The Journey Begins

Many of my closest friends and family know that I’m a dreamer, I dream big, have loads of ideas, talk about some and keep others to myself because of fear of somebody thinking I’m stupid. But I’m also known for having all these ideas and never really executing or finishing them. This blog, is just another one of those ideas. I’ve had a non-active blog since 2011, I started it and then…. life just happened. In the same year, I got married, moved in to our new place, got diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis, started a new marketing job with the largest Hispanic media company in the Nation, Univision! This was too much life changing activity for a young 24-year-old girl with an autoimmune disease. Living in a body that is attacking itself is darn exhausting……and painful. So, this year, I have decided to really pursue my passion for blogging. I wanted to really start blogging because I want to use it as an outlet to motivate myself, be real with myself, and learn more about my flaws and my strengths. I’m not perfect, I know that, and I want to learn to embrace my being and encourage others to do the same. Along the way I really hope that my experiences I share with you through my blog either motivate you, educate you, make you smile, make you stronger, or just simply remind YOU to enjoy your life. 
To be quite honest I don’t feel there’s really nothing more special to me than there is to anyone else going through this journey called life. We go to school, we find jobs/careers, some of us decide to marry and have a family, some of us struggle to do some or all the above! We are all different and we are all special, we just must come to believe it. We all at the end of the day want to live a long, healthy, and happy life. For the past few years I have suffered from some sort of anxiety, I can’t pin point just yet what triggers my anxiety, but I do feel that when I get these mini episodes, it’s usually when I find myself thinking about my purpose in life and how I can get and give more out of life. I don’t have a special talent or a hobby that I excel at, I don’t have kick ass career in my industry of choice, I don’t save lives by putting my own life in danger………I’m just a simple girl, living life day by day, and yes paycheck to paycheck. 
By all means please know, that I am well aware I am no FASHION, HEALTH, FITNESS, PHOTOGRAPHY, TRAVEL, and PARENTING expert! My fashion sense is quite basic I follow some seasonal trends and I love to accessories with hats! I don’t know if it’s just because it takes away from my face and my possibly messy hair, but I do love hats, baseball hats, fedora hats, berets, beanies you name it.  I’ve stayed very active for most part of my life playing competitive soccer and strength train at the gym 3 times a week, or at least I try. I eat moderately healthy, but indulge in double doubles and animal style fries from time to time. I have two kids, 4-year-old Gael (GA-EL) and almost 2-year-old Valentina. I learn something new every day about parenting these two beautiful crazy children, they are super witty and can be a challenge to my patience. I love entrepreneurship and I love to learn about different careers, I never really had an answer to “what do you want to be when you grow up” I just always wanted to be like my mom, I wanted to be a “mom”. But I was also always very fascinated with the career paths of others and the struggles or hurdles they went through to get to where they are. What I’m trying to explain here again is I’m not an expert and my blog posts will just be about every day basic life. My goal eventually is to soon begin Vlogging through YouTube and creating conversation with all of you. I really hope you stick around and enjoy this journey with me!
