The Ordinary Bruja

For fans of Mexican Gothic and The Inheritance of Orquídea Divina, The Ordinary Bruja is a psychological horror and magical realism novel about grief, ancestral secrets, Dominican brujería, and one woman’s fight to reclaim the magic her family tried to bury.

When strange messages appear in mirrors, and the scent of cigar smoke follows her through her small Ohio hometown, Marisol Espinal must confront the ghosts of her past, the truth about her mother’s death, and the family curse waiting for her on Hallowthorn Hill.

Her family buried the magic. Now it wants out.

Throwback Thursday: Reflections on My Accidental Marriage Retreat


Looking back at my accidental adventure into a marriage retreat while being single, I can’t help but laugh at some of the situations I found myself in. It’s funny now, but it was quite an experience at the time!

Amused by My Single Adventures

I am genuinely amused by the odd scenarios I encountered while single. Signing up for a singles retreat only to end up at a marriage retreat was both awkward and enlightening. The discomfort of being the only single person amidst couples swapping terms of endearment was a moment I won’t forget.

Grateful for My Current Life

Reflecting on these moments makes me so grateful that I am not single now. I cherish my current partnership and the stability it brings to my life. The experience at the retreat made me appreciate the dynamics of being in a relationship and the support it provides.

Understanding Partnerships

This unexpected retreat was a blessing in disguise. It helped me understand the challenges and joys of being in a partnership. Watching couples work on their relationships and seeing the effort they put into their marriages was enlightening. It taught me valuable lessons about commitment, communication, and love.

Special Time with My Son

One of the best parts of this retreat was the opportunity to connect with my son, my original partner in crime. We explored Heidelberg, Germany together, creating unforgettable memories. The time spent with him was invaluable and strengthened our bond.

Conclusion

My accidental marriage retreat was an unexpected adventure that provided laughter, lessons, and lasting memories. It reminded me of the importance of embracing life’s surprises and finding joy in every experience.

Let’s raise a glass to all the single adventures, the lessons learned, and the beautiful journey of life. Here’s to appreciating the past and celebrating the present!
