I know I have not posted lately. I’m in one of my moods where I have a lot on my mind so I prefer not to speak at all. Competing concerns and thoughts, and I am too tired to sort them out, but aware enough to know they need sorting before sharing them with the … More Let’s talk about egos…

Disappointment and pain amongst friends.. A coworker mentioned they were feeling sick. Two days later I messaged them that I hoped they were feeling better. Later, in conversation, I mentioned that I was not a fan of large public outings, and she seemed surprised that I would be against being around people.

Tiny and I took a leap and a risk and visited her grandparents in Spain! It was terrifying (cooties and all), exhausting as hell, fun, stressful, and everything in between! It was Tiny’s first flight and it was a LONG one. She took it like a champ both ways. Overall, a success for Tiny!

I’m like 80% of Mexican/American Native descent – got the DNA test and all. From both sides of my family there is a strong Native American MesoAmerican blood line, and with a DNA tests I was able to see how much of that I got from my parents. Without sounding too cheesy, I always felt … More Christopher Columbus
Do you ever really know someone? Your partner, your kid, your best friend? Yourself? There is someone that I used to know. Or I thought I knew. They were my best friend. I likely was not theirs, but they were mine. And I was myself. Anxiety, depression, goofy and weird and all. I shared and … More Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind…

We yell out “Viva Mexico!” September 16 carries over the celebration of independence. It is a beautiful celebration of color, life, culture, and national pride. This year was my first year where I have been in a … More Viva Mexico!
