Hello,

September 2, 2013...I just look out the window and saw the first leaf turning colors on my maple tree.  I am so ready for the colors or the fall.  Fall is by far my favorite time of the year.  Enjoy this beautiful weather.

I just finished creating my web page.  The purpose of the page is to use it as a diary where I can share my opinions, pictures, some Latin recipes, and of course the adventures of this Latina Mama in the South.  Check it out! It's just the beginning...more things to come soon!

Latina Mama PR: Tears from the sky...on a near perfect Sunday

Tears from the sky...on a near perfect Sunday

It was a beautiful Sunday...the sun was out...it was not cold it was not hot...it was the perfect Sunday.  Then all of the sudden, tears started falling from the sky.  Sunday was no longer the perfect day.  What to do? How to stop the tears from coming down? Tears can't be stop...tears will fall when need to.

 

Plans were ruined, there is no plan B...there is all the thunder and lightening of the storm and all the rain.  One needs to learn to have a plan, to think quick, to let go, not to dwell on the things that cannot be change.

 

What to do?  How about close your eyes, take a deep breath...and do it all over again.  When you open you eyes...all of the sudden you realized that there is a laundry basket full of clothes that need to be put away, there is dinner that must be cook, there is a child that needs your attention...and all of the sudden Sunday, once again, turn out to be a beautiful day.

 

Loving my Sunday

 

Love life for what it brings you, no matter how much you question life's intentions-YJA

 

Mind...could you please stop wondering...

Have you ever wonder about the "What if's"...I try very hard not to go there...but sometimes...I can't help it.

Things I am loving this Saturday

This Saturday I am loving...

My new I-Phone 5

It was time for a phone upgrade...I've had my Blackberry for a few years and my husband was insisting that it was time for me to get a new phone.  Well, I could not decide between the Samsung Galaxy and the I-Phone.  Friday evening, all of the sudden I tell my husband, well let's get the phone.  I decided for the I-Phone (mainly because of all the accessories).  I am loving my new phone!!!

This "Frontera" marinate is amazing

I discovered this "Frontera" marinating bags at WalMart a few weekends ago.  I am totally in love with this. They come in different flavors and its as simple as pouring the contents into the meat, cook and enjoy.

One last favorite of the day is this "Mainstays" Raspberry Parfait candle

This smells so good...they were cheap too.  I bought this one at WalMart last week and I just lit one up today...the smell is very soothing!

This are my "I am loving this Saturday" items today. 

Mi Isla...A quick introduction...

 This is Puerto Rico. A beautiful place to vacation with your family. Before I said "I DO" I made my husband promise me that he would buy me a plane ticket to go to Puerto Rico at least once a year. We have been together for 12 years and so far he has been able to keep his promise.

I love everything about the island but one thing that I feel is different from the United States is the beaches. The colors of the sky and the ocean are amazing...just breath-taking beautiful.



The picture above is the beach near my hometown Arecibo...I grew up going to this beach with family and later one with friends. Many memories took place in this area.



Just to end this quick introduction of my beautiful island...here is a beautiful Sunset in "El Muelle de Arecibo".

The importance of having friends

Friends...Sometimes people that play an important role in our lives...no longer are part of it. A friend, no matter what the circumstances are...will always STAY. Treasure your friends.

What is a friend? What is an acquaintance?

I think a friend is someone who will always be there for you even when you are at your worst. A friend is someone in who you condide things that are private or special for you knowing with certainty that that person would never judge you or repear the things you have said. An acquaintance for me is someone that you know, someone you interact on a daily basis or a lot, yet there is a feeling of unease, a something that would not let you move to the friendship level.

How often do friends see each other?

It truly does not even matter! A friend will always be a friend whether you spend time with that person or not. Years can go by and as soon as you see or hear that person you go back to the same level of comfort, the same trust, like you have just seen that person a day or so ago.

Why have a friend or friends?

Because when you have a friend, its a click, a magical thing just happens. A frienship is never planned or forced. Just like falling in love with your love...it's something magical...it just happens. Having friends is like air. You need air to breathe...some people like me need friends...to live.
