Living and growing up in US makes very difficult to comprehend the situation in Venezuela. I always said that my heart belong to the US but my soul will always be Venezuelan. These days have been horrible because two events, one in Venezuela and one in Boston have made it very confusing and made me realized what it is to love with the heart and what it is to love with your soul…
Palm Sunday – Domingo de Palma
Today Palm Sunday. A day to remember Jesus and what he really means in your life. 
God, I am grateful for me believing in you, and I am grateful for you believing in me. Today life gave me another chance….God, that is the best word I pronounced today…
Remembering Spirituality
After a long time I felt the need to go to church. I am catholic, but a catholic that lost the faith in church. I sat on the bench and tried to make sense of the services. I felt sadness in the people. The sermon was short, a lot shorter than I expected it. It made me think about God and the meaning of it in my life. I left feeling refreshed and happy. Spirituality is necessary…

Miss. Dracaena Bloomed – My Corn Plants Bloomed
My corn plants bloomed after nine years and its fragrance made me remember even more those times in my life when flowers bloomed year round. I grew up among orchids, dahlias, lilies and jasmines…

2013
2013 – Less coffee, more green tea, fewer worries more fun, fewer people I know, more quality friends, less driving my kids to different activities, more time letting them be kids, less time worrying about making everybody happy, more time being happy with the way things are, more time enjoying nature, less time complaining about the weather, more time hugging my kids, more time smiling, less time trying to be perfect, more time cuddling with my husband, less time making sure my house is perfect, and lastly spending most of my time loving life and appreciating that people aren’t everything, they are the only thing…
About Me
The Tragedy of Sandy Hook Elementary – No Rules in My House Tonight …
I never thought I was going to think about Sandy again, but unfortunately it is happening. In the middle of my Christmas baking I received the terrible news about the shooting in Connecticut at the Sandy Hook Elementary School. The rest of the afternoon went between my baking and thinking about why all these shootings are happening.
I thought about the parents of these children and my anxiety became worse. At 3:00pm I was there in the school gym. I saw my kids and I realized how important it is to live every little moment that you have with your family.
Tonight we had comfort food, not all seated at the table as usual, but on paper plates walking and watching the news. There were no rules tonight in my house, no time to be upset, or angry or sad. We played and played and played. Right now, as I type I can see my kids falling asleep on our bed.
Today was one of the happiest day in my life because I got to go get my kids from school… and I learned how to make cake pops for them…
