A woman in harmony with her SPIRIT is like a river flowing. She goes where she will without pretense and ARRIVES at her destination, prepared to be herself and only herself. by Maya Angelou...

About me:
My name is Alicia Anabel. I live with my 16 year old daughter “the honors student and most important person in my life.”
We have the best life together and are so very blessed. She is my partner in crime.
At this point in my life...it’s all about being in the moment. Staying on my path...and not stopping for a moment! It’s about living with purpose, serving, sharing my time, loving those around me, and recognizing all those who are sent to me as guides and teachers and Miss Nia has been my most important teacher. It’s getting clear and staying focused. It’s making the choice to be happy every day and being grateful I get another day with Nia. It’s being disciplined and committed.
My passion is writing... I'm currently working on a historical fiction novel. My dream is to just write every day for the rest of my life. And I have no doubt that this is exactly how I will live my life. I want to tell stories that reach across social classes and cultures.
I am the founder of the NYC Latina Writers Group, a group created as a forum for Latina Writers to have their voices heard.
I love living in New York - there is no other place I would want to live. Well that’s not really true. I do want to have a house in the Dominican Republic. I'll tell you what - I ain't bored!
My message to those who visit my space:
DON'T EVER STOP
DON'T TAKE NO FOR AN ANSWER
DON'T LET ANYONE GET IN YOUR WAY - even those with the best of intentions
STAY FOCUSED
HAVE FAITH
BE STRONG
BE FEARLESS
BE TRUE
CHOOSE LOVE
CHOOSE LIFE
LIVE FULLY
SHARE KNOWLEDGE
TAKE PEOPLE FORWARD WITH YOU
BE A STUDENT
BE A TEACHER
WHEN IT GETS TOUGH - MOVE FORWARD ANYWAY
and always...always practice PEACE!
