“Flower Sent From Heaven” (Nilda’s Blog)

By SoLatina | May 16, 2012 - 5:25 pm |

I couldn’t believe that the 1-year anniversary of when I lost my baby was coming around. It had been the hardest year my broken spirit ever went through. I had moved two hours away from my family in Chicago. My third pregnancy was extremely high risk and I ended up having to have an emergency C-section to save my life, but it killed my unborn child. Dealing with that pain was something I never expected I would experience. Two months later … Read more →

“So Where Did You Two Meet?” (Nancy’s Blog)

The implausible has happened: he put a ring on it! (Thank you, Beyonce, for familiarizing a fun way to say “I’m engaged.”) After the squeals of delight, the examination of the rock, and the questions about the proposal, inevitably people want to know how we met. Well, it was a dark and stormy night. Suddenly I had a blowout on my rear tire. As I crouched with a lug nut pretending I knew what I was doing, scared and alone, a … Read more →

“Loyalty Begins With Being Loyal To You!” (Saretha’s Blog)

This has been a really enlightening semester for me. Aside from taking an American History course with Professor Solis, a Puerto Rican Folk Dance course with facilitator Noelia Torres, and a psychology course with Professor Keppis, I had the pleasure of taking a philosophy course with Dr. Rene Ramirez. He is a professor at Boricua College who has just published his first book, titled “Within Reason”. Philosophy is the study of fundamental problems such as those connected with existence, knowledge, value, … Read more →

“Follow Your Heart” (TheRealDWithV)

In our society many of us spend our whole life working hard at dead end jobs that don’t truly make us happy just to make ends meet. I grew up seeing my mother and my father working hard just to get by, living paycheck to paycheck. My mother was a housekeeper and my father a maintenance man. Growing up I found myself seeing the weariness in their faces and realized that they weren’t passionate about what they were doing; it was … Read more →

“I Am Going To Survive” (Naomi’s Blog)

By SoLatina | May 3, 2012 - 4:28 pm |

Comments { 7 }

I was inspired by a feature in this month’s ‘O Magazine’ entitled “A Thing Or Two I Wish I Knew”, where accomplished men and women gave advice that they would have given themselves when they were 25-years-old. I enjoyed reading the letters of advice and insight, and I became flooded with all of the things I wished I could have told my past self. When I was 25, it was 2003. My sons were 6 and 3, and my daughter was … Read more →

“Effects Of Sexual Abuse” (Jo Anna’s Blog)

I always knew that your life experiences shape who you are at any given point in your life. Through my studies in psychology I have come to understand the fundamental concepts that define why and how our experiences, and other factors, can shape the person we have become. A theorist named Abraham Maslow developed the concept of the hierarchy of needs; it states that all people have 5 essential levels of needs that must be completely satisfied in order for a … Read more →

“No Good Days Without Bad Days” (Crystal R’s Blog)

Lately things have been going great for my family. My husband got a big promotion and we might finally be able to buy our first home. There is no family drama…everything is good. But just like everything else, there’s ALWAYS bad with the good. In my situation, the bad is both of my doctors. Anyone who has read my blogs knows that I have both mental and physical problems. First off, I have had these huge damn migraines for two months … Read more →

“Misery Shouldn’t Love Company” (Sara’s Blog)

By SoLatina | April 23, 2012 - 5:24 pm |

Comments { 1 }

At times I sit and wonder if people can only be happy for others when they themselves are happy. If in fact it is true that misery does indeed love company. I always tend to be the type of person to never believe that someone isn’t genuinely happy for me. But if they are miserable, they will spew negativity my way. At times I am very loud and outspoken. Well, actually most of the time I am. I‘m not one to … Read more →

“What Is Love?” (Karla’s Blog)

There’s something I need to get off my chest. I’m tired of hearing about all these failed marriages/divorces. If your marriage is salvageable then work at it. Don’t just walk out because it got hard. And definitely don’t jump right back into another one. Take the time to make sure your heart is in it this time around. Marriage won’t fix a failing relationship and neither will a baby. They only bring more problems. You get married when things are great; … Read more →
