly. God is the fertilizer of my life, the one who, with his power and my tears, makes the withered flowers in my desert to bloom. He provides the means for me to flourish in every aspect of my life. I only have to place my faith in the most wonderful being that can exist in this life.
My spiritual life is blooming. I can perceive it in every answered prayer, in every moment of intimacy I spend with God, and I can feel his love. He always has ears ready to listen to me. He always comforts me in unimaginable ways. I have felt that my spiritual life is in full bloom because God has placed people in my path who guide me more and more into his presence.
Now I can be sure that I am blossoming spiritually because I can be aware of God’s infinite power. I am waiting for God’s confirmation and affirmation of my calling on this earth so that this spiritual blossoming may be multiplied, spread and transforms in what God has already destined and prepared for my life to come.

Write a poem or letter about one way you feel misunderstood 3 months ago
I feel undervalued
I still remember my younger days, surrounded by friends and good conversations. Everything was magical and beautiful during those moments in my life. My words were heard and my friends paid attention to me. Oh God, I truly felt fulfilled and happy.
I wish I could go back to that time and truly enjoy what it meant, and it’s only now that I realize the importance of being heard, valued, understood, and feeling like an important part of those around you.
My life changed drastically since I got married. Unfortunately, what I’m feeling now is just an enormous accumulation of everything I’ve experienced over these years of marriage. The emotional abandonment has consumed me to the point of degrading my self-esteem and self-worth.
I was usually a cheerful, outgoing, talkative, social person who liked to give and receive attention. I liked being listened to and smiling at my jokes. I felt appreciated for my gifts, skills, knowledge, and personality.
Now I feel trapped in an empty and stressful place, in a home where my words aren’t heard, where my intellect isn’t appreciated, and where my ideas aren’t taken into account; on the contrary, they’re synonymous with madness.
I feel like I can’t be authentic because I’m immediately criticized and devalued. I feel stuck in a muddy pool where no one is interested in rescuing me.
My inner self cries out for happiness and understanding, but my eyes see the exact opposite. Sometimes I feel like my mouth is mute and my hands are tied to the needs of others and not my own.
I demand that in my home I be given the place I deserve, that I be given my space and made to feel that I am a fundamental part of the family’s well-being.
If only my husband and children truly valued each and every one of my efforts, I wouldn’t be writing this letter of help and emotional attention. I’m tired of having to remind them that it’s important to me that they express and show their gratitude for all my daily sacrifices so that they have a clean home, clean clothes, nutritious homemade food, and all the other tasks I perform at home.
It’s easy to ask mom and wife for anything, but often we as women of the home also need that affection, that tender look, that caress, those words of encouragement, that recognition for our work, both in public and in private.
I’m sure that if my husband learned to value me, if he realized how beautiful I am inside and out, he would fall in love with me again. If he only appreciated that I am a unique, special, generous, and hardworking woman, he would die of love for me and every day he would let me know his love and admiration as a wife and mother.
The only thing left for me to do is pray for a change, for a reawakening in my family, for moments of joy and appreciation, for my family to be aware of the important work I do at home for the well-being of everyone.
I hope that one day this letter will remain just a simple memory, a learning process, a painful feeling overcome, and that in the future I can thank God for my answered prayers that came from the depths of my being.

Yesenia, being a wife and mother is often a thankless job that we are expected to perform on point each day, even as we help our families sort through their own individual concerns. Though a woman is the heart of the home, she still needs care and attention herself. I hope that your family takes the time to slow down and appreciate all you do for…read more

Write a letter to your fear (Sponsored by ProWritingAid) 5 months, 2 weeks ago
My fear won’t stop my dream of driving.
The fear is the worst feeling on the world, it paralyzes you from reality and it’s an obstacle to achieving your dreams and desires, I hate you fear from keeping me away to become a driver.
I don’t know if that happen to you, but for me driving it’s been in my wishlist for so long time, and the fear is the responsible to procrastinate this until the end, I’m really tired of having the desire of learn to drive and have my own car, but the fear is pushing me out of achieve it.
My fear of not be capable of do that is killing my self-esteem, it’s creating anxiety of thinking that I will be never able to learn how to drive, the fear is a fear that finish with all my hopes.
I really want to learn how to drive, I don’t want to be dependable of others on going to the places that I want and need to go, I’m tired of been a pray of the fear, I just want to be fear free and learn how to drive like the others.
I deserve to have a nice car, I deserve to exterminate the fear of driving and gifting me a good ride to myself, I have planned to overcome it with bravery and courage, I need to trust in my abilities and inner force, I plan to learn how to drive soon, the time is flying and I need to hurry up, I need to conquer my driving dreams and take it easy on me.
I need to conquer my fear of learn how to drive with determination and constant practice until I dominate the ability of drive, I need to pay a good driving class and be positive and calm through all the learning process, I need to keep telling me that I can do wherever I want, is just a matter of patience, time and a positive mind.
The fear of how to drive won’t win because I’m greatest of my dreams, I have a strong spirit of persistence and resilience, the fear won’t win this long war between the two of us, I’m focused and motivated on driving this year 2025.

Write a poem or letter about your best memory of 2024 6 months, 2 weeks ago
My best memory of 2024
Life sometimes is uncertain, we can’t control the circumstances that comes along into our journey as a mother, as a human beign raising a kid.
One of the best memories of this current year 2024 it is related to one of my 3 kids, my oldest daughter, she is an incredible, dedicated, stubborn, sometimes a little obstinate kid, she is the proof of perseverance and successful.
She is 10 years old now, but at the time when every just started was on 2018 when she was 4 years old, by that time she was at preschool and she was sent to get evaluated to a professional IEP team and she was immediately eligible to get into the IEP at her school, I really struggle to get her the right IEP teacher at that school, so I decided to changed it to a different school where resources were more accessible, she got into the IEP, we found amazing teacher, we have great memories of them, she got the help she needed, most of this successful of being out of the IEP now, it is because of those teachers that initially helped my daughter to acquire the confidence that she got now in order to be out of the IEP.
My daughter had to changed again of school, but luckily we found another great teacher who treat my daughter with love, patience and she trust in my daughter in being out of the IEP one day.
And the years passed, my daughter continued into the IEP, but God had another plans for her, u remember one year ago, I met the different teachers, social worker, psychologist and everybody involved in my daughter IEP yearly meeting evaluation and God put me into my mind to express in that meeting that I wanted my daughter so badly to be out of the IEP sooner than expected, and I took a leap of faith and I suggested the school team that I wanted my daughter to spend more time in her regular classroom than in the segregated IEP classroom, everybody agreed on push my daughter a little further to obtain greater results, Thank God, my daughter never gave up and she was adapting so well into her new classroom transition.
All this previous story is because it has a happy ending, a new start for my daughter to demonstrate that with conviction, effort, and enthusiasm everything it’s possible.
In this 2024 something happened that I will never forget, I just had the yearly meeting evaluation to see if my daughter still need the help of the IEP, and guest what? My daughter was declared completely out of the IEP, she doesn’t was found eligible for the IEP anymore, those days are gone, they were in the past now, but thanks to those days we as a mother and daughter learned the importance of concentrate in the good thing that we want to happen, but nothings comes free, it is a matter of perseverance, consistency, praying, faith, trust in ours, and always giving the best of us.

Thank you for that humanism that characterizes you. You have a heart of gold, always willing to help without receiving anything in return. Thank you for that divine spark that you reflect in the lives of those around you.
