    About this ebook

    This book is a collection of three previously published books of poems and reflections regarding: important people, events, emotions, religion, nature, sports, music, education, Mexican and American food, Novell Corona Virus 19, and politics. The collection is deep rooted in personal experiences and family influences. Fortunately, many experiences were rewarding and priceless, others were difficult and challenging, but these events and moments in time helped me understand myself and the world better. At the end of the day, it’s all about taking care of your family and service to others.

      I DON’T think I’d describe myself as a perfectionist. Yes, I do push hard to get things right and I expect the same from others, but I don’t spiral if things happen to be different from what the textbook says. As I’ve grown older I’ve realised there’
