A Journey To Finding My Soul

The Journey Begins

My name is Ines.  Today is my 56th birthday and I decided to create this blog to give a voice to my coqui soul. 

I call it coqui soul because I am from Puerto Rico.  The coqui is a tiny frog native from Puerto Rico.  It serves as a national symbol for Puerto Rico.  As a native Puerto Rican, I strongly identify with the coqui.  Thus, I’m calling this site My Coqui Soul project, as the purpose of this journey is to discover my Puerto Rican – coqui – soul.

I was born and lived in Puerto Rico until I graduated from college.  Then I moved to Michigan in 1984 to attend graduate school.  I now live in Michigan. 

After 34 years from leaving the island, I still relate deeply to the coqui.  I’m Puerto Rican by birth and feel that I will always be Puerto Rican in my soul.  

For the last several years, I have been doing a lot of self-reflection.  I guess you can say that I have been going through mid-life crisis.  A lot of things have happened that triggered my exploration.  I have been thinking a lot about who I am.  Not superficially, but who I truly am.  I have been searching for my soul. 

This blog gives a voice to my coqui soul.  I will be sharing my thoughts, my emotions. and the many life lessons learned along the way.  I hope that you join me in this journey.  Maybe you can relate to my observations.  I hope you can also reflect as you listen and even learn something about yourself.  I hope my journey can evolve into your own journey.
