Me enseñaron a ser: Niña buena. Bien portada. No ser mal hablada. No andar por las calles de vaga. No dar de que hablar. Sin quiebrar ningun plato. Obediente. Y ahora mirenme aqui - TODO UN DESMADRE GENIAL! I don't fit your standards. Sorry about ya'! New sticker in my shop. But of course, my... Continue Reading →
Be Louder, Shine Brighter
The last couple of months of 2024 were a challenge for me on the personal front. I was hit hard. So much that it forced me to take some extreme action - I took my tail back to counseling. Anyways, throughout those two months, I had time to find some things that have been suppressed... Continue Reading →
Uncomfortable Things
Once upon a time, this one dude I happened to cross paths with in life told me, “Vas a terminar sola porque eres muy rebelde.” Of course there’s more context to the story, but in that moment I just answered, “I don’t care.” And I meant it. You see, somewhere along the line I reached... Continue Reading →
History In Black
Everyone always asks, “Why does the villain have to be so evil?” No one asks, “What happened to the villain to make her be this way?” Most times, the villain was once a good person who was wronged, mistreated, and hurt. The villain was so broken she had no choice but to take all her... Continue Reading →
The Hard Truths

Why It’s A Big Deal
At this year’s Adobe MAX, they offered professional certification testing for some of their applications. During the very first class I took, the instructor repeatedly encouraged us to take at least one exam. Even if we didn’t pass, at least we’d have an idea of what the test is like. The next day I decided... Continue Reading →
Level 10
Yesterday was Miss Aria's 10th Birthday! While we got to celebrate her with a fun party, my baby girl has not been feeling well. Turns out she has a little pneumonia. It breaks my heart to see her not feeling well, but she is on the mend. Anyways, I couldn't go without mentioning this important... Continue Reading →
How You Been?
So, how you doing? I've become the worst at posting lately! Sorry. Much like you, life has been busy out here. Miss Aria is kickin' tail in school and all her activities. Mr. Alexander is doing his thing and I'm so fortunate to have him to do life with. Me, I'm still doing grad school.... Continue Reading →
