When I first started blogging over two years ago at my now inactive blog, Resurrect Your Hero, I was on crutches recovering from an ankle surgery. I was forced to stop everything so I could heal. I couldn’t imagine at the time that blogging would lead me into a new career in the Social Media realm. I was desperately hanging on by a thread in my work as a real estate broker.
Fast forward to now, and my life is completely turned around. I still maintain my real estate license, I don’t know why…maybe someone will hire me to broker a hefty deal which could give me a cushion to be able to have more time to write. But it is not in me anymore. Blogging and the new connections I have made through social media have become my new life. Luckily, my dermatologist brother has given me work as his Social Media Community Manager. …
This past month, I have been focused on my work and just being busy, busy busy..including planning new work with my co-author on this blog, Clemencia who works in marketing in Colombia. My whole reason to blog here at Mi Caminar is to receive inspiration mainly from moments that I take on my free time.
Going to the beach and watching sunsets are some of those activities I do to give me momentum to keep on moving forward in my dreams and personal projects. So after a month of not taking much time for myself, I finally took the plunge today on a beautiful sunny day and went to the beach.

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. …
