Let the Blogging Begin

 
And so it begins ladies and gentlemen, I am officially a blogger!:)  Never thought I'd see the day, but I'm in a "go for it" kind of mind set in my life right now and I've had quite a few folks in my circle that have encouraged me to let my voice be heard.  My main focus for blogging is motivational speaking simply because it's a huge part of my life.  I can honestly say that I haven't experienced quite as much of life's overwhelming disappointments, but I've certainly had my fair share and only God has been able to sustain me through it all.  If you are the least bit interested in keeping a positive mindset, grasping on to hope, looking for that silver lining, or just knowing that things will be okay, this is the blog for you.  I only know of ONE WAY to keep moving forward and that's through Jesus!  May sound like a cliché for some, but it's been the reality for my life. 

 
 
Just as a side note, in case you're wondering, my blog name came as a result of sign I saw in a small town in Europe.  It has nothing to do with being motivational, but it describes me and my interests pretty well.  No I'm not Latina, but I do enjoy the culture as much as my own.  I've had the fortunate experience of growing up overseas for a large portion of my childhood which exposed me to many different cultures at an early age.  I loved every minute of that experience and it has been one of the driving forces of my adulthood.  What can I say, I'm a people person?!
 
 
With all of that being said, let the positivity begin!  I live my life one day at a time, taking the time to thank the good Lord above for not only allowing me the chance to see another day, but to LIVE IT!  Yes, you can be alive, but are you living?  We all have our good days and bad days, but does the "badness" overwhelm us so much that we can't truly enjoy the life that God has granted to us?  Hopefully the answer is no, but if you find yourself in a place in your life where there just doesn't seem to be a sign of hope, fear not!  Believe me when I say, I've been to some dark, hopeless places and looking back, I can honestly say that the power of God and his love is what carried me through. 
 
 
Well that will conclude my first blog ever!  Pretty excited to share more and keep the positivity flowing.  Never forget that even in the midst of our storms, they too shall pass and a much brighter life is ahead... Que Dios los bendiga!

Fearfully and Wonderfully Made

Image
I have an announcement.... (DRUM ROLL PLEASE)..... We were ALL fearfully and wonderfully made (period)!  I'm sure at some point in our lives, we've suffered some sort of self-esteem issues because of situations or people in our lives that made us feel unworthy.  However, I am here to tell you (as well as myself) that yes, you are worthy!         What drives your self-esteem?  I can remember a time when my self-esteem wasn't based on the thoughts of myself, but instead it was solely based on the thoughts, opinions, words, and actions of others towards me.  Does this sound familiar to anyone else?  It's a crazy concept to take in because naturally, self-esteem should be based on what one believes of "himself"... But of course, we tend to develop a sense of "self" by what others or even society identifies us as.  Now imagine, if you will, that you made a sound decision to tune out all of the outside influences and ONLY accepted what God has deter

What Adventure Are You On?

Image
My Mom is a pretty interesting lady.  She's in her 50s, but lives as she if she's still in her 20s.  What do I mean by that?  No she doesn't dress young and she doesn't run around trying to look like she's a 20 year old (although she looks great for her age:).  What I mean is that she lives life adventurously.  Imagine all of the different things you want to do in your lifetime.  Some people have a "bucket list" or some just have some "must do" things that they want to accomplish before it's simply too late.  She sent me a text last week to tell me that she was taking a motorcycle riders class.  Now for those who know my Mom, seeing her as a "biker chick" seems to be a far stretch.  However, she passed the class and is now on the hunt for her own bike.  Everyday when she wakes up, she thanks God for the next adventure that the day may bring her and she steps into it with complete faith.  That mentality of hers has certainly rubbed o

Quench Your Thirst

Image
How Do You Quench Your Thirst?   I remember for a while that Sprite commercials used to claim that just by simply drinking Sprite, your thirst would be quenched.  That's a pretty good slogan for them to sell you on the idea that your thirst will be quenched by consuming soda!  Well, I'm sure we're all aware that that's not really the case, but either way, it's a good marketing scheme.  But, this whole concept about thirst has me thinking about life...    When I'm thirsty, I just want a nice glass, cup, or bottle of cold water!  Speaking of, I'm still getting used to the way water is served here in Europe.  I was asked on the first night I went out to dinner if I wanted water "with gas" and it made me giggle because I hadn't heard that term before.  It took me a minute to realize the waiter was just asking if I wanted "sparkling (with bubbles/gas)" or "distilled (no bubbles/gas)" water.  I'm definitely a "No
