Two heartfelt poetry collections — quiet verses of faith, joy, and beginning anew.
A bilingual collection of side-by-side English and Hiligaynon poems on faith, nature, and migration — with histories of Iloilo, Barotac Nuevo, Calinog, and Bacolod, reader reflection activities for family discussion, and an intimate author message on grief, hope, and relearning one’s native tongue after moving abroad.
Written following the Growth Journey, this eight-book collection is an invitation to live out your growth every day — protecting your core through healthy self-care and honored boundaries. Inside: the grounding presence of nature, cherished family moments, the joy of community and dance, and beloved childhood Filipino recipes that bring warmth to the table.

Like a water flowing down the river,
Slow and steady.
Kissing each rock it passes,
Slow and steady.
Like a flower blooming in the garden,
Slow and steady.
Stretching its petals as it faces up the sun, Slow and steady.
Like a bird flying in the sky,
Slow and steady.
Spreading its wings wide and strong,
Slow and steady.
Michelle Windsor is a poet, a mother of four, and the author of Slow and Steady, one of the My Heart Sings series. Originally from a small town in the Philippines, her love for storytelling began in her childhood and traveled with her across many different landscapes—from the bustle of city life to the quiet of the coast.
With a background in Early Childhood Education, Michelle weaves themes of growth and healing into her work. For her, writing poetry is a way to stay grounded and express herself; it simply makes life a bit easier to navigate. She shares these verses in the humble hope that they might offer that same sense of ease and healing to others.
When she isn't writing, Michelle is likely tending to her four children and the "beautifully chaotic" reality of home. She and her husband are a close team, navigating the busyness of school events, trips to the park, and time in the kids' play area together. They make sure to find time for one another through occasional date days or nights, cherishing the quiet moments that balance their full lives. Michelle hopes her words offer a quiet space for others to take a breath and just be.
Author visits, school readings, interviews, or just a kind word — Michelle would love to hear from you.
