A year ago, I launched this blog. I started it because my heart was calling me to write in Spanish to connect with my Colombian roots even though I  grew up in Miami and speak English 80% of the time. Two of the people that inspired me to start this blog were two people I love dearly, my mother and my cousin, Clemencia.

My first blog post was Feliz Cumpleaños Mama. I have learned in my walk in life to follow my heart 100% and I am happy that coincidently I launched the blog  on September 8th, my mom’s birthday and which was a total coincidence. In this past year, I have had the opportunity to connect deeper with my mother, not only as a daughter, but as a friend. …

Happy 1 Year Anniversary Laurita!

I was fortunate to meet a very inspirational young woman at Blogher.  Laurita Tellado has a blog called Holdin Out For A Hero. Her mission is to bring awareness to those that have Spina Bifida. We connected right away and took the opportunity to video her to help support her cause.

I have been so busy since I came back from Blogher and finally got to my video clips this weekend. Luckily, I was able to listen to her again and realized that the one year anniversary of her blog is today!  So I am happy to share this  because Laurita inspired me so much. Her smile and energy is contagious.

When I was a freshman in high school,  I met Beki, who was to become my best friend for life.  At 12 years old, she was wearing a body brace due to severe scoliosis. She had to wear that bulky body brace 24/7. After 3 years of knowing her, she came up to me at school one day with a big smile asking me if I noticed anything different. I looked and looked without “seeing”  any change. Finally, after a couple of minutes, she burst out that she no longer had the brace. It was so strange. I never paid attention to the body brace. She was just Beki, my fun loving silly friend. …

I am writing this post in English after being inspired by hearing Silvia, from Mama Latina Tips, speak at the Latina Panel at Blogher. I will attempt to make this a bilingual blog. After all, yo soy una Spanglish woman;)

When I am with a group of people, I love to talk alot. Yes I am a chatterbox! A few days before I went to Blogher, I wrote this post Escuchar En El Silencio. My blog is about finding deeper meaning in life. So after a whirlwind of activity, fun, laughter and smiles, attempting to explain my experience at Blogher, I find myself without words. Here is a great recap in pictures & video on the Latism.org website.

To be able to do so,  I would like to share  some thoughts about one of my favorite pastimes, observing my butterfly garden. A few days before Blogher, I found a zebra butterfly still sleeping around 9am, hanging upside down and blissfully peaceful on the edge of a vine. It was unusual because normally at that time, they are already flittering about in frenzied movement and when sleeping, they normally camouflage under more foliage for protection. …
