Sweet Sorrow

I used to think it was my purpose to heal the world, I have learned and as cliche as it sounds, I really only had to heal myself so I can get back to a place of love, love for myself and love for others.

As I travel back to “The States” as the Brits say, I will take with me the fondest memories of this place and while it pains me to say goodbye for now, I am glad I did this for myself.

Let's Get Loud

We’ve made progress, yes, but we have work to do! And in the words of a woman, I so greatly admire, Ms. Jennifer Lopez and of course one of the world’s most beautiful women is Latina like me, “Let’s Get Loud…Ain't nobody gotta tell ya what you gotta do.

New Stride

This stops now. Let people be who they are, you can either accept it or not, but DON’T you dare dim someone else’s light just because you can’t handle it. If something irks you about them, then perhaps look inside and figure out what needs to change within. Often there is our answer when something bothers us. I’ve also learned that how people meet us is in direct correlation to how much they’ve met or dealt with themselves.

Life's Surprises

I’m happy going through my day-to-day. Wrong. If I’m not being challenged or things to change often, I get bored and fast. It occurred to me a while ago, that those years without acting were years where my life felt grey. The arts color my world. Is life easy? Ha. Absolutely not, but a life that is made easy all the time I’m convinced is not a life worth living.
