Count Your Blessings
Hello there,
It's finally December! Christmas is just around the corner (as well as finals week but lets get our minds off that just for a bit) and I know many people that have their mind set on all the gifts they yet have to buy for their friends and loved ones. I think we should also take some time to reflect on the billions of people in this world...

Fearless Changes
Hello there,
Long time no see! I've been a bit busy these past few days with assignments, work, and catching up with my sister who lives in Massachusetts and was back for Thanksgiving break. I've also been pretty pensive...can you believe that this week it'll be December, the last month of the year?! It blows my mind how quickly this year went by...

In Your Memory, Tio Felix
Good morning, good evening, or good afternoon...wherever you are,
In the words of Jean-Baptiste Massieu:
"Gratitude is the memory of the heart"
This was my quote of the day in my National Geographic, 365 Days of Reflection book, and I couldn't help but think of you. Today also happens to be your birthday, another birthday...

~ October Favorites ~
Hello there,
The first week of November has quickly gone by and I'm sure most of us cannot wait for this week to be over with already. To sort of get my mind away from all this election drama (btw, PLEASE vote!) I've decided to make a list of my ultimate favorite items for the month of October. Some of these items have made a huge impact in my life...

Mes Morado in NYC
Wuynas nuchis!
Besides June (birthday is on June 11 btw) and December, a month I eagerly look forward to every year is October. In Peru, October is known as Mes Morado aka The Purple Month (cue Purple Rain please) and this month is filled with stunning processions every Sunday honoring El Señor de los Milagros ~ The...

Heart of a Fighter - The Sacrifices of Volunteer Firefighters in Peru
Good morning, good evening, or good afternoon,
This year I was blessed to spend my New Years in Lima, Peru for the first time with my huge family and warm next door neighbors which you can watch part of that experience in my Peru vlog to get a glimpse of it. Well, a tradition that is typically done to bring in the new year is something that's...

The Conquest to My Heritage and Manuela Saenz
Good evening or good morning, wherever you are,
First of all I would like to share my quote of the day in my "Daily Gratitude: 365 Days of Reflection" book which I love;
"When one door of happiness closes, another opens;but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one that has been opened for us."
- Helen Keller

Catcalling is NOT A Compliment
Good evening,
I've been a bit busy with school, work and life in general, but something happened to me on Monday that inspired me to write about something I don't often like to talk about but I feel like sharing this would be important. I live nearby a police precinct so while walking home with my sister after a wonderful day, we were passing...

Las Matriarcas ~ The Matriarchs
~ in honor of my Tia Maria who is the trunk of her family and currently fighting for her life.
In my family, our mothers are the ones who have kept the family together. Many sacrifices were made by my great-grandmother, grandmother, mother, and my great-aunts and aunts throughout the years. The word impossible is non-existent...

The Ikonn's
Wuynas Nuchis!,
If you read my The Power of Gratitude in My Life blog, you would know that two people that have been very inspirational in motivating me to achieve my life goals and passions are Mimi and Alex Ikonn. I started following Mimi and her sister Leyla four years in 2012 when I found their LuxyHair channel on Youtube and fell in...

Thursgiving - UNHCR
Good evening my lovelies,
Earlier today while planning out the blog posts I will be writing out throughout the month of October, I decided that today I will talk about a charity that has been very dear to me for about a year already. Right now, while many of us all are worried about where we're going to go out...
