What do you do when life grants you everything and yet you are not happy?

Are you allowed to complain when the rest of the world is plagued by disease, war, and abuse? Instead of feeling shame about her unease, Mena Teijeiro believed she had a responsibility. With resources, a curious brain, and a burning fire within, it was her duty to stop living an empty life and instead explore who she was to understand the human experience.

Full of courage and a big heart, Mena's poems are vulnerable and raw. Written mostly in free verse and in the first person perspective, her musings are bravely personal.

The Alchemy of Words

carries the essence of love and truth, disappointment and loss, abandonment and loneliness, and joy and innocence. Mena has been gifted with the ability to alchemize tender and precious moments into vibrant words, offered as whispers to our higher selves. It is time to take a journey of surrender in which we remember that, in our hearts, we are all pure, loved, and awakened to possibility.

Mena's use of natural phenomena for inner transformation hints at our connection with the Earth. The time is ripe for a deeper understanding.
