I am an old school Latina. My hips are wide, my hair is curly, my heart is always open. I am a nurturing lioness- I will give you the clothes off my back and fiercely protect those I love.

Facing, Accepting, Embracing…
Change. Three important things we need to learn about growing up and accepting change is that it is inevitable, sometimes it can be painful and it almost always happens out of the blue.

I never thought I’d be quoting Pamela Anderson on my blog, especially in my second post. But I ran across this quote which actually inspired my post: A little bit of pain is good for you.
