Wanna go into a time warp to experience what it must have been like to be a woman in the 1960s or 1970s? Just spend some time in Latin America. Being a woman in the United States carries so much independence. When I was away, I took this position in life for granted or didn’t … Continue reading
So, it’s March 1st, and technically I am 11 days behind. I set out the goal of writing one blog each day in February for my #1blogdaily project. Why am I not done yet? Well, I could tell you a plethora of excuses, but let’s get real here. Here’s the truth. It’s my ego stopping me from … Continue reading
Confession: I’m a runner. Even when I’m not officially training for a race, somehow I find myself lacing up my shoes and going on runs. I enjoy running so much I’ll even travel out of town (even out of the country) for races. While other travelers probably just wanna chill, enjoy drinks on the beach and explore … Continue reading
Living in Houston, I didn’t realize how spoiled I was when it came to fitness class options. Since I’m an introverted EXTROVERT, I do enjoy going to group fitness classes on occasion as a way to get inspired from other teachers and learn something new. I especially like spin classes, TRX suspension classes, and … Continue reading
For the next two posts in this project, I’ll be sharing how certain places (Texas on Day 11 and Guatemala on Day 12) influenced my creativity.

(To combat the windy roads, I’d drink a glass of wine and pop a melatonin before hopping on the … Continue reading
Welcome to my 7th blog post! I’m a bit behind because I have been out of town doing some consulting work, but I’m back at it this evening. Hope you enjoy my latest entry. ————————————- 1) I had to become more open to making friends in different contexts. In Guatemala, I really was not the … Continue reading
I thought for my Day 6 blog I’d share with you one of the most popular fast food chains in Guatemala, Pollo Campero. Just like riding your first tuk-tuk or visiting the Mayan ruins in Tikal, eating Pollo Campero is a Guatemalan experience by its own right. Happy reading! ———————————- My first encounter with Pollo … Continue reading
Welcome to my fifth blog post! One of the most common questions I was asked when living in Guatemala was “How”? Or how was I able to up and leave to move to another country? This is going to sound a little bizarre and unrelated, but one of the initial steps in the process was … Continue reading
Hola and welcome to Day 4 of 28! With the craziness of the Super Bowl Weekend in Houston, it has been hard for me to concentrate today and grind out today’s post. And, I am committed to focusing on quantity instead of quality with my writing this month. So, here we go. ————————————————– On my … Continue reading
