It’s Been Six Years, It is Time
Come on, get your minds out of the gutter. It’s been six years I left Germany and it is time I revisit it again or move back. I love Germany. The three years I lived in that country were the must fun I had in my entire life. I ate so much food and had such good beer and I did not gain a pound. I lost weight when I lived there and it was […]

I am Craving Brownies
There are things we need and there are things we want and there are things we must have. I must have Brownies. The level of craving is to a point where I can’t stop thinking about it. I can almost taste the yumminess of the chocolate as it melts in my mouth. I love my brownies with walnuts. I must have these nuts. They are delish, and at the moment, I can’t have one without […]

I Deleted Three Articles in the Name of Love
I’ve been writing about my experiences in dating older men. And although my aim was to show how to look at stressful situation with humor, to some people my stories were hurtful. That was not my intention. On the other hand I could see how those stories can bother some people specially if they are the men that did such things. So, to keep the peace and love others, I took off the three out […]

When I learned to Love Me
I am in Love. No, I am not in a relationship. I am so in love with my life, with me. For a long time, I tried to find happiness outside of me. I looked for love in trinkets, in experiences and I looked for others to fulfill me, but none of that worked. This is me. I am Omayra. I hated my name. I have no middle name. I am Omayra. It is not […]

I Found a Doll
Hello June 24, 2019. Looking through a box full of pictures, I found this one picture of my niece Kaitlen and me. We were at a restaurant, and we just took this picture without posing or thinking about it. I remember it was close to Christmas and her first birthday and we had such a great time. I wish I could go back in time and relive those moments with my family. I wish I […]

The Assembly of Thirteen
CHAPTER 1 The Box That Stole My Mom’s Ring and Caught Me BOOM! “What was that?” June awoke, startled. She looked at her clock: 3:23 a.m. Every night she would wake at 3:23 a.m., sometimes from a nightmare, other times with night terrors, and still others just from habit. Tonight though, something different had woken her. Wrapped up in her blankets like a June taco, her brown hair all tossed around, she lay wide awake […]

My New Name, Calixta Harlow Carlyle
Calixta Harlow Carlyle is the name of the Character in my new book The Vanquishers of Alhambra, Calixta. I love this name so much I am considering changing my name, last name to it. I wrote the story, and by far, it is my favorite. I keep going back and re-reading it from the start and marveling at the plot and imagining of what is happening to the characters. You might say I have an […]
