The 2021 reading list is here! Check out the Teen Titans comics and other recommendations.
When the lockdown began I didn’t handle it well. I missed being outside and interacting with people. The pile of comics I had at home helped me escape my reality for a while.
As a kid, I never had a problem making friends. Sure, I was a quiet child, but making friends came easy. I did not think my family had a problem with the friends I made but I soon realized this was a lie. There were certain kinds of friends some of my family members had issues with.
It feels like yesterday when I first held your tiny body in the hospital. At 11-years-old, I felt this big responsibility over you. All I wanted to do in that moment was to protect you and be the best role model possible; someone you can look up to. You grew into a smart, strong-minded, independent woman with a love for numbers, Star Wars, and Hershey’s chocolate.
While all my friends were bopping their head to the Disney songs in English, I was singing the lyrics in Spanish. I grew up watching the Latin American dubs of Disney films, so belting out a hit in my native language is a reflex. Many people are not aware of the famous Latinx celebrities that provide a voice for the Disney characters. So, I am going to share some of my favorites with you.
Every day is Earth Day for me, because our planet needs our help now more than ever. Has anyone noticed that while we have been in quarantine, the earth has been slowly healing itself? All this proves that we humans are a virus to the planet. We need to do better to help Mother Earth continue to heal. Believe it or not, there are smalls ways you can go green at home that can make a huge impact.
My anxiety has been on overdrive. I am always terrified for my husband. I worry about the people I care about, and deal with my own fears. There have been nights where I have not slept due to nightmares or insomnia. In all that darkness, I have found tiny lights.
Remember a few weeks ago I wrote a post about the DIY gifts and mentioned a secret project? The secret project was given as holiday gifts to some special people in my life. People who have had my back and showed me support when I needed it most. As a thank you, I decided to make them MyIntent bracelets to add inspiration to their goals.
After almost two years, I can smile with confidence. I am finally free of my Invisalign braces! The sore mornings and consistent appointments are over. I can take a deep breath and grin. The journey had ups and downs, but after a lot of adjustments (and a deep hole in my pocket), I can say the treatment was worth it. Allow me to guide you through this process of the “perfect bite”.
