Celebrating Life By Taking The Route of The Turtle

me.December.15.2013
Two nights ago, I was out at a holiday party with some friends. We had gone to Cafeina Lounge after the party and around 1:30 AM and I asked my friend, Karla to take a picture of me in front of a wall of lights. I saw the glowing lights as a symbol since around that exact time 11 years ago, I had a severe car accident around 3 AM that changed my life 360 degrees. This picture, posted on Facebook, got over 130 likes and tons of commentary, the most ever since I have been on Facebook. I titled it “Celebrating Life.” I think that the ton of comments is because I added  “ …11 years ago where I almost died and didn’t walk for a year.”  Being on death’s door is something very scary!

Update December 17th: I showed my son this post and he cried after reading it saying that he was happy I was still with him. We both ended up crying and told him that God does everything for a reason.

Hispana Leadership Summit 2013 Recap and My Commitment To Be Vulnerable

I’ve been trying to catch up this month on all the blog posts I wanted to do. Hispana Leadership Summit was one of those events I almost missed out on because I had so much going on in September. I had four conferences back to back and almost didn’t go at the last minute.   I am so glad I didn’t because it was one of the best conferences I have ever gone to.

Some fun highlights on video:

First I would like to thank Space Coast Credit Union for taking a group of us from Miami to Orlando on a bus. I didn’t have to drive plus the time on the bus was priceless because I got to bond with some amazing women.

Vanidades and Poder Magazine  put on a top notch event at Disney’s Grand Floridian and Resort. …

Inspired By My Son ~ An Interview With Ana Flores And #InspireCare

Latism13 Conference

I was so happy doing this interview with Ana Flores on behalf of Johnson and Johnson’s Inspire Care theme. I love how supportive Johnson and Johnson has been in all these years and being continually present in all our conferences and evolution in our growth in this blogging space. This was taken at Latism conference in September. You can see all the Tweets on the #InspireCare hashtag. 

My biggest pride and joy this year has been being inspired by my son. He is in College and in the Leadership Program at FIU. Not only that, he is on the lead team of the leadership program and has spoken in front of hundreds of new students welcoming them to FIU.
