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.
She has had a great mission in life to be the most amazing mother in the world. Having a mother like her is better than winning the lottery. I am much more complete by having been inspired by her and perhaps because of the example she has been, I have been able to pass on those same nurturing qualities to my son.
The name, Mi Caminar, was chosen by her, whose name is also Blanca. So if this blog continues for many years to come, I will always remember my mom as a big part of the birth of this blog which is still in baby step mode, but with a little love, hopefully will continue to grow. I want to thank my cousins in Colombia, Clemencia and Jorge, who helped me to continue in this project during a crazy year of changes in my life.
I also want to thank my friends at Latism for being such a great support and inspiration. It is because of all this love I have received from so many people that I will continue to be inspired to share many words from my heart and which I feel are ready to explode!:)
PS Happy Birthday to my dear little brother, Ricardo, who was also born on this day and who I work for at Jupiter Dermatology & Hair Restoration
