Got questions?


Question Pictures, Images and Photos
We've done quite a few interviews recently and we're happy to do them, but we thought it might be fun to open the floor to YOU guys for questions.

Want to know how many shoes Isalys owns?
or
Where has Vanessa been hiding?
or
If we could change one thing about Book Soulmates, what would it be?

Here's your chance!
Leave a comment below with your question(s). 
They could be personal, blog related or book related.

Once we've collected all the questions, we'll VLOG the answers back to you.
Fun, right? We thought so too!

Where Isalys has been...

Hey everyone!

I'm sure you've all noticed that it's been awfully quiet around here lately.  I was supposed to be in Vegas all last week for work.  My hubs, who normally doesn't join me on these trips decided to tag along this year.  We flew into Vegas on Saturday afternoon to have a couple days of down-time before I had to start work on Monday.

Unfortunately, things did NOT go as planned!  On Sunday (yes, Mother's Day), my family notified me that my grandmother was taken to the hospital because of a severe pain she had gotten in her upper back.  As it turns out, it was her heart.  They had to rush her into emergency open heart surgery to repair the artery that had ruptured.  By Sunday night, we got the call that the doctors managed to repair the artery but my grandma's heart was too weak and she passed away on the operating table.  Needless to say, this was a HUGE shock since as far as we all knew, she was feeling well and was not sick.

Thankfully my husband was with me and he arranged to get us back home on Monday.  I was a wreck so I know I couldn't have managed without him!  He was my ROCK this past week!  Rather than participating in work-related festivities as planned, I spent the week mourning my grandma with my family.  As my cousin said, "life happens when you're busy making plans."

Thank you for all the warm wishes sent my way and a special thank you to my best friend Vanessa for being there for me and my family when we needed it most ♥

I am proud to say that I am named after two incredible, strong, hard-working and loving women.  I am the third generation Isolda and I can only hope that I continue making my grandma proud! Maybe one day we'll continue her legacy with Isolda the fourth ;)

Rest in peace Abuela Isolda ♥ Nunca te olvidaré y siempre te voy a querer!


My grandma, Isolda U. Garces as a young woman in Cuba (early 1950s)
Wasn't she beautiful?

Mom and daughter, the first two Isoldas :)

The last picture I took with her on my 32nd birthday last month.

I've taken this week off from blogging because frankly my heart hasn't been in it.  I will be back soon though.  Thanks again for the support!

Love you all,
Isolda Alicia
