Personal

It’s almost unfathomable when someone you love is gone. From the day I met the Moreno family, they introduced me and welcomed me into their family with gracious love. At every event (birthdays, weddings, reunions) we laugh loudly, talk loudly, and enjoyed great Tejano music. Today, our prayers and love go out to the Moreno […]

This Christmas, we spent most of our evening into the early morning at the hospital at my mom’s bedside. I saw the value of my family, together huddled up around my mom comforting and loving her. That day was the fourth day in my life I saw her at her least best, hunched over into […]

The past year I have been struggling with questions and thoughts that no one can really answer but myself. I’ve kicked myself in the head several times for not asking the right questions, so my New Year’s resolution is coming at you kind of early. Second chances mean I have to work harder to conquer […]

Rock around the clock in the living room while dancing, the Rockets game being interrupted because of OJ, breaking a window because you jokingly said Hootie and the Blowfish was on VH1, escaping late nights and crawling through dark floors trying not to get caught, the introduction to awesome 90s music and 80s movies, and […]

It’s like a Happy New Year all over. I start going through a list of things I am going to do better and things I am not going to do. Here’s twenty something things I love, I hate, and I may or may not do. 1. I hate diets. 2. I love food. 3. I’m […]

Yes, I was happy I was not selected for jury duty. I know it sounds bad, but if it’s not reruns of Law and Order and it is not starring Danny Pino, I don’t want to sit in a courtroom for half a day. I promise I couldn’t wait for jury duty to be over. […]

Last night, I decided in eleven days I am going to be a new person.  On September 16th, I get a second “Happy New Year.” I began to tell Neto what I thought all my flaws are. I explained to him that I hate that I am bossy, I wish I could start working out […]

I don’t know what it is like to have kids, but I imagine that the love I have for my nephews and niece is a great of a love a parent has for their children. I love that they are so innocent, but sometimes it scares me. Children are like a sponge, and if you […]

These past few days I’ve been feeling down, discouraged, like a failure. I missed my 5 minute workouts, my breakfast for champs, and I happen to misplace my purpose for life somewhere, until I started editing these photos. They were a great reminder of why I’m still chasing my dream and why I do what […]

Important life lessons of the day: 1) Stay humble. Not your title, the amount of money, your degree, or how much stuff you have makes you any different than the person standing right in front of you. Stuff can always be bought. Respect and dignity can’t. (One day the roles could be reversed.) Everyday I […]
