Out of the Wilderness

Posted on March 24, 2022 by Querida

The Easter season always reminds me of frilly dresses and ruffled socks and memorized speeches recited on Easter morning. From Ash Wednesday somberly beckoning me to remember from whence we came, clear through to Resurrection Sunday’s triumphant declaration of victory over death, Easter brings with it a unique combination of holy contemplation and bittersweet joy….

Introducing: Matriarch

Posted on March 8, 2022 by Querida

Last spring, I met my parents, great-aunt, and a cousin in Wortham, Texas, where my maternal grandmother and her siblings were raised. I did not know that by the end of 2021, my great-aunt, her sister, would perish – and that this trip would be her final trip back home. So when I recently found…

For the love of Us

Posted on February 4, 2022February 4, 2022 by Querida

For several days, I left a tab open in my browser. The link was to a New York Post article from several years ago. In it, the now-deceased Cheslie Kryst was positively gushing over the beauty of her National Costume ahead of the Miss Universe pageant.  I kept avoiding reading about Chryst’s joy and looking…

Peace by Piece THEE Book

Posted on February 1, 2022February 1, 2022 by Querida

This weekend was long, strange, and very emotional for me. As a newly published author, who had partnered with a friend to embark on a new professional adventure for the both of us, I found myself in a position of feeling forced to separate my work from my friend and publisher. I’m a muddle of…
