Seeing Coffee Date with @authorgracereilly in print feels a little surreal 🤍

Thank you to @icaretown for giving me the space to share not only this upcoming gathering with Grace Reilly, but the heart behind Poetic Nectar’s Book Swap Socials and why creating spaces for books, conversation, and genuine connection means so much to me.

I’m grateful to see this little idea continue to grow in our community.

This feature from @onetribune came from staying with the work.
From writing through loss. From letting language carry what life asked me to hold.

I am featured in @twbmagazine Issue 13, January 2026 edition.

My interview, “Melba Morel on Poetry, Loss, and the Resilience That Blooms from Grief,” explores poetry as a place for grief, meaning, and renewal.

The issue is available on Amazon and through The World’s Best Magazine website, in print and digital.

Yesterday was our second book swap at @hobesoundsocial .

It was a hot morning, but people still came through, books were shared, and real connections were made. That part always means the most to me.

I’m really grateful for the women who showed up with such good energy and made the space feel welcoming and easy.

This is still growing, and I’m learning with each one, but I can feel what this is becoming and that excites me.

Thank you to @hobesoundsocial for letting us gather and build something like this. by @poeticnectar

Release Your Words is coming online soon!!! 🔥

This is a guided writing and burning ritual created to help you make space within.

Write what you have been carrying.
Fold with intention.
Burn gently.
Let the ash hold what you are done holding.

Because some things are not meant to be carried forever.

Plant Your Words and Release Your Words will both be available on my website soon.

Two rituals.
One to release.
One to begin again.

Stay close. The bloom is coming 🌸 taken in Treasure Coast, Florida by @poeticnectar

Poetic Nectar × @bloomtogethersociety 💗

So grateful to have collaborated with Bloom Together Society for such an intentional wellness experience.

There was something special about watching a room full of adults have permission to put everything else down for a while, reconnect with themselves, have fun, and simply be present.

I loved being able to bring Poetic Nectar into that experience and contribute something created specifically for the day.

@belousbloomandgraze , thank you for inviting me into what you’ve built and for creating spaces that give people room to experience wellness in a different way.

This was a beautiful collaboration to be part of. 💗 taken in Plantation, Florida by @poeticnectar

This Hispanic Heritage Month, we’re celebrating seven Latina founders from our #WeHearHer Advocacy Council who transformed lived experience into spaces for healing, leadership, creativity, and possibility. 🌺

And as you meet them, we have one ask — pass it on.

Pass it on to the Latina stepping into her next chapter and ready to recognize her experience as one of her greatest strengths.
Pass it on to the woman whose voice deserves more room at the table.
Pass it on to someone doing the brave work of healing without dishonoring where they come from.
Pass it on to the mother or comadre who deserves to be held by the community she helps hold.
Pass it on to the writer in your circle who keeps saying she’ll return to the page someday.
Pass it on to someone who needs proof that grief and becoming can exist in the same story.
Pass it on to the dreamer who’s ready to turn a quiet hope into a visible plan.

Swipe through to meet all seven founders — and then pass the spotlight on. ➡️

Which founder should more people know? Tag a Latina founder in your community below — let’s keep the celebration going. 🌼

Yesterday’s book signing at @spellboundbookstorefl was already special, but having my brother @therealnarciso there made it unforgettable. He came to support me, bought my book, had me sign it, and then took me out for ice cream. We caught up after years of not seeing each other and it felt like something in my heart clicked back into place.

My brother is a poet and a spoken word artist, and he is working on his own book. I am so excited for him. I cannot wait for his voice to rise and for the world to feel what he carries.

Grateful for family, reconnection, and the beauty of this creative path.
