What is “The Hotel”– THE HOTEL OF BROKEN HEARTS? (by Masticadores)
Hotel was born from a conversation within the masticadores Editors. Barbara Leonhard (USA), Miriam Costa (Brazil) and j re crivello (Barcelona-Spain), understand that all of us, at some point in life, would like to write a letter to: an ex-love, or a deceased relative, or remember that landscape or house that sheltered us in a stage of our life. For this reason, we have created Hotel, an ephemeral tool that we put at the service of readers and writers. The only rule is a maximum of 600 words (in Word) and that the texts and images be accepted by the Editorial Board. That being said, Hotel will appear in Spanish and English. You can send your collaborations to [email protected]
My lovelies, I’ve been busy. You might laugh, but this year, starting with NaPoWriMo
all the way until now, I’ve felt a nice wind under my wings. I’m surprised at this and
elated at the same time.
For starters, I found out about the feasibility of having books read aloud to me
on my iPhone, and thanks to that, I’ve been listening to some of the books I’ve
purchased and submitting my reviews on Amazon. Not all appear on my website,
but most will.
But I need to be careful. Of late, I have the misfortune of knowing vertigo,
and it’s at times of busyness when it hits me. So, going forward, I will (try to)
balance the wind driving me and keep my flaws in check.
Friends, you’ve seen the review I wrote on Amazon and shared here for
Three-Penny Memories—A Poetic Memoir by Barbara Harris Leonhard.
I will blow on a dandelion puff
and renew the wish to land on fertile ground.
“The Undercurrent Of The Tone Engaged Me To Feel”
Three-Penny Memories — A Poetic Memoir by Barbara Harris Leonhard took me on a journey that made my soul feel bare at first...
Alone I am helpless, so I recruit the help I need. Today, I tapped in to the frequency
of The Hotel Of Broken Hearts– the wind helping this little seed sail to green pastures.
I thank my lucky star.
Thank you, J re Crivello, for honoring me in this lovely online literary magazine that
you and your many editors birthed recently. Thank you for providing us, Readers and
Writers with this tool.
Dear Readers, get acquainted with this new online publication that exists for us all,
The Hotel of Broken Hearts, where my review is circulating again and (hopefully)
reaching a bigger audience.
Here is the link. Won’t you head to Hotel to read or reread the review? I’d be
so honored knowing you did. Thanks in advance. I bless you.

A lovely review Selma. Congrats on publication. I hope you feel better soon. Hugs.
Happy about the nice words, dear Sadje. Thanks always.
Oh, I’m feeling well right now. But if I do t watch it, the monster will grab me. I won’t let it. Thanks for being here, dear one. I bless you. Xoxo
Take care. You’re most welcome
Thanks for bringing all these lovely books and Hotel to our attention. I have new reads to follow and writing to explore. thoughtful and generous words for fellow writers. xoxo
I’m thrilled you found this thoughtful, dear one. I bless you. Always. XoXo
I enjoyed the review. It has me adding the book to my list. Congratulations, Selma.
Three-Penny Memories. Great book. Thanks Heather, dear. I trust you’ll love it as much as I did. XoXo
Thanks for sharing the online journey, Selma! I’m sorry to hear about your vertigo. Do the doctors know what is causing it? If not, you may want to find a holistic healer to check your ileocecal valve. My sister suffered for over ten years before she discovered this was her cause. Sending healing energy your way…

The Hotel: I just found out too. And why not go global, right?!
Vertigo squeezes me when it’s the last thing I’m thinking about. Comes when I’m lost on 💻. I need to take breaks and look out — far into the distance. I just need to be intentional.
Thanks for the healing energy. I received 😊 😇 💗
Blessings, Yve. XoXo
A lovely share, review and journey, Selma. 🙏
Thanks so much for honoring me with a read and comment, dear MW. I bless you. Xoxo 🌝
My pleasure. Blessings galore to you, MW
🩶🙏
A wind under your wings – that is lovely, Selma. May it continue to carry you joyfully! Sorry to read about your ongoing vertigo. I’ve been there. It is awful. I believe I mentioned PT previously. Have you tried that? It was a great help for me. Did you receive your challenge prize email?
PT? I don’t recall this. Was it at the start of April? That’s the last time it lasted longer than a few hours. Thanks my sweet. Please tell me about PT again.
My 🏆 what loveliness. Yes. I also emailed back to say thanks. Xoxo. You are amazing, lady. Stay sweet 💃🏼 (I was hushed 🦢) thanks so much. Xoxo bless you and Sammi.
PT is physical therapy for vertigo. It really helped! I hope you find relief. 🌻 You are very welcome! 🤗
Nice reviews. Congratulations.
Aww. Thanks, Raj. So happy you enjoyed this. Bless you b
Most welcome!
Vertigo is very unpleasant!!
How does one get the iPhone to read books?
Thanks, Ruth. Bless you.
Read books? So glad you asked: Well it’s understood that first you need to purchase the digital book >> goes in your Kindle. That’s the easy part.
And then watch this YouTube video. I like his accent. Or just read what he says.
The only thing he didn’t mention, but you will notice, is that you’ll always have a semi-transparent arrow on your iPhone screen. (It’s easy to move it around) check it out. It’s sooo easy!

Oh no!!!! I’m sorry you are have vertigo. Praying that you feel better soon.
Thanks, dear Belladona. Don’t worry. I’m doing ok. Going slow. But still going. XoXo Today I didn’t read anything (until right now) spent the entire day gardening. Feeling fine.
Barbara will be so happy with your wonderful review Selma. I wish I was there it help you with treating your vertigo Selma. Yikes. no fun. Sending healing! 💞
Thanks Cindy. Gardening was my therapy today.
Yesterday it was forest-bathing that culminated with front seats to a firefly-ensemble: I swear, we saw one hundred fireflies.
Thanks, Cindy. I feel as if you’re here. Bless you. Congratulations on your book launch. Xoxo
Wow, I love how you are mixing it up. That’s so lovely. Awwww that is so very sweet. Thank you so very much Selma. So happy you were there! I will be having 2 live launches at home which I’m excited about. 💞
