The Sweetest Note

Life sometimes gets boring.  Life sometimes gets tough.  Life is complicated. 

I had a very tough week last week.  Trying to find encouragement when things are spiraling downward is hard.  Other times, we don’t have to look very hard.  The little boost you need to lift you back on your feet comes to you… 

In my case, it came in the shape of a note… by a 7 yr old:

That's Shayla in the middle :)

Shayla left the note with my mom (Abuelita).  Mom told me that Shayla whispered to her ear – “Abuelita, can you give this letter to Tia Rocio”

Tough times will come and go.  Bad situations happen to all of us.  I know I will have more tough times coming my way, that’s just life.  But at least now, I have a reminder on my refrigerator about what is really important in life.

Life is Good!

It’s a Party

Hello everyone.  It’s been a really long time since I’ve posted anything.  After the passing of my beautiful cat, I needed to take a break, crawl under the covers and heal.  Thankfully, my life is full of amazing family and friends who helped me pull through this difficult time.  Also, I still have Miss Olivia, and someone needs to take care of her.  She has been such a good companion these past 5 months.

To sum up the past 5 months: There have been three races, two haircuts and a major move!

I moved to my new apt. in December and decided that the best way to celebrate was to throw a Stella & Dot party for my friends.  And boooy, did we have fun! I have the best friends when it comes to partying… We kept it classy, we kept it chic… well at least what I can remember… The party was officially over by 11PM, so anything that happened after that doesn't count! J

Here are highlights of the celebration:

 

Oli has picked up my addiction… yiakes!

Being a hostess is exhausting.  It took me 24 hours to recuperate… if you don’t believe me, just ask this little one:

Here is to the rest of 2014 and all the trouble that will come with it....

Life is good!
