Do you have what you want in life?



Sometimes some of us have more than a  million things going on at a time.  That you do not stop and take some time to enjoy what you have.  You have life, a purpose, family, friends, maybe a pet?  You have an emotional attachment to something or someone other than you.  But do you actually value and cherish them? When  things are going good in life we don't think of how lucky or blessed we are.  We seem to put the good in the back of our heads and not appreciate it.  Because we believe that we deserve the best and the best should get better with time (just like wine. lol)  But it doesn't always get better, or you may not have the time for it to get better.  We don't think of what we have most of the time until we lose it. We don't think of how mush some one meant to us until they pass away.  Or how much you really liked something until it breaks.  Even though they were there every day before, they were not part of your conscious until they were gone. So I encourage you all today to be more aware, take a moment and see how good your life is.  If you feel like there is nothing good at this moment ask some one.  I had to do that when I was depressed, even though I have a wonderful husband, 3 amazing kids we both had stable jobs a big home a cat and a dog.  I mean it was almost like a picture perfect life!  I could not think of one good thing in my life, because depression did not let me see it.  So I asked my husband what is something good in my life.  Yes the question hurt him!  But he knew what I was dealing with at that time.  I was having a lot of health issues with my skeletal system and my vision.  There were days I was not able to walk, or to see.  I felt like there was no point to keep pushing for  a better tomorrow when I wouldn't be able to see it or enjoy it.  But all my husband said was your alive.  My therapist and husband then suggested to write down 3 good things about my day every night.  It was so hard at the beginning.  I could not come up with 3 things and it would frustrate me.  Three things are not a lot, but at that dark moment in my life it seemed like an eternal list.   I still write my feelings ones in a while, I still check with myself on how I am really feeling.  I still get depressed at times when I don't know how am I going to keep pushing forward.  But I am a lot more aware, I cut off things in my life that I enjoyed like volunteering.  To enjoy the moments with family and friends.  Also to be able to have time for me!!! Give your self some time, and let me know at least one thing you are happy/thankful for?

I wanted my pregnancy a secret...

It took me  while to know exacly what to post about. I knew I wanted to share what I was going through. But I didn't know where to start. So I will start with what seems to bother me the most.  For those that do not know.  I am pregnant with my third (yes #3) child, and yes I am only 22. To be quite honest we wanted to keep the pregnancy a secret. Because we did not want to deal with the people asking, why did we do it? Instead of congratulating us for expecting a baby.  I mean it is our third child, and people act like we have no idea the expenses that come with having kids. Or we never heard of birth control and condoms.  I mean do people actually stop and think of the kind of insults they are saying to us?? Do we look or act that stupid, to not know??? But let me share what people really do not know! 1.  My husband and I wanted to have another baby. Because we always wanted a girl.  The girl we were going to have did not make it 4 years ago. ( ...

I have AS

Hi you guys! I know it has been awhile since I wrote, but it has been hard to write for me.  One I am not sure what to share there is a lot I want to share but not sure how or where to start.  Second I am actually having issues with my hands.  Yes my hands, my DNA mutations is acting up again you can say and it is really messing with my skeletal system.  So I was recently diagnosed with  Ankylosing spondylitis or for short AS.  The definition you will find online:    is an inflammatory disease that, over time, can cause some of the vertebrae in your spine to fuse. Not a big deal...(sarcasm there.)  So I am losing mobility in my body.  I decided to share the news with the world last week, but for the people that have been paying attention (just kidding) the people close to me it is not news.  I have been known to using wheelchairs and canes when needed.  It is just getting to a point where they are needed more and more....

How to Pambazo

Hello everybody!!! Today I want to share with you guys a little bit of my culture with some amazing Mexican food.  Now this is traditional Mexican food not something very common to see on the States but it is so good! My mouth is watering just looking at the pictures...lol  It is called a Pambazo they date back to the colonial times, when the Spanish invaded Mexico.  This pambazo is the "traditional" Mexico City style.  Different regions have made changes and adapted the recipe to its location. So here is a quick break down of how it is made and the changes you can do for a vegetarian style pambazo.  (Yes I am a tree huger. lol) STEP 1: Make the SALSA.  It is red guajillo pepper that is cooked on a pan with NO oil or water. Ones it gets toasted, you add a little bit of water and steam it. You then add the peppers and liquid to a blender.  You then add a tomato...  Add garlic...  Add a little bit of salt and maybe some more...
