this one is for you
this book is for the soft girls. for the ones who were always told they are too sensitive, too emotional, too innocent. for the ones who would rather spend an afternoon outside admiring the sunrays playing on the leaves. for the big hearts the world has called naive, the gentleness it has tried to harden out of them. your softness is not a problem to fix. your tenderness is not something to outgrow.

a taste of the poems
she is learning to live in the present like it is a gift, because it is. for she might miss the holy ground she is standing on right now.
from the bookall those years she spent apologizing for the very thing God placed in her, deliberately.

the woman behind the words
meet yanira
i spent years thinking my softness was a problem to fix, and only recently began to understand it as something to protect. i write for the girl who feels too much, who lives a little more inward than her friends, who is faithful in ways no one is celebrating, because i am her.
these are the poems i needed back then. an invitation, never a sermon. a soft place to land for the women who were always meant to stay true to their hearts, because God formed them that way on purpose.

words from readers
i read it in one sitting, then again the next morning, slower. it put words to the parts of me i had spent years apologizing for. i have underlined almost every page.
