“From Fan to Family” by Ligaya “Aying” Espina Cerny is now available for purchase

The dual love of writing and music has led her naturally to writing poetry where the two worlds so easily touch. She started off working on short poems and working to craft her own style. Noticing that many people are unable to appreciate poetry that is needlessly complex, Ligaya has promised herself that her poetry would be written in a simple style that could be accessible to most people.

In her heartfelt compilation, “From Fan to Family,” the author invites readers into a world where admiration transforms into a deep sense of connection. Momoa’s commitment to environmental sustainability, particularly through his brand of Mananalu Water, resonates profoundly with the author, who grew up in the Philippines. The reusable and recyclable aluminum bottles symbolize a movement towards reducing single-use plastics, a cause that strikes a personal chord with Cerny and inspires her poetic reflections.

The short stories and poems within this collection are more than mere expressions of fandom; they are a celebration of community and kinship. Cerny draws from her admiration for Momoa and intertwines it with her own experiences, creating a tapestry of emotions that reflect the bonds formed through shared values and passions. Each poem serves as a window into the lives of Jason’s family, friends, and fans, capturing the essence of what it means to be part of a larger family united by purpose and inspiration. Through her words, Cerny invites readers to feel the warmth of these connections, making them feel as if they are part of this extended family.

This collection is a testament to the power of relationships and the impact that individuals can have on one another. The author’s ability to weave personal anecdotes with universal themes of love, gratitude, and inspiration makes the poems relatable and poignant. Readers will find themselves reflecting on their own connections and the people who have shaped their journeys, creating a sense of shared experience.

One of the standouts features of “From Fan to Family” is the special section titled “My IG Family.” In this heartfelt addition, Cerny expresses her gratitude to the individuals who have supported her on social media, acknowledging the role that these connections play in her life. In an age where digital interactions often feel fleeting, Cerny’s recognition of her online community highlights the importance of these relationships and the genuine connections that can flourish in the virtual world. This section serves as a reminder that family can extend beyond blood ties, encompassing those who uplift and inspire us from afar.

Ultimately, “From Fan to Family” is more than just a collection of poems; it is a celebration of love, connection, and the shared mission of making the world a better place. Ligaya “Aying” Espina Cerny’s work invites readers to reflect on their own relationships and the impact of their actions, all while being inspired by the journey of a fan who found family in unexpected places. Through her words, Cerny encourages us to embrace our passions, cherish our connections, and strive for a more sustainable future, one poem at a time.
