As the crazy year of 2020 that we all know and love (not really) comes to a close. I cannot help but reflect back on everything. From the global pandemic to the controversial Black Lives Matter movement, and the nail-biting presidential election. It has more than proven to be quit the year! Some that many … Continue reading Cheers
A year without you
I cannot believe it has been a whole year. A whole year without my first true love, a whole year without my shopping buddy, a whole year without my confidant, and most importantly a whole year without my best friend-my mom. Sometimes, I look at the phone thinking she might call or text. Or even … Continue reading A year without you
America the Beautiful
While a good portion of the American population is sulking from the outcome of the 2020 election results. Many others such as myself are crying tears of joy! For me this election meant more than just seeing a democratic nominee in office again. It meant seeing somone in office with compassion for all humanity. Especially, … Continue reading America the Beautiful
Heavenly Birthday
My mom was never one to make a big deal out of her birthdays. To her it was just another day. However, when the time approached for someone else's birthday, she was all over it! Especially another family member (e.g. grandma, aunts, cousins, etc.). I feel that in itself speaks volumes about her character. She … Continue reading Heavenly Birthday
In Her Honor
I grew up in a household learning how important it was to vote, that it was our civic duty. Especially having a mother that was a naturalized citizen from Mexico. She would not ever miss an opportunity to vote. Shamefully, the first and last time I voted was in 2008 for personal reasons. So last … Continue reading In Her Honor
Legacy of a King
For someone I did not know personally, the recent passing of Chadwick Boseman hit home. Naturally, I think it would have for anyone that has been affected by cancer in some way. One of the sweetest memories I have of my mother while she was sick, was watching Black Panther together. It was the first … Continue reading Legacy of a King
Hi Up There
Image via Google It is no secret that I am a true city girl at heart. However, have found myself appreciating the great outdoors more and more. I would not go as far as camping (unless you count Girl Scouts), but definitely a good nature hike. For me what I enjoy about hiking is not … Continue reading Hi Up There
GBM Awareness Day
Since my mom's passing I have been posting on the 23rd of each month because of the significance. Which tomorrow will mark eight months. However, today is definitely an exception because it marks the second annual Glioblastoma Awareness Day! Given, last year I shared on my social media outlets. I feel as though it was … Continue reading GBM Awareness Day
Weightless Love
Recently, I decided it was time to make a change in my lifestyle. It is no secret that I have put on quite a bit of weight over the last couple of years. Having a parent with terminal cancer will do that to a person. However, I have accepted what is and decided there is … Continue reading Weightless Love
We All Bleed Red
I usually keep my opinions to myself when it comes to anything political, but with the recent events it would simply be a crime not to express my feelings. You may not agree with what I have to say, but please remember these are MY OPINIONS and MY OPINIONS only. All I ask is that … Continue reading We All Bleed Red
