Hispanicize 2013 Recap ~ Mucho Sabor Latino

Events / By / 2 minutes of reading /

I attended Hispanicize recently and was honored to speak at the Tech Bloggers session. Here are some of the highlights of the conference.

Cristy Clavijo-Kish with Yolanda Pagan when they announced the Memorial Scholarship fund for Louis Pagan’s children. Louis Pagan was the co-founder of Hispanicize and one of the first people I met on the Latism Twitter parties. He was such a nice man who inspired many Latinos in the blogosphere and social media. Unfortunately, he passed away unexpectedly a few months ago. This was a very emotional tear jerking moment since Yolanda, his widow and children came on to the stage.

Seeing the Big Picture From The Plane On Southwest Air

Events, My Life / By / 3 minutes of reading /

When I started my journey of blogging four years ago, I simply had a vision of wanting to inspire in some way. To be able to get in that inspired mode, I spent many days going to the beach to see the sunrises and sunsets, besides taking pictures of my butterfly garden. That is where I find the quiet time to reflect and look ahead at my life.

I took this photo of the beautiful sunset on the airplane on my way back from Latism 12 Conference as I looked out the window many miles high in the sky.  Same sun, different view…

During the course of these years, I have met many beautiful people I now consider friends. In fact, I can honestly say that 90% of the people I interact with now never existed in my life a few short years ago.  That is pretty amazing considering the fact that I am in middle age. …

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;)

Spanish Version

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. …
