Since this is my first blog post I thought it would be appropriate for me to introduce myself.  I've always had a passion for writing and as a child I was either writing in one of my journals/diaries or you'd find me writing in my poetry book.  I was a very deep thinker growing up and I still am to this day.  I remember as a teenager I'd get lost in my thoughts for hours while listening to music in my room.  Although there are plenty of cons to being an over-thinker like myself, one pro is that we always have creative ideas.  I decided it's time for me to turn on my imaginative light bulb again which incase I've lost you, I'm referring to as my brain :-)  I'm ready to bring my visions to life on paper. 

             Let's begin with where it all started.  I grew up in the suburbs of Maryland with my grandmother, grandfather, and mother.  I didn't see my father much, he would sometimes visit me on weekends but we were never close.  Many people have always wondered what my ethnicity was and often times, people would ask me if I was adopted.  My mother is Caucasian (Irish-German) and my father is Filipino and Spanish(Spain).  Personally, I don't like to call my biological parents mother and father but I will save that story for another post.  I had many friends growing up and I hold my memories with them very dear to my heart.  Being a child is the most precious time of your life, your filled with so many wonders and questions.  If someone asked me if I could choose between winning the lottery tomorrow or going back to my childhood, I would choose my childhood in a heartbeat.  There are so many things I realize now as an adult that I was completely oblivious to as a child.  Wouldn't it be nice to have a second chance? 

              I'm not real big into astrology but I will say that I'm a Libra and the scales definitely do symbolize a lot for me.  I am a very logical thinker and when making decisions it takes me a lot of time to weigh out the pros and cons to come to a fair conclusion.  I started early in life and got pregnant at 19 with my high school boyfriend and now husband.  We got married when my daughter was 2 years old and she is now 6.  We live together with our dog Bella in a countryside home on 2 acres of land.  Our move was pretty recent, about 4 months ago and it has taken me a while to get used to literally "peace and quiet."  I'm hoping it will grow on me overtime.  

              My daughter has been the biggest blessing to me and being her mother brings me so much joy.  I'm a firm believer that everything happens for a reason and she came into my life just at the perfect moment.  The most important people in my life are my daughter and my husband.  We do just about everything together and they are my best friends.  I have many goals and plans for the future for my family and I.  I've been working on a vision board lately which I usually update every couple years.  If you have never heard of the law of attraction please click here The Secret.  I definitely recommend this book, it's an inspiring read.  Stay tuned for more posts about my life summed up by love laughter and happily ever after.
